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.

What fails in Hastings
Serving Hastings and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
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.
Climate & seasonal 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 keeps buildings wet here
- 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
