First question at the door: where is the water coming from?

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

How long a Gibsonton wall stays wet

Water damage restoration in Gibsonton, including Allens and Adamsville, is handled by local pros working the area, whether the water came from the cooling system, a pipe or the weather. In Gibsonton, more than one structure in four is a manufactured home, some 1,850, each belly a short way above ground near sea level.

The structures themselves

About 2,132 of the 6,739 homes in Gibsonton were finished before 1990, around a median of 2002; a home's age can show in where its condensate drains and what its floor sits on. In a house of around 2002 with paint over stucco on block, once the paint film has chalked thin the block takes up the wind-driven rain of each summer storm, and with the cooled rooms on the other side, that wall cannot give the water back to the August air.

Weather behind the risk

The normal dewpoint in Gibsonton stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock in July and August, reaching 75.2 in August; August is the wettest month, with 10.49 of 54.57 inches, rain recorded 2.8 miles away and dewpoint 13.5 miles away. On ground only about 5 feet above sea level, the wet season brings the water table close beneath the soil under each manufactured home, and the air trapped inside the skirting carries that water up to the belly, where the cooled ducts take it in.

What to check in Gibsonton

  • Manufactured homes, more than a quarter of the structures, on ground near sea level where the August water table stands close beneath the soil inside each skirting
  • Painted stucco on block walls of houses from around 2002, where chalked, thin paint lets wind-driven rain into a block the humid air will not draw dry
  • Belly wraps and skirting about a mile from the open coast, where salt left by onshore wind holds water from every humid night against the floor

Frequently asked questions

How does wet ground near sea level reach the ducts of a Gibsonton manufactured home?

Because the ground beneath it is wet. More than a quarter of Gibsonton's homes are manufactured, on ground only about 5 feet above sea level, and in the wet season the water table rises close beneath the soil. The air inside the skirting picks up that water and meets the cooled ducts in the belly, so water forms on them and collects in the wrap.

Can rain soak through the wall of a newer Gibsonton block house?

It can, once the paint has worn. On a house of around 2002 with stucco over block, the paint film is what sheds the rain. When it chalks thin, wind-driven summer storms wet the stucco and the block behind it, and with the cooled rooms inside, the wall holds that water rather than giving it back to the humid air. Repainting closes it.

How does salt from the coast reach a Gibsonton manufactured home?

On the wind. Gibsonton's center lies about a mile from the open coast, and onshore wind carries salt that settles on the skirting, the belly wrap and the steel frame. Salt draws water out of humid air and holds it, so those surfaces stay damp on nights when nothing else is wet, right against the cooled floor of the home.
