What fails in Milton
Serving Milton and the surrounding area, including Whiting Pines Housing Community.
Local housing stock
1987 is the median build year in Milton, and 55.1 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. Rain that gets past the siding of a late-1980s house sheathed in fiberboard soaks into that soft board, which holds it against the framing, and with the cooled rooms on the other side, the board stays damp through the summer.
Climate & seasonal risk
The air over Milton carries the most water in July, when the normal dewpoint reaches 74.5 degrees, and in July and August it does not drop below 70 even overnight; July brings 7.61 of the 66.39 inches a year, rain recorded at WHITING FIELD NAS SOUTH 5.4 miles away and dewpoint 13.2 miles away. The city's center stands about 62 feet above sea level, and where a lot falls toward the Blackwater River, the rain from a July storm on the streets above runs down across it, past the uphill wall and slab edge of the house on its way.
What keeps buildings wet here
- Fiberboard sheathing behind the siding of late-1980s houses, which soaks up rain that gets past the siding and holds it against the framing
- Air handlers of that era set in the garage on a framed stand that doubles as the return, pulling hot, damp garage air in through its gaps
- Lots that fall toward the Blackwater River, where runoff from higher streets crosses the yard and passes the uphill wall of the house
