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

Where water lingers in Frostproof

Across Sunset Shores, Lakemont Ridge, and Whispering Pines+ and the rest of Frostproof, a building still wet days after a leak is one phone call from a local pro. In Frostproof, manufactured homes number close to 570, nearly three in ten, each with its cooled ducts running through the air beneath its floor.

Age of the homes

1983 is the median build year in Frostproof, and 67.5 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. Close to three homes in ten are manufactured and about one in six is held for seasonal use, and where a closed home is cooled by a window unit left in place for the summer, its folding side panels, once cracked or pulled loose, let outdoor air and wind-blown rain into a room with no cooling running to dry it.

Rain and humidity

In July and August, any surface in a Frostproof building cooler than 70 degrees, a supply duct or a cold water line, sits below the normal outdoor dewpoint at every hour; 55.44 inches fall in a normal year, 9.82 of them in July, rain recorded at FROSTPROOF 4.6 SW 5 miles away and dewpoint 48.9 miles away. Lying about 85 feet above sea level and 53 miles from the open coast, the town takes July's storms on gusty wind rather than tide, and where an older manufactured home has a spinning turbine vent on its roof, a stuck or bent turbine lets that wind-driven rain into the shallow cavity over the ceiling.

Leaks that go unseen here

  • Window units left in closed seasonal homes, about one home in six, whose cracked or loose side panels let outdoor air and wind-blown rain into an uncooled room
  • Roof turbine vents on older manufactured homes, stuck or bent, which let July's wind-driven rain into the shallow cavity over the ceiling
  • Thin ceiling panels beneath those roof cavities, which soak up whatever rain a turbine admits and sag before a stain shows

Frequently asked questions

Can a window unit left in a closed Frostproof home let water in?

Yes. About one Frostproof home in six is held for seasonal use, and close to three in ten are manufactured. A window unit left in place for the summer is held in its opening by folding side panels, and once those have cracked or pulled loose, outdoor air and wind-blown rain pass straight in, onto a sill and wall in a room with no cooling running to dry them.

What leaves a wet ring under the roof vent of an older Frostproof manufactured home?

Where an older manufactured home has a spinning turbine vent on its roof to let hot air out of the shallow cavity over the ceiling, a turbine that sticks or has bent vanes lets July's gusty, wind-driven rain past it into that cavity. The thin ceiling panel below soaks it up and sags. A stain centered under the vent points to it, and a sound cap or a new turbine ends it.

How do July storms reach a manufactured home in Frostproof?

Sideways, mostly. Frostproof stands about 85 feet above sea level and some 53 miles from the open coast, so no tide or salt spray reaches it, and its July storms arrive as rain on a gusty wind. On a manufactured home that means water pushed in at roof vents, around window units and through the joints of the siding, so those are the places to look after a storm.
