Where water lingers in Callahan

From an air handler dripping into a ceiling to a slab that stays damp, one call anywhere in Callahan connects you with a local pro working the area. Most of Callahan's homes went up after 1990, and the 22 with septic systems on record send their wastewater into their own yards.

Age of the homes

Since 1990, Callahan has added 71.5 percent of the homes it has now, though the median still dates to 2003; builders of each era set the ducts and the cold surfaces where they remain. Flexible duct in the attic of a house built since 1990 can sag between its straps, and where a run dips into a low loop the coldest air settles there, so through the humid months its jacket sweats at the bottom of the dip and drips onto the ceiling below.

Rain and humidity

The normal dewpoint in Callahan stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock in July and August, reaching 75 in August; June is the wettest month, with 7.6 of 53.4 inches, both figures recorded 9.6 miles away. A run of summer storms soaks the mulch and soil beds heaped against a newer Callahan house's slab, on ground about 17 feet above sea level, and they hold that water against the joint where the wall meets the concrete long after the lawn beside them has drained.

Leaks that go unseen here

  • Flexible attic ducts in houses built since 1990, sagging between their straps so the coldest air pools in a low loop whose jacket sweats onto the ceiling
  • Mulch and soil beds heaped up against slab edges, holding summer rain against the base of the wall where it meets the concrete
  • Yards holding a drain field at the 22 homes with septic systems on record, where a stormy week fills the trenches before the household's water reaches them

Frequently asked questions

What puts a round stain on the ceiling under the attic ducts of a newer Callahan house?

Usually a sagging duct. Most Callahan homes were built after 1990, and many carry their cooled air through flexible duct in the attic. Where a run has slipped between its straps and hangs in a low loop, the coldest air settles in the dip, the outer jacket there runs colder than the attic air, and water drips from it onto the drywall. Strapping the run straight again ends it.

Is it a problem to pile mulch against the foundation of a Callahan house?

It can be. A mulch or soil bed built up against the slab soaks up every summer storm and holds that water right at the joint where the wall sits on the concrete. Callahan stands about 17 feet above sea level, and a bed kept a few inches below the top of the slab, sloping away from it, lets that joint dry between storms instead of staying wet.

How do summer storms affect a Callahan drain field?

They fill it first. Callahan has some 22 homes with septic systems on record, each sending its wastewater to trenches in its own yard. After a week of heavy summer rain those trenches already hold the storm's water, so the household's water has less room, drains slow, and the lowest fixture in the house is where a full field shows itself first.
