Emergency Water Extraction

Surge and tidal water rise from the ground up and carry salt and silt with them. Anything porous they soaked is treated as contaminated.

Wind-Driven Rain Intrusion

AC Condensate & Drain Line Leaks
An air conditioner makes water every day it runs. When its drain clogs or its pan cracks, that water goes into the ceiling or the slab.

What fails in Belle Glade
Serving Belle Glade and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
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.
Climate & seasonal risk
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.
What keeps buildings wet 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
