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

Dade City: why buildings stay damp

Across Clinton Heights, South Clinton Heights, and Lake Pasadena Heights and the rest of Dade City, a building still wet days after a leak is one phone call from a local pro. Close to 500 of Dade City's 3,440 homes are manufactured, and each is set up off the ground rather than on a slab.

The housing, by era

Since 1990, Dade City has added 34.5 percent of the homes it has now, though the median still dates to 1980; builders of each era set the ducts and the cold surfaces where they remain. Where the air handler of a manufactured home stands in a hall closet, the coldest metal under the floor is the plenum box beneath it, where cooled air first enters the belly, and once the wrap around that box loosens it sweats hardest of all and soaks the floor decking above.

Humid months and wet months

Dade City spends two months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, in July and August; of 58.02 inches in a normal year, 9.47 fall in August, rain recorded at DADE CITY 1.8 WSW 1.7 miles away and dewpoint 34.3 miles away. Dade City's center stands about 85 feet above sea level, so the water under a manufactured home after an August storm is the storm's own, rain off the roof and the yard soaking the shaded soil inside the skirting, where no sun reaches to dry it.

The soft spots here

  • Supply plenum boxes beneath the air handler closets of manufactured homes, close to 500 here, the coldest metal in the belly and the first to sweat when the wrap loosens
  • Slots cut through the bottom board where tie-down straps were added, letting humid outdoor air reach the cooled ducts inside the belly
  • Shaded soil inside the skirting on ground about 85 feet up, holding August's rain where the sun never reaches and keeping the air around the ducts wet

Frequently asked questions

What softens the floor outside the air handler closet of a Dade City manufactured home?

Often the plenum box beneath it. Close to 500 Dade City homes are manufactured, and where the air handler stands in a closet, cooled air drops into a metal box under the floor before spreading through the belly ducts. That box is the coldest metal under the home, and once its insulation wrap loosens, water forms on it all summer and soaks the decking above.

Do the tie-down straps under a Dade City manufactured home let in damp air?

They can. Where straps were added after the home was set, the installer often cut slots in the bottom board to reach the frame. Unless those slots were taped shut, the humid outdoor air passes through them into the floor cavity, settles on the cooled ducts and soaks the insulation. Checking each strap where it enters the belly shows whether the board was sealed.

Why does the ground under a Dade City manufactured home stay damp after a storm?

Because the sun never reaches it. Dade City stands about 85 feet above sea level, so the water beneath a home is rain from its own roof and yard. Inside the skirting the soil is shaded all day, and after an August storm it holds that rain far longer than the open lawn, keeping the air around the belly wet.
