Why a Florida building stays wet: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.

What keeps Key Largo buildings wet

Water in a ceiling, wall or slab in Key Largo, from Key Largo Park across town, is one call away from a local restoration pro. Nearly a third of Key Largo's 8,700 homes are seasonal, about 1,380 are manufactured, and the ground stands roughly 8 feet above sea level.

The age of the buildings

About 5,988 of the 8,740 homes in Key Largo were finished before 1990, around a median of 1983; a home's age can show in where its condensate drains and what its floor sits on. Nearly a third of the homes here are held for seasonal use, and when an owner arrives and sets the thermostat far down to cool a closed house quickly, the supply grilles and the ducts behind them go cold while the room air still holds the summer's water, which beads on the grilles and drips onto the floor and furniture below.

The humid season

The normal dewpoint in Key Largo stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock from June through September, reaching 76.4 in August; September is the wettest month, with 8.18 of 56.95 inches, rain recorded at JOHN PENNEKAMP SP 6.3 miles away and dewpoint 25 miles away. About a mile from the open coast and some 8 feet above sea level, the skirting and belly wrap of a manufactured home gather salt carried on the wind off the water, and through September, the wettest month, that salt holds moisture against the underside of the home from one storm to the next.

Where water settles in Key Largo

  • Supply grilles and ducts in seasonal houses, about a third of the homes, that sweat and drip when an arriving owner sets the cooling far down
  • Salt from the nearby water settling on the skirting and belly wrap of manufactured homes, about one in six, and holding moisture against the underside
  • Gaps where pipes pass through the floor of a manufactured home, letting the damp, salty air from beneath rise into the sink cabinets

Frequently asked questions

Why do the vents drip in a Key Largo house the day it is opened up?

Nearly a third of Key Largo's homes are held for seasonal use. A house closed for the summer is full of humid air when its owner returns, and setting the thermostat far down to cool it fast chills the supply grilles and ducts long before that air is dried. Water beads on the grilles and drips. Lowering the setting a few degrees at a time lets the system dry the air as it cools.

What does salt do under a Key Largo manufactured home?

Key Largo stands about a mile from the open coast and some 8 feet above sea level. Wind off the water carries salt that settles on the skirting and the belly wrap of a manufactured home, and salt draws moisture out of humid air and holds it. Through September, the underside of the home stays damp between storms. Rinsing the skirting with fresh water after a windy spell removes some of that salt.

Why is the floor of the sink cabinet damp in a Key Largo manufactured home?

The openings cut where water and drain pipes pass through the floor into a sink cabinet can be larger than the pipes, and in a manufactured home, the type of about one Key Largo home in six, the damp air beneath rises through the gap. Inside the cooled house, that air settles on the cabinet floor and the cold pipes. Sealing around the pipes from inside the cabinet closes the path.
