What drying runs into in Hampton
Serving Hampton and the surrounding area, including Buckroe Gardens, Buckroe Beach, Bloxoms Corner, Chesapeake Heights, Clarkdale, East Hampton, Edgewater, Fox Hill.
Local housing stock
Only 28.3 percent of Hampton's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1974 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1974 with seven in ten homes predating 1990, the houses are brick and frame over crawl spaces on very low ground, so the space under the floor is barely below the level of the yard outside and anything pumped out of it runs straight back unless it is carried a long way.
Climate & seasonal risk
No month in Hampton has a normal low below freezing, and January is the coolest at 32.1 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in July at 5.33 inches of an annual 47.83; both figures recorded at LANGLEY AFB, 3.8 miles away. July is the wettest month and no month averages a freezing low, so the ground stays warm and wet through the heaviest part of the year; a crawl space at yard level in that season is at the same water table as everything around it and will not drain by gravity at all.
How water losses tend to end in Hampton
- Crawl space floors level with the surrounding yard, so extracted water has no gravity route away and has to be carried or piped a long distance
- Ground water at the same level as the crawl, so the space refills from below while it is being pumped
- Insulation and ducting under the floor sitting close to that ground, so the material most affected is the least accessible
