What keeps Lutz buildings wet

Water damage restoration in Lutz, including Deer Park, Holly Lake Estates, and Douglas Place, is handled by local pros working the area, whether the water came from the cooling system, a pipe or the weather. On the lots of some 2,854 Lutz homes sit a septic tank and field, so household water and summer rain meet in the yard.

The age of the buildings

About 5,092 of the 10,071 homes in Lutz were finished before 1990, around a median of 1990; a home's age can show in where its condensate drains and what its floor sits on. Where a house has a screened pool, the water from backwashing its filter, or from lowering the pool after a storm, is often let out across the lawn, and on a lot whose drain field lies downhill of the deck it soaks the same ground the household's wastewater needs.

The humid season

August is the wettest month in Lutz, with 10.92 of 57.78 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 LUTZ 2.0 E 1.2 miles away and dewpoint 13.5 miles away. About 79 feet above sea level, the town lies beyond any tide, and its August water comes down on roofs and lawns, onto pool decks and drain fields alike, where a field already taking the household's daily load has the month's storms added on top.

Where water settles in Lutz

  • Pool backwash or overflow let out across the lawn at any of the 2,854 homes with septic systems on record, soaking the drain field downhill of the deck
  • Pool decks that pitch toward the house rather than the yard, sending August rain and splash-out to the slider and the slab edge
  • Attics with both gable vents and a ridge vent, where the ridge pulls its air in through the gables and the lower attic, where the ducts lie, goes still and humid

Frequently asked questions

Can draining a pool affect a Lutz septic field?

It can. Some 2,854 Lutz homes have septic systems on record, and where a pool's filter backwash, or water let out after a heavy storm, runs across the lawn onto the drain field, it fills ground the field needs for the household's water. In August, with the rain already doing the same, that can be enough to slow the drains in the house. Sending it elsewhere helps.

Which way should a Lutz pool deck slope?

Away from the house. Where a deck pitches back toward the sliders, every August storm and every splash runs to the door and the slab edge, and the cooled room behind them keeps that water from drying fast. Puddles that form against the house rather than at the deck's outer edge show which way it falls. A drain along the edge, or regrading, turns the water away.

Why is the lower attic still and damp in a Lutz house with a ridge vent?

Where an attic has gable vents as well as a ridge vent, the ridge tends to draw its air in through the gables, which sit high, instead of through the soffits along the eaves. The low edges of the attic, where the ducts rest on the ceiling joists, then get little moving air, and humid air settles there around the cold metal. Closing the gable vents restores the low intake.
