What fails in Davenport
Serving Davenport and the surrounding area, including Southern Crossing.
Local housing stock
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.
Climate & seasonal 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 keeps buildings wet here
- 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
