Why a Florida building stays wet: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.
What keeps Hernando buildings wet
Water in a ceiling, wall or slab in Hernando, from Holder across town, is one call away from a local restoration pro. Close to half of Hernando's homes, some 2,500 of them, are manufactured, each built on a steel chassis with outdoor air beneath its floor.
The age of the buildings
1986 is the median build year in Hernando, and 60.4 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 half the homes here are manufactured, and where an older one's belly trunk carries thinner insulation than a newer home's, the trunk's outer surface runs colder than the summer air beneath the floor, and the wrap below it takes the water that condenses there.
The humid season
Hernando averages 80.7 degrees in July, and even its coolest nights, in January, hold a normal low of 42.6; July is the wettest month at 8.32 of 55.11 inches a year, rain recorded at HERNANDO 1.6 N 2.2 miles away and temperatures at INVERNESS 3 SE 11.6 miles away. A washer that empties into its own pit in the yard rather than the septic tank sends each load, through July's rains, into ground the rain has already filled, and when the pit can take no more, the laundry water backs up toward the home.
Where water settles in Hernando
- Thinly insulated belly trunks under older manufactured homes, close to half the town's housing, sweating into the wrap through the summer
- Washers draining to their own pits in the yard, which fill with July rain and send laundry water back up toward the home
- Condensate lines that end over the drain field at any of the 1,831 homes with septic systems on record, adding the cooling's daily water to ground the rain is filling

Frequently asked questions
Why does the belly wrap under an older Hernando manufactured home hold water?
Close to half of Hernando's homes are manufactured. Under each, a main trunk duct carries cooled air the length of the home, and where an older home's trunk has less insulation than a newer one's, its outer surface runs colder than the summer air around it. Water condenses on it and gathers in the wrap below. A low, heavy spot in the wrap along the trunk's line is the sign.
Can a washer pit in a Hernando yard overflow in July?
Into the ground beside the pit, as long as that ground has room. In July, the wettest month, the soil around it is already holding the rain, so each load fills the pit higher. Once it can take no more, the water backs up the drain hose and out at the standpipe or onto the floor. Spacing loads out after a run of storms gives the pit time to empty.
Can the air conditioner's water reach a Hernando drain field?
It can, where the condensate line ends over the field. Hernando has some 1,831 homes with septic systems on record, and through July a cooling system sends water out of that line every hour it runs. Landing on the field, it adds to the rain the ground is already holding, leaving less room for the household's water. Extending the line to another part of the yard takes it off the field.
