Damp buildings in Goodland

From an air handler dripping into a ceiling to a slab that stays damp, one call anywhere in Goodland connects you with a local pro working the area. Most Goodland homes are manufactured, a good number held for seasonal use, on ground only about 6 feet above sea level.

What the homes date from

Built around a median year of 1982, about three quarters of the housing (77.7 percent) in Goodland is older than 1990, so much of it was fitted for cooling the way builders of the early 1980s went about it. Most of the homes are manufactured, and where one is set high on tall piers, the wind sweeps freely beneath it, carrying rain and salt onto the belly wrap and the steel frame, so the cooled ducts inside the wrap sit in wet, salty air.

The months that matter

The normal dewpoint in Goodland stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock from July through September, reaching 75.5 in August; September is the wettest month, with 9.92 of 53.3 inches, rain recorded at MARCO IS 4.4 miles away and dewpoint 42.7 miles away. On ground only about 6 feet above sea level, the wet season's water table sits close beneath the soil under each home, and where a manufactured home closed for the summer has carpet over its floor decking, the damp rising from beneath works into the pad with no cooling running to pull it back out.

The usual sources here

  • Manufactured homes set high on tall piers, where wind drives rain and salt under the floor onto the belly wrap and the steel frame
  • Carpet and pad laid over the floor decking of manufactured homes closed for the season, taking in the damp rising from below with no cooling running
  • Low ground about 6 feet above sea level, where the September water table stands close beneath the soil under each home

Frequently asked questions

Why is the belly wrap salty and wet under a raised Goodland manufactured home?

Because the wind reaches it. Most Goodland homes are manufactured, and where one stands high on tall piers, nothing slows the air moving beneath the floor. Onshore wind carries rain and salt under the home and lays both on the wrap and the steel frame. The salt holds water from the humid air, so the wrap stays damp long after the rain stops, right against the cooled ducts inside it.

What happens to the carpet in a Goodland manufactured home closed for the summer?

Where the cooling is left off, the air inside comes to match the outdoor air, and the damp from the ground beneath rises through the floor decking. Carpet and pad laid over that decking take up the water and hold it against the wood. A good number of Goodland homes are held for seasonal use, and in those the pad can stay damp from June until the house is opened again.

How close is the ground under a Goodland home to the wet season's water?

Close. Goodland stands only about 6 feet above sea level, so in the wet season the water table sits close beneath the soil under each home. After a September downpour the ground beneath stays wet, and the air trapped inside the skirting carries that water up to the belly wrap and the floor, where it settles on anything cooler than the air.
