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.

Local housing stock
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.
Climate & seasonal risk
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.
What keeps buildings wet 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
