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

What keeps Cape Coral buildings wet

Water damage restoration in Cape Coral, including McGregor and Casa di Fiori, is handled by local pros working the area, whether the water came from the cooling system, a pipe or the weather. Cape Coral is laced with more than 400 miles of canals, and the freshwater ones are held behind weirs that store excess stormwater.

The age of the buildings

Since 1990, Cape Coral has added 64.9 percent of the homes it has now, though the median still dates to 2000; builders of each era set the ducts and the cold surfaces where they remain. Close to 12 percent of the homes are held for seasonal use, and when one reopens in the fall, a household's showers, laundry and dishes return all at once to a septic drain field set in ground the wet season has left full.

The humid season

The normal dewpoint in Cape Coral stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock from July through September, reaching 75.5 in August; August is the wettest month, with 10.43 of 57.41 inches, both figures recorded 9.3 miles away. The freshwater canals are held behind weirs to store stormwater, so through August the canal beside a lot runs high, and the strip of yard between it and the slab, drain field included, has little room left to take more rain.

Where water settles in Cape Coral

  • Some 19,400 homes with septic systems on record, their drain fields in canal-side ground that the summer leaves with little room for more water
  • Seasonal houses, close to 12 percent of the homes, reopened in the fall when the full household load lands on a drain field that has not yet drained
  • Freshwater canals held up behind weirs to store stormwater, keeping the yard and slab edge of a canal-front lot close to high water through the summer
  • Houses from around 2000 with the air handler in the garage, where a condensate line run out through the wall clogs and spills across the garage slab

Frequently asked questions

Why does a Cape Coral drain gurgle the week a seasonal house reopens?

Cape Coral has some 19,400 homes with septic systems on record, and close to 12 percent of its homes are held for seasonal use. When a closed house fills again in the fall, its full daily water use lands on a drain field in ground the summer has saturated. With nowhere to go, the water rises back toward the lowest drain, a tub or floor drain, which gurgles first.

Does living on a Cape Coral canal change how a yard and slab handle summer rain?

It can. The city's canals, more than 400 miles of them, carry runoff away from homes and streets, and the freshwater ones are held behind weirs that store stormwater. Through the rainy months the canal beside a lot runs high, so the yard drains slowly toward it. The slope of the yard, the pool deck and any door at yard level are what to watch.

Where does an air handler in a Cape Coral garage put its water?

In a house from around 2000 with the air handler in the garage, the condensate drains through a line that usually runs out through the garage wall. Every hour the cooling runs in August it carries water, and if algae or debris blocks it, the pan overflows onto the garage slab and into whatever is stored there. A wet patch beneath the unit is the first sign.
