Where water lingers in Green Cove Springs

From an air handler dripping in Magnolia Springs to a slab that stays damp elsewhere in Green Cove Springs, one call connects you with a local pro working the area. The St. Johns River forms Green Cove Springs' eastern boundary, and the town's spring empties through a winding creek into it.

Age of the homes

Since 1990, Green Cove Springs has added 57.3 percent of the homes it has now, though the median still dates to 1998; builders of each era set the ducts and the cold surfaces where they remain. Nearly all of the historic district's houses are wood frame, most resting on brick piers, and brick standing in damp ground draws water up into the sill beam laid across it, so the lowest timber of each house stays wetter than the floor it carries.

Rain and humidity

The normal dewpoint in Green Cove Springs stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock in July and August, reaching 73.9 in August; June is the wettest month, with 7.3 of 53.07 inches, rain recorded 5.6 miles away and dewpoint 17.2 miles away. The district grew westward from the river, so its oldest houses stand nearest the St. Johns and the spring, on the town's flat land, and through the wettest weeks the ground beneath their raised floors stays as wet as the air moving across it.

Leaks that go unseen here

  • Brick piers under the historic district's frame houses, drawing water from damp ground up into the sill beams that rest on them
  • The oldest houses, nearest the St. Johns River and the spring, on flat land close to river level where the ground under raised floors stays wet through June
  • Ground beside the creek that carries the spring's water east to the river, where the flowing water can keep the soil damp between storms

Frequently asked questions

Why is the sill beam of an old Green Cove Springs house soft where it sits on a pier?

The historic district's houses are wood frame, most of them resting on brick piers. Brick set in damp ground draws water upward, and the sill beam laid across the top of each pier takes it in where the two meet. With humid air around it all summer, that timber rarely dries. Probing the sill at each pier, and looking for a dark band at the top of the brick, shows where it is wettest.

Does living near the spring creek in Green Cove Springs keep a house damper?

It can. Water from the town's spring flows through the pool and into a winding creek that runs east to the St. Johns River, so the ground along its banks has water moving beside it in dry weeks as well as wet ones. A house close to the creek can have damp soil at its foundation or under its floor long after the rain has stopped, and the air beneath its floor takes on that water.

Beneath the raised floors of Green Cove Springs' riverside houses, what does June bring?

The historic district developed from the river westward, so its oldest frame houses stand nearest the St. Johns, on flat land close to river level. By June the ground under their raised floors is soaked, and the air moving beneath them is as wet as the ground. Clear openings in the skirting and a look at the joists after a rainy week show whether water is collecting.
