Moisture load in Avon Park

Water in a ceiling, wall or slab in Avon Park, from Whispering Pines and Cornell Colony across town, is one call away from a local restoration pro. Of Avon Park's 5,600 or so homes, roughly 820 are manufactured, their ducts and drain lines hung under the floor in the open air.

When these homes went up

The median home in Avon Park was built in 1980, with 80.4 percent standing before 1990; when a house went up tends to decide where its air handler sits and how far its ducts run through attic heat. Close to one structure in seven here is a manufactured home, and in one whose air handler's drain line drops through the floor and runs inside the belly wrap before it reaches open air, a sag in that line holds water, and a joint that works loose empties the cooling's daily output into the insulation.

When the air turns heavy

The air over Avon Park carries the most water in August, when the normal dewpoint reaches 75.6 degrees, and in July and August it does not drop below 70 even overnight; June brings 9.24 of the 52.68 inches a year, rain recorded at AVON PARK 2 W 1.2 miles away and dewpoint 59.4 miles away. With its center some 143 feet above sea level and nearly 57 miles from the open coast, the town meets June's storms with no tide behind them, so a patch of ground beneath a home that stays dark on a dry afternoon, after the yard around it has paled, points to water arriving from the home above rather than from the sky.

What holds water in Avon Park

  • Condensate lines run through the floor and inside the belly wrap of manufactured homes, close to one structure in seven, where a sag holds water and a loose joint empties it into the insulation
  • Floor insulation that has slipped down onto the belly wrap, leaving the underside of the cooled floor decking bare to the damp air beneath
  • Wet patches of ground under a home that outlast the yard around them, the trace of a leak above on ground some 143 feet up and far from any tide

Frequently asked questions

What does a damp spot on the ground under an Avon Park manufactured home tell an owner?

Where the rest of the yard has dried after a June storm but one patch under the home stays dark, the water is usually coming from the home itself: a condensate line, a supply fitting or a drain joint above that spot. Avon Park stands some 143 feet above sea level, beyond any tide, so looking straight up from the wet patch is the quickest way to the leak.

How does the cooling's water leak inside the belly of an older Avon Park manufactured home?

Close to one Avon Park structure in seven is a manufactured home. In some, the air handler's drain line drops through the floor and runs inside the belly wrap before it reaches open air. Over the years that line can sag and hold water, and a joint can work loose, so the cooling's daily water soaks the insulation where nobody sees it. A heavy, low spot in the wrap marks it.

What happens when the floor insulation falls under an Avon Park manufactured home?

Batts of insulation fastened beneath the floor sometimes slip and lie loose on the belly wrap. The floor decking above is then bare on its underside, and with the rooms cooled, that wood runs colder than the summer air moving under the home, so water condenses on it and soaks in. Soft spots in the floor near outside walls, or insulation lying loose in the wrap, are the signs.
