Local housing stock
The median home in Dothan dates to 1982, and 61.8 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Three fifths of the housing predates 1990, mostly single-story on crawl spaces and slabs over sandy Coastal Plain soil. Sand drains readily for most of the year, which means drainage problems here develop quietly and are usually discovered well after the event that started them.
Climate & seasonal risk
Dothan averages 57.63 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at DOTHAN 3.5 miles away, with July the wettest month at 6.22 inches. July brings the heaviest rain as intense convective storms on ground that normally accepts it. What changes the outcome is a run of wet weeks: once the profile fills, the same sand that drained yesterday's storm delivers today's to a crawl space from below.
Common water damage problems in Dothan
- Sand that drains well ordinarily, so problems surface long after they begin
- A profile that fills through wet spells and then delivers water from below
- Intense July cells arriving on ground with no remaining capacity
- Crawl spaces where damage develops slowly and invisibly from underneath
