Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Glen Allen were built and the answer is 1993 at the median, 39.9 percent of them finished by 1990. The median house dates to 1993 and four in ten predate 1990, frame with vinyl and brick veneer over vented crawl spaces, so a loss ends under the floor and the wet material is the batt insulation, the panel subfloor and the joists.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 47.09 inches, 4.66 of them in September, against a warm season that peaks at 78.3 degrees in July; rain recorded at LAUREL 0.8 N 1.8 miles away and temperatures at ASHLAND HANOVER CO MUNI AP 4 miles away. September is the wettest month at 4.66 inches out of 47.09 for the year, with three months below freezing and January lows near 28 degrees, so the heaviest rain arrives at the end of a long humid season.
How water losses tend to end in Glen Allen
- Vented crawl spaces running humid from spring through autumn before any loss occurs
- Batt insulation between joists sagging wet and holding water against the panel
- A short freeze that is still long enough to split lines in the crawl space
