Where water lingers in Lake Worth Beach

From an air handler dripping in Lake Mango Shores to a slab that stays damp elsewhere in Lake Worth Beach, one call connects you with a local pro working the area. Lake Worth Beach was platted as Lucerne on land bought in 1912, six years after a project to drain 500,000 acres of Everglades began.

Age of the homes

Built around a median year of 1969, over four fifths of the housing (82.8 percent) in Lake Worth Beach is older than 1990, so much of it was fitted for cooling the way builders of the late 1960s went about it. In an older house raised on piers whose open crawl space was later closed in with a block or stucco skirt wall, the breezes that once crossed beneath the floor are gone, and the summer air trapped there settles its water on the cooled floor above.

Rain and humidity

Lake Worth Beach spends four months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, from June through September; of 63.69 inches in a normal year, 9.41 fall in June, rain recorded at LAKE WORTH 1.0 NNW 1 mile away and dewpoint 5.1 miles away. About a mile and a half from the open coast, the city's June downpours can arrive on an onshore wind, and where a small block house of the 1960s has eaves only a few inches deep, that rain strikes the walls and window heads directly instead of falling clear of them.

Leaks that go unseen here

  • Raised floors whose crawl spaces were closed in with block or stucco skirt walls, cutting off the cross-breeze and leaving still, humid air against the cooled floor
  • Shallow eaves on small block houses of the 1960s, which let wind-driven June rain strike walls and window heads directly
  • Aluminum window frames pitted by salt carried about a mile and a half inland, until the caulk joint between frame and block opens

Frequently asked questions

Why did closing in the crawl space make an older Lake Worth Beach floor damp?

A raised floor was built to have air moving beneath it. Where the open space under an older house has been closed in with a block or stucco skirt wall, the cross-breeze is gone, and the summer air trapped under the floor sits still against boards the cooled rooms keep cold. Water condenses on them and on the joists. Vents cut through the skirt wall on opposite sides restore the flow.

Do short eaves matter on a 1960s Lake Worth Beach block house?

They do. About a mile and a half from the open coast, a June storm can arrive on a strong onshore wind. Deep eaves throw that rain clear of the walls; eaves only a few inches deep leave the wall face, the window heads and the joints around the frames to take it directly. Stains and lifting paint below the windows on the windward side are the usual sign.

What does salt air do to the windows of an older Lake Worth Beach house?

The city's center lies about a mile and a half from the open coast, and salt carried inland on the wind settles on aluminum window frames. Over the years it pits the metal, and the caulk joint between the frame and the block wall loosens and opens. Rain driven against the wall then follows that gap inside. Rinsing the frames and renewing the caulk keeps the joint closed.
