What drying runs into in Beckley
Serving Beckley and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Roughly 7,591 of Beckley's 8,628 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1960; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1960 with nearly nine in ten houses older, the stock is set into hillsides rather than on level ground, and the lowest floor is dug in on three sides; only one face of it reaches daylight, so everything about a loss down there is reached from inside.
Climate & seasonal risk
A normal year here delivers 43.36 inches, 5.36 of them in July, against a warm season that peaks at 68.6 degrees in July; both figures recorded at BECKLEY VA HOSPITAL, 1.9 miles away. July is the wettest month at over five inches of a forty-three inch year, five months average a low below freezing, and the warm season only reaches the high seventies; there is no hot season to dry into, so a below-grade level here is worked in a mild, damp building for most of the year.
How water losses tend to end in Beckley
- A lowest floor dug into the slope on three sides, so there is no exterior face to open and no cross ventilation at all
- Masonry in contact with hillside ground on those three sides, so the wall is damp from outside independently of the loss
- A warm season that never gets hot, so there is no part of the year when the building itself does much of the drying
