Where water lingers in Atlantic Beach

From an air handler dripping into a ceiling to a slab that stays damp, one call anywhere in Atlantic Beach connects you with a local pro working the area. Atlantic Beach reaches from more than two miles of ocean beach to some 400 acres of preserved marsh on the Intracoastal Waterway.

Age of the homes

1986 is the median build year in Atlantic Beach, and 57.5 percent of the stock went up before 1990, an age that tends to settle whether the ductwork runs overhead through the attic or below the floor. The city's center lies right on the open coast, and where a house draws outdoor air into a vented attic, the salt that air carries settles on the underside of the roof deck and on the duct jackets, where it pulls water out of every humid night.

Rain and humidity

The normal dewpoint in Atlantic Beach stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock in July and August, reaching 73.9 in August; August is the wettest month, with 7.54 of 52.44 inches, rain recorded 3.6 miles away and dewpoint 17.7 miles away. West of the houses, the tidal channels of River Branch Preserve thread some 350 acres of marsh beside the Intracoastal, so through August a wall on either side of town meets air that has just crossed open water.

Leaks that go unseen here

  • Vented attics drawing salt-laden air off the ocean, which leaves salt on the roof sheathing, nail tips and duct jackets, where it holds water out of the humid night air
  • Ocean-facing walls and window frames on the beach side of town, where spray carried on the onshore wind dries to a crust that stays damp long after the wind drops
  • Homes along the western edge near the tidal marsh of the Intracoastal, where the air crossing the back yard comes straight off marsh water
  • Streets served by some 14.4 miles of ditches and 930 catch basins, where a basin choked with sand or leaves sends a downpour across the driveway instead

Frequently asked questions

How do salt spray and rain differ for an Atlantic Beach house so close to the ocean?

Rain runs off and the surface dries once the sun returns. Spray is different: Atlantic Beach's center lies right on the open coast, and onshore wind leaves salt on walls, screens and window frames. That salt draws water from humid air and holds it, so the surface stays damp between storms. A rinse with fresh water after a windy spell takes the salt away.

Can salt reach the inside of an Atlantic Beach attic?

Where the attic is vented to outdoor air, yes. Each breath of sea air drawn in through the soffits carries salt, which settles on the underside of the roof deck, on nail tips and on the jackets of the ducts. Salted surfaces take water from the humid night air, so dark spots or rust at the nail tips are worth a look.

What lies along the western side of Atlantic Beach?

Marsh. The city holds some 400 acres of marshland on the Intracoastal Waterway in its Dutton Island and Tide Views preserve, and River Branch Preserve adds about 350 acres of marshes and tidal channels. Homes near that edge take air that has come straight off the water, so screened porches and the backs of houses facing the marsh dry slowly after a summer storm.
