Why a Florida building stays wet: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.

What keeps Aripeka buildings wet

Water in a ceiling, wall or slab anywhere in Aripeka is one call away from a local restoration pro. Aripeka's center lies about six-tenths of a mile from the open Gulf, near enough for onshore wind to leave salt on walls and screens.

The age of the buildings

Built around a median year of 1969, close to nine in ten of the housing (91.1 percent) in Aripeka is older than 1990, so much of it was fitted for cooling the way builders of the late 1960s went about it. A number of the homes here are manufactured, and where an older one sits low on its piers, little air moves in the gap between its cooled floor and ground standing under 3 feet above sea level, so the belly rests in the dampest air on the lot.

The humid season

The normal dewpoint in Aripeka stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock in July and August, reaching 75.2 in August; July is the wettest month, with 9.58 of 56.51 inches, rain recorded 6.1 miles away and dewpoint 33.2 miles away. Onshore wind off the Gulf lays salt on screens, skirting and window frames through July, the wettest month, and on ground this low the rain that follows has almost nowhere to run, so the salted surfaces at the foot of each home stay wet from one storm to the next.

Where water settles in Aripeka

  • Older manufactured homes set low on their piers, where the cooled belly hangs close to ground less than 3 feet above sea level, in air that barely moves
  • Salt carried from the Gulf, about six-tenths of a mile away, settling on skirting, screens and window frames and holding moisture at the base of the walls
  • Bathrooms in older houses built without an exhaust fan, where each shower's steam stays in the room and settles on the outside wall and the ceiling

Frequently asked questions

Why does the air under a low-set Aripeka manufactured home stay so wet?

Some of Aripeka's homes are manufactured, and where an older one sits low on its piers, there is little room for air to move between the floor and the ground. That ground stands less than 3 feet above sea level and stays wet through the summer, and the cooled belly just above it gathers the water the still air gives up. Clear vents in the skirting let that air move.

Why do the screens and skirting of an Aripeka home stay damp after a windy day?

Aripeka's center lies about six-tenths of a mile from the open Gulf, and onshore wind carries salt that settles on screens, skirting and window frames. Salt draws water out of humid air, so those surfaces stay damp long after the wind drops, and the skirting holds that damp beside the space beneath the floor. Rinsing them with fresh water after a windy spell removes the salt.

Where does the steam go in an older Aripeka bathroom with no fan?

Where an older house was built without a bathroom exhaust fan, each shower's steam has only the room to settle in. It condenses on the coolest surfaces, the outside wall, the ceiling and the back of the door, and the cooling then has to pull it out of the whole house. A fan ducted outdoors, left running for a while after each shower, carries it away instead.
