AC Condensate & Drain Line Leaks
An air conditioner makes water every day it runs. When its drain clogs or its pan cracks, that water goes into the ceiling or the slab.

A line leaking under a concrete floor spreads through the slab before it shows. Lifting flooring or a warm patch is often the first sign.

What fails in Destin
Serving Destin and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Built around a median year of 1992, about half of the housing (46.3 percent) in Destin is older than 1990, so much of it was fitted for cooling the way builders of the early 1990s went about it. With more than two in five homes in buildings of ten or more units, where a unit's air handler stands in a closet that opens onto its balcony, the salt air reaches the cabinet through the louvered door, and the drain pan beneath the coil rusts through at its corners.
Climate & seasonal risk
The normal dewpoint in Destin stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock in July and August, reaching 74.1 in August; August is the wettest month, with 6.08 of 55.35 inches, rain recorded at DESTIN FT WALTON AP 0.3 miles away and dewpoint at VALPARAISO EGLIN AFB 6.1 miles away. About a mile and a half from the open Gulf, an outdoor cooling unit set on a balcony or roof takes salt on its fins all year, and by August one whose fins have corroded runs nearly without stopping yet leaves the rooms of a closed condominium damper than its thermostat suggests.
What keeps buildings wet here
- Air handler closets opening onto balconies in buildings of ten or more units, where salt air reaches the cabinet and the drain pan rusts through
- Outdoor cooling units on balconies and roofs whose salt-corroded fins can no longer shed heat, so the system runs long and still leaves the rooms damp
- Seasonal units, more than a third of the homes, closed through the summer beside occupied neighbors whose cooled walls they share
