Why a Florida building stays wet: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.

Englewood: why buildings stay damp

From an air handler dripping into a ceiling to a slab that stays damp, one call anywhere in Englewood connects you with a local pro working the area. Englewood looks out on Lemon Bay, a shallow, narrow bay between the town and Manasota Key, fed by Alligator, Forked and Gottfried creeks.

The housing, by era

About 10,465 of the 14,591 homes in Englewood were finished before 1990, around a median of 1982; a home's age can show in where its condensate drains and what its floor sits on. Close to a quarter of the homes here are manufactured, and where an older one is cooled by a unit on its roof, the supply runs through a duct in the shallow roof cavity and the unit sheds its own water across the roof, so a clogged drain or a tired curb seal puts that water into the ceiling below.

Humid months and wet months

From July through September, any surface in a Englewood building cooler than 70 degrees, a supply duct or a cold water line, sits below the normal outdoor dewpoint at every hour; 53.9 inches fall in a normal year, 8.98 of them in September, rain recorded at ENGLEWOOD 2.0 NNW 1.6 miles away and dewpoint 40 miles away. With about one home in five held for seasonal use, many houses go through September closed, and indoor-outdoor carpet on a screened lanai soaks up the month's blown-in rain and holds it against the base of the house wall and the slider's sill, where the humid air never takes it back.

The soft spots here

  • Rooftop cooling units on older manufactured homes, close to a quarter of the town's homes, whose water runs across the roof and whose worn curb seals let it into the ceiling
  • Indoor-outdoor carpet on screened lanais, which holds rain against the wall base and under the sliding doors of houses closed for the season
  • Septic tanks and drain fields at the 357 homes on record, on ground about 8 feet above sea level near Lemon Bay, where the wet season can lift the water table close beneath the trenches

Frequently asked questions

How does a rooftop air conditioner leak into an older Englewood manufactured home?

Close to a quarter of Englewood's homes are manufactured, and some older ones are cooled by a single unit sitting on the roof. That unit makes water as it cools and sheds it onto the roof, while the opening beneath it is sealed only by a curb and gasket. When the drain clogs or the seal wears, the water finds the duct opening and comes through the ceiling.

Should the carpet stay down on the screened lanai of an Englewood house closed for the summer?

Better to roll it up. About a fifth of Englewood's homes are held for seasonal use, and indoor-outdoor carpet left down all summer soaks up every blown-in shower. It holds that water against the base of the house wall and under the slider's sill for months, and the humid air never draws it back out. A bare slab sheds the rain and dries between storms.

Which bay does Englewood sit on, and what feeds it?

Lemon Bay, a shallow, narrow bay between the town and Manasota Key, with creeks including Alligator, Forked and Gottfried flowing into it from the mainland side. On ground about 8 feet above sea level near that bay, the wet season can lift the water table close beneath slabs and drain fields; Englewood has 357 homes with septic systems on record, and their trenches have less room by September.
