What fails in Fort Meade
Serving Fort Meade and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
1978 is the median build year in Fort Meade, and 69.1 percent of the stock went up before 1990, an age that tends to settle whether the ductwork runs overhead through the attic or below the floor. About a quarter of the homes here are manufactured, and where an older one is cooled by a window unit, the water the unit wrings from the room's air drips off its outer edge onto the siding and the skirting below, keeping one stretch of wall and ground wet through every day the cooling runs.
Climate & seasonal risk
Fort Meade spends two months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, in July and August; of 52.07 inches in a normal year, 8.6 fall in June, rain recorded 5.8 miles away and dewpoint 46.9 miles away. The strip of ground at the base of a home's walls takes the downpours of June, the wettest month, and wherever a window unit hangs above it, a steady drip from the cooling as well, so that soil and the skirting beside it never dry out between storms.
What keeps buildings wet here
- Window cooling units on older manufactured homes, dripping the water they pull from the air down the siding and onto the skirting beneath
- Ground under the drip line of a window unit, kept wet through June so the air beneath that end of the home stays damp
- Window units tilted toward the room instead of away from it, which send their water down the inside face of the wall instead of outdoors
