What drying runs into in Groveton
Serving Groveton and the surrounding area, including Mount Vernon Woods, Sequoyah, Newton Woods, Valley View, Gum Springs, North Hill, Sunnyview, Groveton Heights.
Local housing stock
The typical Groveton house dates to 1976, with about three quarters of the stock (77.7 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1970s work. Around a median of 1976 with over three quarters predating 1990, the common building is a three-level townhouse with an open carpeted stair running the full height, so water from any upper floor finds the stairwell and soaks the treads, the stringers and the pad on every flight on its way down.
Climate & seasonal risk
3 months in Groveton have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 27.4 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in June at 5.17 inches of an annual 47.17; rain recorded at ALEXANDRIA 5.6 SSW 1.6 miles away and temperatures at OXON HILL 6.8 miles away. June is the wettest month and three months average a freezing low, so the year has a warm wet middle and a short winter; the heating season is when these buildings dry fastest, and a June loss in a closed and cooled townhouse is the one that takes the longest.
How water losses tend to end in Groveton
- Open carpeted stairs connecting three levels, so water from an upper floor soaks treads, stringers and pad on every flight
- Closed stringers with no access from below, so the wet framing inside the stair cannot be reached without opening the soffit
- Narrow three-level plans with one stairwell, so drying equipment has to be placed in the only route through the building
