Where water lingers in Belle Glade

Across Belle Glade, a building still wet days after a leak is one phone call from a local pro. About one Belle Glade home in eight is manufactured, its floor and ductwork raised over ground barely 11 feet above sea level.

Age of the homes

1979 is the median build year in Belle Glade, and 66.7 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. About one home in eight here is manufactured, and beneath each one the supply ducts inside the belly wrap ride a short gap above flat ground the summer rain leaves soaked, so the cooled ducts sit in the dampest air on the lot and what condenses on them gathers in the wrap.

Rain and humidity

Belle Glade spends four months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, from June through September; of 55.22 inches in a normal year, 9.49 fall in June, rain recorded at BELLE GLADE 0.3 miles away and dewpoint 35 miles away. Nearly 40 miles inland and only about 11 feet above sea level, the town's flat ground has little slope to carry the June downpours away, so water lingers beneath raised floors and against slab edges for days after the rain itself has stopped.

Leaks that go unseen here

  • Manufactured homes, about one in eight, where cooled supply ducts in the belly run a short gap above wet ground and collect condensation in the wrap
  • Flat, low ground about 11 feet above sea level that holds the summer's rain beneath raised homes, keeping the air under the floor saturated long after a storm
  • Skirting with closed or blocked vents, which traps the damp air rising off soaked ground against the underside of a cooled floor
  • Slab houses from the 1970s on the same flat ground, where rain pooling against the foundation keeps the bottom of the walls wet

Frequently asked questions

Why is the belly wrap sagging under a Belle Glade manufactured home after the rainy months?

About one home in eight in Belle Glade is manufactured, with its supply ducts running inside the belly wrap under the floor. Those ducts carry cooled air, and the ground a short way below stays wet through the summer, so water condenses on them and collects in the wrap until it hangs. Feeling for low, heavy spots and checking the duct joints above them shows where it is gathering.

Why does the ground under a Belle Glade home stay wet so long after a storm?

The town lies nearly 40 miles inland and only about 11 feet above sea level, on ground so flat that a downpour has little slope to run off on. Rain that falls in June and July tends to stay where it lands, under raised floors and along foundations. Clear vents in the skirting let that damp air move instead of resting against the underside of the floor.

What does standing rainwater do to a slab house in Belle Glade?

Where a house sits on a slab on this flat, low ground, rain can pool against the foundation for days. Concrete and block draw that water in and pass it upward, so the bottom few inches of the walls, the baseboards and the carpet tack strip along exterior walls are where it shows. Grading or a gutter outlet that moves water away from the slab edge keeps it from collecting there.
