Why a Florida building stays wet: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.

Where water lingers in Bowling Green

Across Bowling Green, a building still wet days after a leak is one phone call from a local pro. A good share of Bowling Green's homes are manufactured, each floor set on piers over open air, on ground some 115 feet up.

Age of the homes

1978 is the median build year in Bowling Green, and 66.1 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. Many of the homes here are manufactured, and where cooling was added to an older one after it was set, the cold refrigerant line often runs beneath the floor to the air handler, sweating into the belly wrap through every summer afternoon.

Rain and humidity

The air over Bowling Green carries the most water in August, when the normal dewpoint reaches 75.2 degrees, and in July and August it does not drop below 70 even overnight; June brings 8.46 of the 52 inches a year, rain recorded at WAUCHULA 6.4 miles away and dewpoint 49.1 miles away. Some 115 feet above sea level, the town lies far beyond any tide, so June's storms reach a manufactured home from above, and where a wooden deck has been built level with the door sill, the rain off its boards gathers right at the bottom of the door.

Leaks that go unseen here

  • Refrigerant lines run beneath the floors of manufactured homes that had cooling added later, where a line with split or missing insulation sweats into the belly
  • Wooden decks and landings built level with a manufactured home's door sill, which shed their rain toward the door and the floor edge behind it
  • The rim of the floor beneath an outside door, where water from the deck soaks in at the joint and the cooled floor keeps it from drying

Frequently asked questions

Why is the belly wrap wet under one spot of an older Bowling Green manufactured home?

Look for the refrigerant line. Where cooling was added to an older manufactured home after it was set, the cold line from the outdoor unit often runs beneath the floor to the air handler. If its insulation has split or slipped, the bare pipe sweats in the summer air and drips onto the belly wrap, usually in a line that follows the pipe's route.

Can a deck built at the door make a Bowling Green manufactured home wet?

It can. Many of the homes in Bowling Green are manufactured, and a wooden deck or landing is often built level with the door sill for an easy step. Rain falling on the deck runs across the boards toward the door, soaks into the joint, and reaches the edge of the floor, where the cooled room above keeps it from drying out quickly.

Is a Bowling Green home high enough to stay clear of rising water?

Of the sea, yes: the town stands some 115 feet above sea level, beyond any tide. Water in a home here comes from the rain, the yard and the cooling system instead. A deck that sheds toward the door, a sweating refrigerant line under the floor or a blocked condensate drain is the place to start looking.
