What fails in Ellenton
Serving Ellenton and the surrounding area, including Amberwynd.
Local housing stock
Since 1990, Ellenton has added 46.8 percent of the homes it has now, though the median still dates to 1988; builders of each era set the ducts and the cold surfaces where they remain. A quarter or so of Ellenton's homes are manufactured, and where one was set low enough that its skirting vents sit level with the yard, each downpour splashes through those vents onto the soil beneath the floor, wetting the ground under the cooled ducts from the side as well as from above.
Climate & seasonal risk
Ellenton spends three months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, from July through September; of 56.28 inches in a normal year, 10.07 fall in August, rain recorded 5.7 miles away and dewpoint 28.3 miles away. The Gamble Mansion's north wing and its eighteen columns are tabby, a masonry of lime and oyster shell, and through August, the wettest month, such walls take up the rain readily and give it back slowly in air this humid, so their lowest courses stay darkest longest.
What keeps buildings wet here
- Skirting vents set level with the yard on manufactured homes, about a quarter of the town, where each downpour splashes through onto the soil beneath the floor
- Tabby and brick walls at the Gamble Mansion, lime-mortared masonry that takes up August's rain and dries slowly in humid air
- Cooled belly ducts hanging just above soil that splashed rain keeps wet, in still air inside the skirting through the summer
