Where water lingers in Belleair Beach

From an air handler dripping into a ceiling to a slab that stays damp, one call anywhere in Belleair Beach connects you with a local pro working the area. Belleair Beach holds the north end of Sand Key, a barrier island shared by eight towns, and stands about 4 feet above sea level.

Age of the homes

1976 is the median build year in Belleair Beach, and 74.8 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 a quarter of the homes are in buildings of ten or more units and close to a third are held for seasonal use, so a unit shut for the summer often shares a condensate riser with neighbors whose cooling runs daily, and a seeping joint in that riser wets the closed unit's wall where no running system dries the air.

Rain and humidity

The normal dewpoint in Belleair Beach stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock from July through September, reaching 76.1 in August; July is the wettest month, with 9.43 of 56.1 inches, rain recorded 6.7 miles away and dewpoint 9.2 miles away. On a barrier island only about 4 feet above sea level, a wet July leaves the sand beneath ground-floor slabs and parking levels close to saturated, while the Gulf wind lays salt on the balconies and sliding doors that face it.

Leaks that go unseen here

  • Shared condensate risers in buildings of ten or more units, where a seeping joint wets the wall of a unit closed for the season while the neighbors' cooling keeps the riser carrying water
  • Gulf-facing balconies and sliding doors, where salt left by the onshore wind holds moisture in tracks and frames and keeps the slab edge beneath them damp
  • Ground-floor slabs and parking levels on sand about 4 feet above sea level, where a wet July leaves the ground beneath close to saturated
  • Where a 1970s building is cooled by through-wall units, the metal sleeve chilled by each unit sweats into the wall cavity around it

Frequently asked questions

Why is the wall of a Belleair Beach condo damp when the unit has been shut since spring?

Close to a third of the homes here are held for seasonal use and about a quarter are in buildings of ten or more units. A closed unit often shares a condensate riser with neighbors whose cooling runs every day. If a joint on that riser seeps, the water soaks the closed unit's wall, and with its own system idle nothing pulls it back out. Building maintenance can say where the riser runs.

What does the Gulf wind leave in the track of a Belleair Beach balcony door?

Belleair Beach sits on Sand Key, a barrier island, about a third of a mile from the open Gulf at its center. Onshore wind leaves salt in the tracks and frames of balcony sliding doors and on the slab edge beneath them. Salt pulls water from humid air, so those tracks stay wet and the frame and slab stay damp. Rinsing the tracks with fresh water keeps them draining.

Why does a ground-floor unit on Sand Key feel damp underfoot after a wet July?

The island stands about 4 feet above sea level, so after weeks of July rain the sand under a ground-floor slab is close to saturated. Concrete passes that moisture upward, and carpet, pad or tight vinyl laid over it holds it at the surface, where the cooled room cannot take it away. Lifting a corner of the flooring along an outside wall shows whether the slab is wet.
