What drying runs into in Mechanicsville
Serving Mechanicsville and the surrounding area, including Meadow Gate, Hanover Grove, Bell Creek North, Brooks Hollow, Foxlair, Meredith Farms, Davis Place, Laurel Meadows.
Local housing stock
50.9 percent of Mechanicsville's housing was standing before 1990, around a median build year of 1990, and that era decides what a contractor finds once the drywall is off. Around a median of 1990 with about half the stock older, the plans put a large arched or fixed window above the entrance in a wall that runs the full height of the building, so there is a substantial glazed opening two stories up with no floor behind it and no access to it.
Climate & seasonal risk
Drying here is a July job at one pace and a January job at another, 78.3 degrees against 37.5; the 45.81 inches a year peak in August at 4.93, both figures recorded at ASHLAND HANOVER CO MUNI AP, 6.9 miles away. August is the wettest month at close to five inches of a forty-six inch year with three months averaging a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain arrives at the end of a humid season; a joint high on a wall in that stretch is sealing against warm driving rain with nothing behind it to catch what gets past.
How water losses tend to end in Mechanicsville
- A large opening high in a two-story wall, so a joint that fails is out of reach and out of sight
- No floor behind it, so water entering runs the full height of the wall before it reaches anything
- Damage appearing at the ground floor, so the source is two stories above where the problem shows
