Moisture load in Hudson

Water damage restoration in Hudson, including Emerald Fields, is handled by local pros working the area, whether the water came from the cooling system, a pipe or the weather. About 2,000 of Hudson's 7,600 homes are manufactured, and some 1,200 are held for seasonal, recreational or occasional use, a mile from the Gulf.

When these homes went up

Built around a median year of 1984, about three quarters of the housing (71.2 percent) in Hudson is older than 1990, so much of it was fitted for cooling the way builders of the mid 1980s went about it. About a quarter of the homes are manufactured and about one in six is held for seasonal use, and when a manufactured home shut through the summer is switched back on in the fall, the first cold air through its belly ducts meets a whole season's damp underneath and condenses heavily along their length.

When the air turns heavy

The normal dewpoint in Hudson stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock in July and August, reaching 75.2 in August; August is the wettest month, with 9.93 of 55.56 inches, rain recorded at PORT RICHEY 2.0 NNE 4.3 miles away and dewpoint 28.9 miles away. About a mile from the Gulf and 11 feet above it, the ground beneath raised homes stays wet through August, and a closed home's underside sits in that damp air with no cooling running to draw water out of the rooms above.

What holds water in Hudson

  • Manufactured homes, about a quarter of the town, whose belly ducts go cold all at once when a closed home's cooling is switched back on in the fall
  • Floor decking in closed manufactured homes, where decking of particleboard takes up the summer's humid air and swells at the seams
  • Low ground about 11 feet above sea level and a mile from the Gulf, where the space beneath raised floors stays damp through the wet season

Frequently asked questions

What should a Hudson owner check when a manufactured home is reopened after the summer?

About one home in six in Hudson is held for seasonal use, and about a quarter are manufactured. When cooling restarts in a home closed since spring, the ducts in the belly turn cold while the air around them still holds the summer's water, so condensation runs heavy for the first days. Checking the belly wrap for new sags and the floor near registers for damp spots catches it early.

Why does the floor of a closed Hudson manufactured home feel soft in the fall?

Where the floor decking is particleboard, it takes up water from humid air and swells, most of all at its seams and edges. In a home closed through the summer with nothing running to dry the air, the decking soaks for months. A floor that dips or feels spongy near exterior walls, doors or the water heater is where to look first.

Does being a mile from the Gulf change what happens under a Hudson home?

It changes the ground. Hudson sits about 11 feet above sea level and roughly a mile from the Gulf, so the soil beneath a raised home drains slowly and stays wet through August. The air trapped inside the skirting is as damp as that ground, and the ducts and floor of a cooled home above it gather the water it gives up.
