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

Fort Pierce: why buildings stay damp

Across Fort Pierce, a building still wet days after a leak is one phone call from a local pro. Moore's Creek collects runoff from a 2,382-acre basin and carries it to the Indian River Lagoon; the city widened it for storage.

The housing, by era

1982 is the median build year in Fort Pierce, and 68 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. Leader pipes that carry a flat roof's rain down inside the walls, rather than outside them, empty a downpour into the cavity of whichever unit they pass once a joint works loose; about one home in five here is in a building of ten or more units.

Humid months and wet months

The normal dewpoint in Fort Pierce stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock from July through September, reaching 75.5 in August; September is the wettest month, with 8.21 of 55.89 inches, rain recorded at FT PIERCE 1.2 miles away and dewpoint 50.1 miles away. September's runoff from a basin of some 2,382 acres gathers in Moore's Creek on its way to the lagoon, and the creek was widened to hold more of it, so yards backing onto its banks keep their lowest ground beside high water for days after the storms.

The soft spots here

  • Roof drain leaders run inside the walls of buildings of ten or more units, where a loose joint empties a downpour into the wall cavity of the unit it passes
  • Furniture and mattresses covered in plastic in seasonal homes, about one in ten, holding humid air against the fabric all summer
  • Lots along Moore's Creek, widened to store runoff from a 2,382-acre basin, where the low end of the yard sits beside water held after September storms
  • A drain field at any of the 2,193 homes with septic systems on record, where a pool drained or backwashed onto the yard soaks the ground the field depends on

Frequently asked questions

Should furniture be covered with plastic in a Fort Pierce house closed for the summer?

Plastic is the wrong cover. About one Fort Pierce home in ten is held for seasonal use, and a sheet of plastic over a sofa or mattress traps a pocket of humid air against the fabric. With the cooling set high, the room around it dries a little, but the air under the sheet does not, and the fabric stays damp all season. Breathable cotton covers let that air move.

How can a September downpour reach the inside wall of a Fort Pierce condominium?

Some buildings of ten or more units, which hold about one Fort Pierce home in five, drain their flat roofs through leader pipes run down inside the walls, so every heavy rain passes through them. A joint that has worked loose lets that water into the wall cavity of the unit the pipe passes, so a stain can appear mid-wall during a storm with nothing leaking above it.

What happens along Moore's Creek in a wet September?

Moore's Creek takes the runoff from a 2,382-acre basin and carries it to the Indian River Lagoon, and the city widened it to give it more room to store water. After heavy September rain it holds that water between its banks, so yards backing onto it have their lowest ground beside a high creek. Slab edges, patio slabs and doors on the creek side are the places to check.
