Damp buildings in Deerfield Beach

Across Deerfield Beach, a building still wet days after a leak is one phone call from a local pro. Deerfield Beach's center lies 3 miles from the open coast, and over 20,000 of its homes share buildings of ten or more units.

What the homes date from

1978 is the median build year in Deerfield Beach, and 82.6 percent of the stock went up before 1990, an age that tends to settle whether the ductwork runs overhead through the attic or below the floor. More than two in five homes here are in buildings of ten or more units, and where an air handler's pan overflows in one apartment, the water spreads across the concrete floor slab beneath the flooring until it finds a pipe sleeve or a gap at the slab edge, and drops through it into the unit below, often well away from the closet it came from.

The months that matter

Deerfield Beach spends four months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, from June through September; of 65.16 inches in a normal year, 9.66 fall in June, rain recorded 2.3 miles away and dewpoint 25.8 miles away. About one home in six is held for seasonal use, and in a closed unit the dryer vent and the bath and kitchen exhaust ducts are open pipes to the outdoors; where a damper flap has stuck open, June's humid air flows in along them all summer and settles first in the laundry closet and the bathroom.

The usual sources here

  • Concrete floor slabs in buildings of ten or more units, where an overflowing pan's water travels under the flooring to a pipe sleeve and drops into the unit below
  • Dryer and exhaust dampers stuck open in seasonal units, about one home in six, letting humid outdoor air into a closed apartment all summer
  • Refrigerant lines run from each apartment's air handler to condensing units on the roof, where a cracked foam sleeve leaves the cold line sweating inside a shared chase

Frequently asked questions

Why is the laundry closet damp in a Deerfield Beach condo that was shut for the summer?

The dryer vent and the bath and kitchen exhaust ducts of a closed unit are open paths to the outdoors, kept shut only by small damper flaps, and about one Deerfield Beach home in six is held for seasonal use. Where a flap has stuck open, humid June air flows in along the duct all summer and settles in the laundry closet or bathroom first. Checking that each flap swings closed before leaving stops it.

How can water from one Deerfield Beach apartment's air handler appear far from it in the unit below?

More than two in five homes here are in buildings of ten or more units, with concrete slabs between floors. When an air handler's pan overflows, the water spreads under the flooring across that slab until it reaches an opening, a pipe sleeve or a gap at the slab edge, and drops through there. The stain below can sit several rooms away from the closet above, so the search starts at the nearest penetrations.

What runs between a Deerfield Beach condo's air handler and the roof?

Where a building's condensing units stand on the roof, a pair of refrigerant lines climbs from each apartment's air handler through a shared chase to reach them. One of those lines runs cold whenever the cooling is on, and a foam sleeve keeps the humid air off it. Where the sleeve has cracked or slipped, the line sweats inside the chase, and the walls of the units it passes take the water.
