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

Where water lingers in Clermont

From an air handler dripping in Castle Hill, Crestview, and Heritage Hills to a slab that stays damp elsewhere in Clermont, one call connects you with a local pro working the area. Clermont describes its own hills as rare in Florida, and the city's runoff is gathered by 88 miles of stormwater pipe and drains.

Age of the homes

The median home in Clermont was built in 2006, with 17.4 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. Where a two-story house of recent build has its upper floor framed in wood under stucco, rain that gets through a hairline crack reaches wood sheathing, and the cooled rooms behind it keep that sheathing cooler than the August air that ought to dry it.

Rain and humidity

The air over Clermont 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; August brings 8.09 of the 50.64 inches a year, rain recorded at CLERMONT 9 S 4.7 miles away and dewpoint 23.7 miles away. The city's rolling hills send an August downpour down streets and driveways toward lower ground, and where a driveway falls toward a garage, the water reaches the garage door before the drains below can take it.

Leaks that go unseen here

  • Upper stories framed in wood under stucco on houses of recent build, where rain past a hairline crack wets sheathing that the cooled rooms behind it keep from drying
  • Driveways on the city's hillsides that fall toward the garage, delivering a downpour's runoff to the door seal and the garage slab
  • Lots beside one of the 64 retention basins the city keeps, which rise with the runoff from the streets above them
  • Garage walls shared with the house, where water spreading under the garage door wets the base of a wall whose other side is a cooled room

Frequently asked questions

Can a crack in the stucco wet the upstairs walls of a newer Clermont house?

Where the upper floor is framed in wood, yes. Stucco over block holds water in the block, but stucco over wood sheathing lets rain past a hairline crack reach the wood itself. The cooled rooms behind keep that sheathing cool, so it dries slowly in humid August air. Paint that blisters on the upstairs walls, or a soft spot below a window, is the sign.

Why does rain end up in the garage of a Clermont house on a hill?

Clermont's hills are rare for Florida, and where a driveway slopes down toward the garage, every downpour sends the runoff from the drive, and sometimes the street above, to the garage door. Water passes under a worn door seal and spreads across the slab to the wall the garage shares with the house. A drain across the foot of the drive stops it short of the door.

How does Clermont handle the runoff from its streets?

The city's stormwater division maintains 88 miles of pipe and drains and 64 retention basins and ponds, with the runoff it manages bound for Clermont's lakes. A lot beside one of those basins sees the water rise after a heavy storm, and a lot at the foot of a slope takes the street's runoff first, so the yard and slab edge there stay wet longest.
