Damp buildings in Hialeah

From an air handler dripping in Wynken Blynken and Nod Trailer Park and Anchor Mobile Home Park to a slab that stays damp elsewhere in Hialeah, one call connects to an independent contractor working the area. Hialeah drains through two major canals, the Miami Canal and the Little River Canal, which secondary canals feed on the way to Biscayne Bay.

What the homes date from

About 60,939 of the 79,130 homes in Hialeah were finished before 1990, around a median of 1975; a home's age can show in where its condensate drains and what its floor sits on. In Hialeah more than a third of the homes are in buildings of ten or more units, and where tile or vinyl is laid straight onto the ground-floor slab of one from the 1970s, it sits over groundwater the city says lies just below the surface.

The months that matter

The normal dewpoint in Hialeah stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock from June through September, reaching 75.6 in August; June is the wettest month, with 8.92 of 62.65 inches, rain recorded 2.9 miles away and dewpoint 5.5 miles away. In the rainy season the city's canals and lakes fill to capacity and the water table rises close to the surface, so when the secondary canals back up, a downpour stands at the curbs and parking lots of the blocks beside them.

The usual sources here

  • Floor tile and vinyl glued to ground-floor slabs in 1970s buildings, where the rainy season brings the water table up close beneath and the adhesive slowly lets go
  • Blocks beside the secondary canals that feed the Miami Canal and the Little River Canal, where a full canal backs up into the street drains and leaves rain standing at the doors
  • Apartment parking lots on flat ground about 7 feet above sea level, where a downpour has nowhere to run until the drains clear
  • Lakefront lots on the city's 26 or so lakes, which fill to capacity in the rainy season along with the canals

Frequently asked questions

What lifts the floor tile in a ground-floor Hialeah apartment?

The city describes its groundwater as lying just below the surface, and in the rainy season the water table rises close to it. More than a third of Hialeah's homes are in buildings of ten or more units, and on a ground floor of the 1970s, tile or vinyl glued straight to the slab takes that moisture from beneath until the adhesive gives way.

What happens to Hialeah streets when the canals are full?

Hialeah's water leaves through secondary canals into the Miami Canal and the Little River Canal. In the rainy season those canals and the city's lakes can reach capacity, and when a canal backs up, the street drains feeding it stop taking water. A downpour then stands at the curb and in parking lots, and ground-floor doors on the lowest blocks are the first it reaches.

Which canals carry Hialeah's rain to the bay?

The Miami Canal and the Little River Canal, the two major canals within the city, which drain the C-6 and C-7 basins. Secondary canals gather water from the land and pass it to them for discharge into Biscayne Bay. The city also holds some 26 lakes, and lots on those lakes see the water rise with the canals through the rainy season.
