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

What keeps LaBelle buildings wet

Water damage restoration across LaBelle is handled by local pros working the area, whether the water came from the cooling system, a pipe or the weather. LaBelle's nature park lies along the Caloosahatchee River, which runs about 75 miles from Lake Okeechobee to the Gulf of Mexico.

The age of the buildings

Built around a median year of 1987, roughly two thirds of the housing (62.7 percent) in LaBelle is older than 1990, so much of it was fitted for cooling the way builders of the late 1980s went about it. Manufactured homes make up close to a quarter of the town, and where one has settled out of level on its piers, the air handler's drain pan tilts away from its outlet, so the water it gathers each afternoon spills over the low edge onto the floor decking.

The humid season

June is the wettest month in LaBelle, with 10.06 of 55.35 inches, and it falls ahead of the stretch, from July through September, when the normal dewpoint holds at 70 or above, peaking at 75.5 in August; rain recorded at LA BELLE 2.3 WNW 3.3 miles away and dewpoint 22.6 miles away. June's long humid afternoons keep the cooling running for hours, and in an older manufactured home with storm windows over its original sashes, outdoor air seeping into the gap meets cooled inner glass and leaves water running down onto the sill.

Where water settles in LaBelle

  • Manufactured homes, close to a quarter of the town, that have settled out of level on their piers, tipping the air handler's pan away from its drain
  • Storm windows over the original sashes of older manufactured homes, where humid air in the gap condenses on the cooled inner glass and pools on the sill
  • Window sills and wall bottoms below those windows, where water running off the glass soaks into the trim and the wall panel beneath it
  • A full drain field after June's rain at any of the 173 homes with septic systems on record, pushing water back toward the lowest drain in the house

Frequently asked questions

Can a LaBelle manufactured home that is out of level cause a leak?

It can. Close to a quarter of LaBelle's homes are manufactured, and a home that has settled on its piers tilts everything inside it, including the air handler's drain pan. When the pan leans away from its outlet, the water the coil pulls from the air collects at the low corner and spills over onto the floor decking. Releveling the home brings the drain back into line.

What leaves water between the panes of an older LaBelle manufactured home's windows?

Where an older home has storm windows over its original sashes, the gap between them takes in outdoor air. In June that air is humid, and the inner glass is cooled by the room, so water condenses on it and runs down onto the sill. Wet sills and stained trim below the windows are the usual sign.

How close is LaBelle to the Caloosahatchee River?

The town sits on it. The county's nature park in LaBelle lies along the Caloosahatchee, and its boat ramp is on the north bank just over the bridge in town. The river runs about 75 miles from Lake Okeechobee to the Gulf of Mexico, and homes near its banks take air that has crossed the water on the way to them.
