Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water removed before it soaks into slab, block and flooring - the first step after any failure, and the one humid air makes urgent.

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.

Local housing stock
Built around a median year of 1987, a little over half of the housing (55.1 percent) in Jacksonville is older than 1990, so much of it was fitted for cooling the way builders of the late 1980s went about it. In Riverside, on the west bank of the St. Johns River, hundreds of those older houses are wood frame on brick or block piers, and once the rooms are cooled, the underside of each floor sits colder than the damp air moving beneath it.
Climate & seasonal risk
Jacksonville spends two months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, in July and August; of 53.1 inches in a normal year, 7.84 fall in September, rain recorded at JACKSONVILLE 4.2 ESE 4.5 miles away and dewpoint at JACKSONVILLE NAS 7.2 miles away. Avondale, beside it, was built out before 1928 in brick, stucco and coquina concrete block, and through the wettest weeks those walls take up rain that they release only slowly into air with no room left to absorb it.
What keeps buildings wet here
- Frame houses in Riverside set on brick or block piers, where humid air passing under an air-conditioned floor leaves water on the boards and on any ductwork run through the crawl space
- Avondale's 1920s walls of brick, stucco, tile and coquina concrete block, which soak up rain in the wet months and give it back slowly, inward as well as out
- Some 14,000 homes with septic systems on record, where days of heavy summer rain can leave a drain field with nowhere to send the water but back toward the lowest drain in the house
