Where water lingers in Hobe Sound

Across Hobe Sound, a building still wet days after a leak is one phone call from a local pro. Manufactured homes make up more than a quarter of Hobe Sound's housing, their floors and ducts set over ground about 21 feet up.

Age of the homes

1983 is the median build year in Hobe Sound, and 75 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. Over a quarter of the homes are manufactured, and where one stands over a poured concrete pad rather than bare ground, the flat pad holds each June puddle beneath the belly, so the cooled ducts hang over standing water instead of soil that would take it in.

Rain and humidity

June is the wettest month in Hobe Sound, with 9.56 of 64.16 inches, and it falls inside the stretch, from June through September, when the normal dewpoint holds at 70 or above, peaking at 75.5 in August; rain recorded at PORT SALERNO 5W 7.6 miles away and dewpoint 26.9 miles away. One home in eight here is held for seasonal use, and a manufactured home closed with its cooling off has a thin shell that warms through the June day and cools after dark, so by dawn the humid air shut inside meets its windows and outer walls and leaves water on them.

Leaks that go unseen here

  • Manufactured homes, more than a quarter of the town, set over flat concrete pads that hold rain in puddles directly beneath the belly ducts
  • Closed seasonal homes, about one in eight, whose thin walls and roof cool after dark so the shut-in air condenses on windows and outer walls by morning
  • Carports, sheds and awnings that empty their roof water onto the drain field, at any of the 1,004 homes with septic systems on record

Frequently asked questions

What makes water puddle under a Hobe Sound manufactured home set on a concrete pad?

More than a quarter of Hobe Sound homes are manufactured. Where one sits over a flat poured pad instead of bare ground, the rain that blows or runs under the skirting has nowhere to soak in, so it puddles beneath the belly. The cooled ducts then hang over standing water in still air. A pad that drains to one side, or vents opened on both sides, lets it dry.

What happens inside a closed Hobe Sound manufactured home with the cooling switched off?

A manufactured home's walls and roof are thin, and about one Hobe Sound home in eight is held for seasonal use, so a closed one heats quickly through a June day and cools quickly after dark. By dawn the humid air shut inside meets windows and outer walls colder than itself and leaves water on them, night after night. Leaving the cooling on at a moderate setting stops the cycle.

Can a shed or carport roof overload a Hobe Sound drain field?

It can add to it. Hobe Sound has some 1,004 homes with septic systems on record, and where a carport, shed or awning beside the home empties its roof water onto the drain field, every downpour adds a whole roof of rain to ground the field needs for the household's water. In June that can be enough to fill it. Turning the runoff elsewhere eases the load.
