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

What keeps Cocoa buildings wet

Water damage restoration across Cocoa is handled by local pros working the area, whether the water came from the cooling system, a pipe or the weather. Runoff from 170-plus acres of Cocoa reaches the St. Johns River, while Bracco Pond treats 1,800 acres that drain to the Indian River Lagoon.

The age of the buildings

Built around a median year of 1975, about three quarters of the housing (73.3 percent) in Cocoa is older than 1990, so much of it was fitted for cooling the way builders of the mid 1970s went about it. Where a mid-1970s house still carries the sprayed acoustic texture on its ceilings, a supply duct sweating in the attic above drips onto drywall whose rough coating soaks the water up and sags before any stain shows.

The humid season

The normal dewpoint in Cocoa stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock from July through September, reaching 75.5 in August; September is the wettest month, with 8.26 of 55.27 inches, rain recorded at COCOA 2.6 WNW 1.9 miles away and dewpoint 20.4 miles away. September's rain leaves the city in two directions, west toward the St. Johns River and east to the Indian River Lagoon, and on either slope the lot at the bottom of a block takes the runoff of the yards above it against its slab.

Where water settles in Cocoa

  • Sprayed acoustic ceilings in houses of the mid-1970s, which soak up water from a sweating attic duct above and sag before they stain
  • Returns built from closed-off stud bays or joist spaces in older houses and apartments, which pull air from wall cavities open to the outdoors
  • Lots at the low end of a block on either side of the city's divide, west to the St. Johns River or east to the lagoon, where September runoff meets the slab edge

Frequently asked questions

Why is the textured ceiling sagging in a 1970s Cocoa house?

The median Cocoa house was built in 1975, and many of that era have a sprayed acoustic texture on the ceilings. Where a supply duct in the attic above has lost its insulation, it sweats, and the water drips onto the drywall. The rough coating soaks it up and holds it, so the ceiling softens and sags before a clear stain appears. The duct above the sag is the source.

Can an air return pull damp air out of the walls of an older Cocoa home?

It can. Some older houses and apartments use a closed-off stud bay or the space between joists as part of the return instead of a sealed duct. Those cavities are rarely airtight, so the fan draws air from inside the walls and from the outdoors through them, along with its water. A musty draft at the return grille is the sign, and lining or sealing the return fixes it.

Which way does the rain run off in Cocoa?

Both ways. Runoff from more than 170 acres of the city reaches the St. Johns River to the west, and Bracco Pond treats some 1,800 acres of stormwater that drains east to the Indian River Lagoon. Whichever way a street falls, the lot at its lower end takes the runoff from the yards above, so its slab edge and lowest doors are the places to check after a September storm.
