Why a Florida building stays wet: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.
What keeps Boynton Beach buildings wet
Water in a ceiling, wall or slab in Boynton Beach, from Dos Lagos, Ridgewood, and Boynton Hills across town, is one call away from a local restoration pro. The C-16 canal crosses Boynton Beach from west to east, carrying fresh water from the inland canals out to the Intracoastal Waterway.
The age of the buildings
1984 is the median build year in Boynton Beach, and 64 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. Close to three in ten Boynton Beach homes are in buildings of ten or more units, where a water heater, washer or air handler set against a shared wall can soak through to the neighbor's side, and the stain there is often the first sign.
The humid season
From June through September, any surface in a Boynton Beach building cooler than 70 degrees, a supply duct or a cold water line, sits below the normal outdoor dewpoint at every hour; 68.34 inches fall in a normal year, 9.59 of them in June, rain recorded at SUN VALLEY 0.8 SW 4 miles away and dewpoint 10.9 miles away. Roadways and parking areas in the city drain into the Intracoastal Waterway, and its coastal plan calls for tidal backflow preventers on them: without one, a wet-season high tide can run up the pipes and meet the rain coming down.
Where water settles in Boynton Beach
- Homes backing onto the C-16 canal, where the wet season's runoff from the inland canals passes their seawalls and yards on its way to the Intracoastal
- Street drains that empty into the Intracoastal, where a high tide pushing up the pipes keeps a downpour from leaving the road and the lowest driveways
- Buildings of ten or more units, close to three in ten of the city's homes, where an appliance leaking against a shared wall wets the unit next door first

Frequently asked questions
Why does water come up through a Boynton Beach street drain at high tide?
Many of the city's roadways and parking areas drain into the Intracoastal Waterway. When the tide is high, water can run back up those pipes, and a heavy rain arriving at the same moment has nowhere to go, so it gathers in the street and at the lowest driveways. The city's coastal plan calls for tidal backflow preventers as part of its stormwater upgrades.
What does the C-16 canal mean for homes that back onto it?
The C-16 crosses the city from west to east, carrying fresh water from the inland canals to the Intracoastal Waterway, and the regional water management district is responsible for dredging it. A home on its bank sits beside water gathered from well inland, so the seawall, the slope of the yard toward the canal and any door at yard level are what to check after a long rain.
How does a leak in a Boynton Beach condo reach the unit next door?
Close to three in ten Boynton Beach homes are in buildings of ten or more units. A water heater, washer or air handler set against a shared wall can leak into the wall cavity and soak through to the neighbor's side, where the stain often appears first. Telling building management which wall is wet, and on which side, helps find the unit the water came from.
