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

What keeps Bradenton buildings wet

Water in a ceiling, wall or slab in Bradenton, from Cedar Hammock across town, is one call away from a local restoration pro. Rain entering a Bradenton storm drain travels through the city's storm sewer, untreated, to the Manatee River, then Tampa Bay and the Gulf.

The age of the buildings

Built around a median year of 1983, roughly two thirds of the housing (65.4 percent) in Bradenton is older than 1990, so much of it was fitted for cooling the way builders of the early 1980s went about it. Framed apartment buildings of the early 1980s, in a city where more than a quarter of the homes share buildings of ten or more units, can run an upper unit's supply ducts through the cavity between floors, and outdoor air reaching that cavity at its edge meets the cold metal and drops its water onto the ceiling below.

The humid season

The normal dewpoint in Bradenton stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock from July through September, reaching 76.1 in August; August is the wettest month, with 10.07 of 56.28 inches, rain recorded at BRADENTON 5 ESE 5.5 miles away and dewpoint 29.9 miles away. In August the storm drains along each street carry the city's rain toward the Manatee River, and where an apartment complex sends its parking lot to a single catch basin at the low corner, leaves and clippings washed into the grate hold the downpour against the nearest ground-floor slab until the pipe clears.

Where water settles in Bradenton

  • Supply ducts for upper units run through the framed cavity between floors in buildings of ten or more units, where outdoor air at the cavity's edge condenses on the cold metal above a neighbor's ceiling
  • Parking lots that drain to one catch basin at the low corner of a complex, where a clogged grate holds August's runoff against ground-floor slabs
  • Condensate lines from rows of apartments that empty onto the same strip of ground beside a building, keeping that soil wet through every cooling day
  • Units held for seasonal use, about one home in eleven, closed through August with the cooling set high while the ducts between floors keep running for the neighbors

Frequently asked questions

What puts a stain on a downstairs Bradenton apartment ceiling when the unit above has no leak?

Look at the ducts between the floors. More than a quarter of Bradenton homes are in buildings of ten or more units, and in a framed building of the early 1980s the upper unit's supply ducts may run through the cavity between the two floors. Where outdoor air reaches that cavity at its edge, it condenses on the cold metal, and the water lands on the ceiling below.

How does rain leave a Bradenton street?

Into the storm drains along the curb and through the city's storm sewer system, untreated, to the Manatee River and on to Tampa Bay and the Gulf. That only works while each drain stays open. Where a complex's parking lot slopes to one catch basin, leaves and grass clippings in its grate can hold an August downpour against the closest ground-floor door.

Can the condensate lines of a Bradenton apartment building keep the ground wet?

They can. Each unit's air handler sends the water it pulls from the air out through a small line, and in many complexes those lines end side by side against the building. Every cooling day they wet the same strip of soil, and through August it never dries, so the slab edge and the bottom of the wall beside it stay damp. Carrying the lines farther out spreads that water.
