Local conditions in Harbison Canyon
Serving Harbison Canyon and the surrounding area, including La Cresta, Glen Oaks, Suncrest.
Local housing stock
Roughly two thirds of the housing here predates 1990 — 62.1 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1983. Wood-frame and stucco houses on slabs and shallow crawl spaces stepped into steep canyon lots, many rebuilt or re-roofed after fire swept the drainage.
Climate & seasonal risk
February alone accounts for 22.7 percent of the 16.05 inches this area sees in an average year, on 1991–2020 normals recorded 3.6 miles away at ALPINE. February leads at 3.65 inches of a 16.05 inch year, which means the wet season is a handful of Pacific storms dropping onto slopes that have been bone dry since April. After fire, the chaparral no longer holds those storms; water sheets off the denuded canyon walls, picks up ash and sediment, and arrives at the downhill slab in a single pulse.
Common moisture and mold problems in Harbison Canyon
- Fire-stripped canyon slopes shedding a February storm as a sheet of ash and water onto downhill slabs
- Steep lots with the uphill wall buried in cut and the downhill wall taking the entire runoff of the slope
- Shallow crawl spaces on canyon fill that settles after each wet season and opens a gap at the sill
- Stucco without a real weep, so the one wet month drives moisture behind the coating and leaves it there until summer
