Moisture load in Jupiter

Water damage restoration in Jupiter, including Valencia, is handled by local pros working the area, whether the water came from the cooling system, a pipe or the weather. Much of Jupiter's runoff flows directly into its canals, creeks, the Loxahatchee River and the Intracoastal Waterway, the town's own stormwater page says.

When these homes went up

About 16,289 of the 31,257 homes in Jupiter were finished before 1990, around a median of 1989; a home's age can show in where its condensate drains and what its floor sits on. In buildings of ten or more units, which hold about one home in five, a unit whose air handler stands in a closet opening onto an outdoor walkway lets the outdoor air reach the cabinet through its louvered door, and the cold plenum and duct above it sweat into the closet and the ceiling around it.

When the air turns heavy

The air over Jupiter carries the most water in August, when the normal dewpoint reaches 75.5 degrees, and from June through September it does not drop below 70 even overnight; June brings 10.06 of the 72.19 inches a year, rain recorded at JUNO BEACH 5.5 miles away and dewpoint 16.2 miles away. About one home in seven is held for seasonal use, and through June, the wettest month, a closed house whose irrigation timer was left running has its stucco sprayed and its slab edge soaked on top of the rain, with the cooling set high inside doing little to dry the wall from within.

What holds water in Jupiter

  • Air handler closets that open onto outdoor walkways in buildings of ten or more units, where humid air reaches the cabinet and the cold plenum sweats into the ceiling
  • Irrigation timers left running at seasonal houses, about one home in seven, spraying walls and soaking slab edges through the wettest weeks
  • Homes along the Loxahatchee River and the canals and creeks that carry the town's runoff into it, where the lowest yards hold the summer's water longest

Frequently asked questions

Why is the ceiling wet above a Jupiter condo's air handler closet off the outdoor walkway?

About one Jupiter home in five is in a building of ten or more units, and many such buildings put each unit's air handler in a closet opening onto an outdoor walkway. Through the louvered door, humid outdoor air reaches the cabinet, and the cold plenum and supply duct above it sweat. The water runs into the closet ceiling. Sealing the cabinet and insulating the plenum stop most of it.

What should a Jupiter seasonal owner do about the irrigation before closing the house?

Check where each zone sprays. About one Jupiter home in seven is held for seasonal use, and a timer left running sprays stucco and soaks the ground at the slab edge on top of every June storm. With the cooling set high inside, the wetted wall dries slowly. Turning heads away from walls, or setting a rain sensor, keeps the summer's rain the only water the house takes.

Where does the rain go after it leaves a Jupiter street?

Much of the town's runoff flows directly into its canals and creeks, the Loxahatchee River and the Intracoastal Waterway, and the town counts the ocean, the inlet and the river among the waters that leave it vulnerable to flooding. Yards that slope toward those waters carry each storm's runoff past the house, and the lowest corner of the lot is where it stands longest.
