First question at the door: where is the water coming from?

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

How long a Davenport wall stays wet

Water in a ceiling, wall or slab in Davenport, from Southern Crossing across town, is one call away from a local restoration pro. About one Davenport structure in nine is a manufactured home, and some 526 homes across the town have septic systems on record.

The structures themselves

The median home in Davenport was built in 2015, with 8.5 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. Much of the town is newly built, and where a recent house has a sealed attic insulated with spray foam under the roof deck, the attic air the cooling barely reaches gathers moisture rising from the rooms below and leaves it on the underside of the roof sheathing.

Weather behind the risk

Davenport spends two months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, in July and August; of 53.43 inches in a normal year, 8.86 fall in June, rain recorded at POINCIANA PLACE 2.6 NNW 7.1 miles away and dewpoint 25.6 miles away. No tide reaches a town some 52 miles from the open coast and about 117 feet above sea level, so June's water arrives as rain on roofs and walls and as humid air drawn indoors, much of it through the floors of its manufactured homes.

What to check in Davenport

  • Sealed, spray-foamed attics on recent houses, where air the cooling barely reaches collects moisture from the rooms below and leaves it on the roof sheathing
  • An air handler drawing its return from a closet with gaps around the floor pipes, pulling the damp air from under a manufactured home into the rooms, in a town where about one structure in nine is manufactured
  • June's downpours and the household's water reaching a drain field at once, at each of some 526 homes with septic systems on record

Frequently asked questions

Why is the roof sheathing damp in the sealed attic of a newer Davenport house?

Where a recent house has spray foam under the roof deck and no attic vents, the attic is meant to be part of the cooled space, but often only a little cooled air reaches it. Moisture from showers and cooking rises into that still air and settles on the underside of the sheathing, most of all near the ridge. A small supply or return in the attic keeps that air moving and dry.

How does damp air from under a Davenport manufactured home get into the rooms?

About one Davenport structure in nine is a manufactured home. Where the air handler sits in a closet and draws its return air there, any gap around the pipes or ducts passing through the closet floor becomes an inlet, and the fan pulls the humid air from beneath the home straight up into the house. Sealing those floor openings stops it.

Can water reach a Davenport house from the sea?

No. The town stands about 117 feet above sea level and some 52 miles from the open coast, well beyond any tide. Water in a house here comes from the rain on its roof and walls, its plumbing and cooling system, and the humid outdoor air drawn inside. That narrows the search: a damp ceiling, closet floor or exterior wall usually traces to one of those.
