Local conditions in Melba
Serving Melba and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
The median home in Melba dates to 1978, and 57.5 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Farmhouses and ranch-style homes on crawl spaces and basements, a median year of 1978, and close to three fifths of the stock standing before 1990.
Climate & seasonal risk
The nearest long-term record — KUNA 1.5 SSE, 9.3 miles out — puts the annual normal at 11.79 inches, with May heaviest at 1.62. May leads at 1.62 inches of an 11.79 inch year, but rain is not what wets the ground here. This is irrigated desert, and from April to October the canals and flood-irrigated fields around town raise the shallow water table by several feet, so a crawl space or basement that is dry in March can have water in it by July without a cloud in the sky.
Common moisture and mold problems in Melba
- Flood irrigation on surrounding fields raising the water table under town by several feet every summer
- Basements dug into ground that is dry in March and saturated by July from canal seepage
- Lava rock a few feet down holding irrigation water in the soil above it with nowhere to drain
- Hard freezes cracking foundation walls that then take spring canal water at the crack
