Damp buildings in Brooksville

Across Brooksville, a building still wet days after a leak is one phone call from a local pro. Roughly a quarter of Brooksville's homes are manufactured, which puts some 1,300 of the town's floors over open air instead of a slab.

What the homes date from

The median home in Brooksville was built in 1982, with 71.5 percent standing before 1990; when a house went up tends to decide where its air handler sits and how far its ducts run through attic heat. Under an older manufactured home, the cooled ducts and pipes are closed in by a fabric belly wrap, and every gap an animal has chewed or a repair has left open lets humid outdoor air reach them, so water forms on the duct jacket and soaks the insulation the wrap holds.

The months that matter

The air over Brooksville 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; July brings 9.41 of the 51.94 inches a year, rain recorded at BROOKSVILLE HERNANDO CO AP 4.2 miles away and dewpoint 39.2 miles away. Standing some 178 feet above sea level, Brooksville is far above any tide, and July's storms reach its older manufactured homes from above: where a home has almost no roof overhang, the rain runs straight down the wall and into the joints around the windows and along the siding's lower edge.

The usual sources here

  • Holes in the belly wrap of older manufactured homes, chewed by animals or left after repairs, that let humid outdoor air reach the cooled ducts and wet the insulation
  • Older manufactured homes built with almost no eaves, where July rain sheets straight down the walls into window joints and the bottom edge of the siding
  • Air handlers standing on a framed platform that doubles as the return, where an overflowing pan soaks the platform and the return then pulls damp air from it into every room

Frequently asked questions

What lets damp air reach the ducts under an older Brooksville manufactured home?

Openings in the belly wrap. The wrap is the fabric sheet that closes in the underside of the floor and holds the insulation around the cooled ducts. Where an animal has chewed through it, or an installer cut it and never sealed it, humid outdoor air flows in against those cold ducts. Water forms on the duct jacket, soaks the insulation and settles in the low spots of the wrap.

Why do the window corners of an older Brooksville manufactured home take in July rain?

Many older manufactured homes were built with little or no roof overhang. With nothing to throw the rain clear, a July downpour sheets straight down the wall and into the joints around each window and along the bottom edge of the siding. Brooksville stands some 178 feet above sea level, so its water comes from the sky, and in the humid weeks that follow the soaked joints stay wet.

How can an air handler platform in a Brooksville house make the rooms feel damp?

Where the air handler stands on a framed platform that also forms the return, the platform's wood and drywall sit right below the pan. When the pan overflows or its drain slows, that water soaks into the platform, and the return then pulls air across the wet surfaces and sends it to every room. A stained or soft platform base is the sign to look for.
