Why a Florida building stays wet: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.
How long a Auburndale wall stays wet
Water in a ceiling, wall or slab anywhere in Auburndale is one call away from a local restoration pro. Beside Lake Ariana, a public lake of 1,019 acres with a mean depth of 12 feet, Auburndale stands about 158 feet above sea level.
The structures themselves
Built around a median year of 1990, about half of the housing (50.2 percent) in Auburndale is older than 1990, so much of it was fitted for cooling the way builders of the early 1990s went about it. Where the copper refrigerant lines of a house from around 1990 pass through its outside wall to reach the air handler, an unsealed gap around them lets outdoor air into the wall cavity, and the cold suction line sweats there, behind the drywall, every afternoon the cooling runs.
Weather behind the risk
The normal dewpoint in Auburndale stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock in July and August, reaching 75.6 in August; June is the wettest month, with 8.43 of 53.08 inches, rain recorded at AUBURNDALE 1.7 NW 1.8 miles away and dewpoint 36.4 miles away. Where a lot falls toward Lake Ariana, the June downpours that land on the street and the yards above run down across it toward the shore, and the house standing in their way meets that water at its uphill wall before the lake ever receives it.
What to check in Auburndale
- Refrigerant lines entering the outside walls of houses from around 1990, where an unsealed gap lets humid air reach the cold suction line inside the wall cavity
- Lots that fall toward Lake Ariana, where runoff from the streets above crosses the yard and gathers against the uphill wall and slab edge of the house
- Lake-facing sliders and picture windows, where air coming off more than a thousand acres of open water meets glass cooled from the room side and runs down onto the sills

Frequently asked questions
What leaves a damp stain low on an Auburndale wall where the cooling lines come in?
Usually the gap around the lines themselves. Where the copper refrigerant lines of a house from around 1990 pass through the outside wall, the opening is often wider than the pipes and was never sealed. Outdoor air drifts into the wall cavity through it, meets the cold suction line, and condenses. Sealing the opening outside and checking the line's foam sleeve inside the wall ends it.
How does a June storm reach a house on a lot sloping toward Lake Ariana?
From uphill. Lake Ariana covers 1,019 acres, and rain on the higher streets and yards runs down toward its shore. A house standing between the street and the lake sits in that path, so its uphill wall, the slab edge on that side and any door facing the street take the water first. A swale that carries it around the house helps most.
Why do the lake-facing windows of an Auburndale house drip on summer mornings?
Because the glass is colder than the air outside it. A house that looks over Lake Ariana takes its morning air straight off the water, and where single-pane or older glass is cooled from the room side, that air condenses on the outer face and runs down to the sill. Wet sills and lifting paint below those windows show where it has been collecting.
