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 Hastings wall stays wet

Water damage restoration across Hastings is handled by local pros working the area, whether the water came from the cooling system, a pipe or the weather. Hastings has fewer than 300 homes, some in buildings of ten or more units, and 54 with septic systems on record.

The structures themselves

About 204 of the 296 homes in Hastings were finished before 1990, around a median of 1972; a home's age can show in where its condensate drains and what its floor sits on. Ducts cast into the slab, in a house of the early 1970s built that way, lie in concrete on ground only about 9 feet above sea level, and in the wet months water from the soil can seep in at their joints, so the air reaching the rooms first passes over a wet duct floor.

Weather behind the risk

June is the wettest month in Hastings, with 7.77 of 51.4 inches, and it falls ahead of the stretch, in July and August, when the normal dewpoint holds at 70 or above, peaking at 73.9 in August; rain recorded at FEDERAL PT 3.7 miles away and dewpoint 37.2 miles away. Around a slab on this low ground, the soil stays wet between storms through June, the wettest month, and where ducts run inside that slab, the first minutes of each cooling cycle push damp air from them into the rooms.

What to check in Hastings

  • Ducts cast into the slabs of early-1970s houses, on ground about 9 feet above sea level, where water from the soil seeps in at the joints
  • Gutters carrying a whole long roof's rain to a few downspouts that empty beside the entry doors of buildings of ten or more units
  • Septic tanks among the 54 homes with systems on record, where groundwater rising in the wet season can seep in at an opened joint and fill the tank

Frequently asked questions

Can water get into the ducts under the floor of a Hastings house?

It can, where a house of the early 1970s carries its cooled air through ducts cast into the concrete slab. On ground only about 9 feet above sea level the soil around them stays wet through the summer, and water seeps in at their joints. Air from the floor registers then feels damp at the start of each cycle, and a light shone down a register can show standing water.

Why does water collect at the doors of a Hastings apartment building after a June storm?

Some homes in Hastings are in buildings of ten or more units, and where a building has one long roof, its gutters gather the rain from that whole roof and carry it to a few downspouts. Where those downspouts empty close to the entry doors, a June downpour lands there all at once and pools against the door sills and slab edge. Extensions that carry the water a few feet out keep it away.

How does groundwater end up inside a Hastings septic tank?

On ground only about 9 feet above sea level, the water table can rise close to a buried tank in the wet season. Where the tank's joints or pipe connections have opened, that groundwater seeps in, and the tank fills with water the household never sent it. Hastings has 54 homes with septic systems on record; one whose drains slow through June without heavy use may be taking water this way.
