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

Land O' Lakes: why buildings stay damp

Across Land O' Lakes, a building still wet days after a leak is one phone call from a local pro. About 1,000 Land O' Lakes homes have septic systems on record, in a town where half the housing has gone up since 1999.

The housing, by era

Since 1990, Land O' Lakes has added 68.7 percent of the homes it has now, though the median still dates to 1999; builders of each era set the ducts and the cold surfaces where they remain. Where a house of the late 1990s carries its cooled air through an attic plenum built of fiberglass duct board, a split in the board's foil facing lets attic air into the cold fiberglass, and the water it leaves there drips through the ceiling below.

Humid months and wet months

August is the wettest month in Land O' Lakes, with 9.69 of 57.21 inches, and it falls inside the stretch, in July and August, when the normal dewpoint holds at 70 or above, peaking at 75.2 in August; rain recorded at LAND O LAKES 1.5 SSE 0.5 miles away and dewpoint 18 miles away. Beyond the reach of any tide, 18 miles from the open coast and about 85 feet above sea level, the town takes August's water from above and from the air: through the roof, the attic and the drain fields behind 1,000 homes with septic systems on record.

The soft spots here

  • Attic plenums of fiberglass duct board on late-1990s houses, where a split in the foil lets humid attic air into cold fiberglass that drips onto the ceiling
  • Rain and household water entering the same drain field through the same August weeks, across some 1,000 homes whose septic systems are on record
  • Ground about 85 feet above sea level and well beyond the tide, where water in a house traces to rain, plumbing or the cooling system rather than the sea

Frequently asked questions

What is the dripping spot on the ceiling under a Land O' Lakes attic air handler?

In many houses of the late 1990s, the supply plenum above the air handler is built of fiberglass duct board with a foil facing. Where that foil splits or a seam's tape has let go, humid attic air reaches the cold fiberglass and condenses in it, and the water drips through the ceiling below. Retaping seams and covering splits with foil tape usually ends it.

Why does a Land O' Lakes shower drain slowly late in the summer?

Land O' Lakes has 1,000 homes with septic systems on record. By late August the ground around a drain field has taken weeks of rain on top of the household's own water, and when it can take no more, the water backs toward the lowest fixture, often a shower or tub. Spreading laundry over several days until the ground firms up gives the field room again.

Could tide water ever be the source of a wet floor in Land O' Lakes?

No. The town stands about 85 feet above sea level and some 18 miles from the open coast, beyond the reach of any tide. A wet floor here comes from rain getting in, a plumbing line, a water heater, or the cooling system's condensate. Following the wet area toward the nearest of those, starting with the air handler closet, finds most of them.
