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

What keeps Lithia buildings wet

Water in a ceiling, wall or slab anywhere in Lithia is one call away from a local restoration pro. Some 896 manufactured homes stand among mostly newer houses across the 33547 ZIP code area around Lithia, their floors raised over open air.

The age of the buildings

The 33547 ZIP code area around Lithia has a median home built in 2007, and 14.3 percent of its homes date from before 1990. Much of the area's housing is recent, and where a two-story house of that era has its upstairs air handler in a hall closet, the condensate line may run down inside an interior wall to reach a drain, so a joint that lets go wets that wall from within, a floor below the unit.

The humid season

Lithia spends two months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, in July and August; of 57.15 inches in a normal year, 9.66 fall in August, rain recorded at BLOOMINGDALE 7.6 ESE 2.2 miles away and dewpoint 23.6 miles away. Beyond any tide at about 106 feet above sea level, a house here meets August's water at the base of its stucco, where sod or mulch built up against the wall keeps the lowest course wet between storms.

Where water settles in Lithia

  • Condensate lines from upstairs air handlers run down inside the interior walls of two-story houses, where a loose joint wets the wall a floor below
  • Stucco walls whose weep screed at the base is buried under sod, mulch or pavers, holding August rain behind the stucco at the bottom of the wall
  • Drain fields at the 817 properties across the ZIP code area with septic systems on record, taking August's rain along with the household's water

Frequently asked questions

What leaves a damp patch low on an interior wall of a two-story house near Lithia?

Much of the housing around Lithia is recent, and where a two-story house has its upstairs air handler in a hall closet, the condensate line may run down inside an interior wall to a drain below. Every hour the cooling runs, that line carries water, and a joint that slips or cracks soaks the wall from inside. A damp patch directly below the air handler closet points to it.

What is the metal strip at the bottom of the stucco on a house near Lithia for?

That is the weep screed, the edge where the stucco stops a few inches above the ground. It lets any rain that gets behind the stucco drain out at the bottom of the wall. Where sod, mulch or pavers have been built up over it, that water has no way out, and the base of the wall stays wet through August. Keeping the strip clear lets it work.

Where should the downspouts on a house near Lithia empty?

Well away from the wall. Where a downspout ends at the foundation, every August downpour drops the water from a whole section of roof at one corner of the house, and it soaks the base of the stucco and the slab edge there. An extension or splash block that carries it a few feet out, onto ground sloping away, keeps that corner from staying wet between storms.
