Moisture load in Apollo Beach

Water in a ceiling, wall or slab in Apollo Beach, from North Ruskin and Apollo Key Village across town, is one call away from a local restoration pro. Half of Apollo Beach's homes went up in 2010 or later, on ground that stands only about four feet above sea level.

When these homes went up

About 2,952 of the 12,819 homes in Apollo Beach were finished before 1990, around a median of 2010; a home's age can show in where its condensate drains and what its floor sits on. Where a house here is of recent build and sealed tight against the outdoor air, the water from showers, cooking and the household itself has few ways out except the bath and kitchen fans, and whatever they do not carry outdoors settles on the coolest walls and inside the closets.

When the air turns heavy

August is the wettest month in Apollo Beach, with 11.56 of 55.4 inches, and it falls inside the stretch, in July and August, when the normal dewpoint holds at 70 or above, peaking at 75.2 in August; rain recorded at APOLLO BEACH 2.7 ENE 2.7 miles away and dewpoint 16.1 miles away. On a lot only about 4 feet above sea level, rain has almost no fall to run toward, so when August's downpours come close together the water waits in the yard and the swales, against the slab edge and the garage door, until the ground can take it.

What holds water in Apollo Beach

  • Tightly built houses of recent years, where the water from showers and cooking stays indoors unless the bath and kitchen fans carry it outside
  • Lots about 4 feet above sea level, where August rain has little fall to drain toward and stands against slab edges and garage doors
  • Kitchen range hoods in newer houses that filter the air and return it to the room rather than venting it outdoors, keeping the steam from cooking in the house

Frequently asked questions

Why does a newer Apollo Beach house feel damp when the cooling is working?

A house built in recent years is often sealed tightly against the outdoor air, which keeps the summer humidity out but also keeps in the water a household makes: showers, cooking, laundry and breathing. Unless the bath and kitchen fans carry it outdoors, that water stays in the rooms and settles on the coolest surfaces, such as closet walls and the backs of furniture. Running the bath fan for a while after each shower helps.

Where does rain go on an Apollo Beach lot so close to sea level?

Apollo Beach stands about 4 feet above sea level, so a lot has very little fall for rain to run toward. In August, when downpours come close together, water can stand in the yard, in the swales and against the slab edge before the ground takes it in. Checking that downspouts empty well away from the house, and that the yard slopes away from the walls, keeps that water off them.

Does the kitchen range hood matter for damp in an Apollo Beach house?

It can. Some range hoods pass the air through a filter and send it back into the kitchen instead of venting it outdoors, so the steam from cooking stays in the house. In a tightly built newer home, that water adds to what the cooling system has to remove and ends up on the coolest surfaces nearby. A hood that vents outside, run while cooking, sends that water out of the house.
