Moisture load in Coleman

Water damage restoration across Coleman is handled by local pros working the area, whether the water came from the cooling system, a pipe or the weather. Coleman, a small Sumter County town of a few hundred homes, has 287 properties with septic systems on record with the health department.

When these homes went up

About 223 of the 319 homes in Coleman were finished before 1990, around a median of 1974; a home's age can show in where its condensate drains and what its floor sits on. Manufactured homes are common here, and in an older one whose water heater stands in an interior closet directly on the floor decking, with no pan beneath it, a tank that has begun to seep at its base wets the decking a little every day, and the humid summer air keeps the wood from drying between drips.

When the air turns heavy

The normal dewpoint in Coleman stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock in July and August, reaching 75.2 in August; August is the wettest month, with 7.93 of 50.7 inches, rain recorded at THE VILLAGES 4.8 SSW 6.9 miles away and dewpoint 48.1 miles away. August storms reach the drain fields of the town's 287 homes with septic systems on record, and where a field was laid in the low corner of a small lot, the runoff from the yard above it arrives with the rain, so the ground there fills before the household's own water is sent to it.

What holds water in Coleman

  • Water heaters standing on the bare floor decking of older manufactured homes, where a slow seep at the tank's base soaks the wood a little every day
  • Plywood or wood lattice skirting on older homes, which takes up each August storm and holds it at the edge of the space under the floor
  • Drain fields laid in the low corner of a lot, among the 287 homes with septic systems on record, where the yard's runoff joins the rain on the field

Frequently asked questions

What softens the floor at the water heater closet of an older Coleman manufactured home?

Where the water heater stands in an interior closet directly on the floor decking, with no pan beneath it, a tank that has begun to seep at its base wets the wood a little every day. In humid summer air the decking never dries between drips, so it swells and softens around the tank. A pan with a drain line carried outdoors keeps that water off the floor.

Does wooden skirting keep the space under a Coleman manufactured home wetter?

It can. Manufactured homes are common in Coleman, and some older ones are skirted with plywood or wood lattice instead of vinyl. Wood takes up each August storm and holds it, so the skirting stays wet at the edge of the space under the floor, and the air beneath the home, where the cooled ducts run, stays damp with it. Panels that stay dark long after the rain are holding water.

Why does a drain field in the low corner of a Coleman lot fill so fast?

Coleman has 287 homes with septic systems on record. Where a field was laid in the lowest corner of a small lot, the rain falling on the yard above runs down to it, so in August the field takes that runoff as well as the rain on it, and has little room left for the household's water. A shallow swale that turns the yard's runoff around the field helps.
