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 Deltona wall stays wet

Water damage restoration in Deltona, including Portland Industrial Park, is handled by local pros working the area, whether the water came from the cooling system, a pipe or the weather. Deltona's eastern half drains into the closed Theresa Basin, whose interconnected lakes fall again only through groundwater recharge and evapotranspiration.

The structures themselves

The median home in Deltona was built in 1988, with 56.2 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. Septic systems serve some 14,060 homes on record here, and where a drain field lies near one of the basin's lakes, it works in ground that the lake's slow recovery keeps wet, so the household's water has less room to go.

Weather behind the risk

Deltona spends two months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, in July and August; of 51.77 inches in a normal year, 7.97 fall in July, rain recorded at DE BARY 1.7 NE 5.1 miles away and dewpoint 8.9 miles away. Rain that reaches the Theresa Basin has no stream to leave by, so after a wet July the lakes in the city's eastern half stay high long after the storms pass, and so does the soil around the drain fields and slabs beside them.

What to check in Deltona

  • Drain fields near the lakes of the closed Theresa Basin, which fall only by seeping into the ground and evaporating, so the soil beside them stays wet long after a storm
  • Patios, sheds or driveway extensions laid over part of a drain field at any of the 14,063 homes with septic systems on record, leaving less open ground to take the household's water
  • Low lots at the edge of the basin's interconnected lakes, where a lake raised by a wet summer stands close to the yard and slab until it seeps away

Frequently asked questions

Why do the lakes in eastern Deltona stay high so long after the rain?

The eastern half of the city lies in the Theresa Basin, which the city describes as hydrologically closed. Its stormwater drains to a series of interconnected lakes with no outlet, and they come back down only as the water soaks into the ground or evaporates. After a wet summer that takes a long time, so lakeside yards and slabs sit beside high water.

How does a high lake affect a Deltona septic field nearby?

About 14,060 homes in Deltona have septic systems on record. A drain field works by letting the household's water soak into the soil, and near one of the Theresa Basin's lakes, that soil is wet from the lake's own slow recovery. With less room to take water, the field can push it back toward the house, often first at a ground-floor shower or tub.

Does it matter if a patio covers part of a Deltona drain field?

It can. A drain field needs open ground to take water in, and a patio, shed or widened driveway laid over part of it leaves less. In dry months that may not show, but once the rain has filled the soil, the smaller field has nowhere to send the household's water. Knowing where the field lies before building on the yard avoids it.
