What drying runs into in Chamberlayne
Serving Chamberlayne and the surrounding area, including The Hills, Three Fountains North, Chamberlayne Heights, Sterling Forest, Schrader Woods, Chamberlayne Farms, Northfield, Craney Island Estates.
Local housing stock
75.2 percent of Chamberlayne's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1974, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1974 with three quarters of the stock older, the standard plan puts a sliding door at the back onto a concrete patio that was poured flush with the interior floor, which looks well and leaves no height between them.
Climate & seasonal risk
September brings 4.66 of the 47.09 inches Chamberlayne sees in a normal year, and July averages 78.3 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; rain recorded at LAUREL 0.8 N 4.4 miles away and temperatures at ASHLAND HANOVER CO MUNI AP 5.6 miles away. September is the wettest month at 4.66 inches of a 47-inch year and three months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain arrives with tropical remnants late in the season; a patio at floor level has no margin at all when that happens.
How water losses tend to end in Chamberlayne
- No height between the patio and the floor, so water reaching the door reaches the room
- A slider track at ground level, so the drainage slots in it are the only defense
- A patio that has settled toward the house, so the situation gets worse rather than staying level
