What keeps Melbourne buildings wet

Water damage restoration in Melbourne, including Eau Gallie and Downtown Melbourne, is handled by local pros working the area, whether the water came from the cooling system, a pipe or the weather. The century-old M-1 Canal cuts the old divide between the St. Johns River and Indian River Lagoon, draining 5,300 acres around Melbourne.

The age of the buildings

The median home in Melbourne was built in 1985, with 62.6 percent standing before 1990; when a house went up tends to decide where its air handler sits and how far its ducts run through attic heat. In Melbourne some 7,130 homes are in buildings of ten or more units, and where an upstairs air handler's backup drain line ends above the patio door of the unit below, a steady drip there means the upper unit's main drain has clogged, and the downstairs household sees it first.

The humid season

Melbourne spends three months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, from July through September; of 55.28 inches in a normal year, 8.55 fall in September, rain recorded at MELBOURNE WFO 0.6 miles away and dewpoint at MELBOURNE INTL AP 1.3 miles away. Stormwater from some 5,300 acres in and around Melbourne runs east through the M-1 Canal and Crane Creek to the Indian River Lagoon, and a district weir now holds the canal's flood capacity while its base flow is pumped west for treatment, so lots along its banks sit beside the runoff of every September storm.

Where water settles in Melbourne

  • Backup condensate lines from upstairs air handlers that end over the patio or entry of the unit below, where a drip is the first sign of a clogged main drain
  • Lots along the M-1 Canal, which carries runoff from some 5,300 acres east to Crane Creek and the lagoon, where the ground nearest the bank stays wettest
  • The 607 Melbourne homes with septic systems on record, whose drain fields sit in ground about 29 feet up that September's storms have already filled

Frequently asked questions

What does a drip above a downstairs Melbourne patio door mean?

Often that the unit above has a clogged drain. Some 7,130 Melbourne homes are in buildings of ten or more units, and in some, an upstairs air handler's backup drain line is run out to end above the patio or door of the unit below. Water dripping from it means the main line has stopped and the backup pan is filling, so the upstairs drain is the one to clear.

What is the M-1 Canal that runs through Melbourne?

A century-old flood control canal that cuts through the old divide between the St. Johns River and the Indian River Lagoon. It gathers stormwater from about 5,300 acres in and around Melbourne and sends it east through Crane Creek to the lagoon. A weir added by the water management district keeps that flood capacity while pumping the canal's base flow west for treatment.

How does September rain affect a Melbourne septic system?

It fills the ground first. Melbourne has some 607 homes with septic systems on record, on ground standing about 29 feet above sea level. By September, after weeks of storms, the soil around the drain field already holds much of the season's rain, so household water has less room to go, and slow drains or a gurgling tub are the first signs.
