Why a Florida building stays wet: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.
Moisture load in Middleburg
From an air handler dripping into a ceiling to a slab that stays damp, one call anywhere in Middleburg connects you with a local pro working the area. About two in five Middleburg homes are manufactured, and 2,096 have septic systems on record, drain fields sharing the yard.
When these homes went up
Since 1990, Middleburg has added 62.9 percent of the homes it has now, though the median still dates to 1994; builders of each era set the ducts and the cold surfaces where they remain. About two homes in five here are manufactured, and where the ground beneath one has no plastic sheet laid over it, the bare soil gives its water up into the enclosed space all summer, so the belly sits over air fed with moisture from below as well as from outside.
When the air turns heavy
Middleburg spends two months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, in July and August; of 53.35 inches in a normal year, 7.65 fall in June, rain recorded 10.4 miles away and dewpoint 18.9 miles away. In June, the wettest month, where a home's drain field lies close to it on the same lot, the field and the soil under the floor fill with water together, and the space inside the skirting takes on moisture from the rain and from the field's soaked ground at once.
What holds water in Middleburg
- Bare soil inside the skirting of manufactured homes, about two in five, giving water up into the space beneath the floor through the whole humid season
- Drain fields close beside manufactured homes on the same lot, where a field holding June's rain keeps the ground under the floor wet too
- Plastic ground sheets torn or pushed aside during work under a home, leaving patches of bare soil that feed damp air to the belly

Frequently asked questions
Should the ground under a Middleburg manufactured home be covered?
About two in five Middleburg homes are manufactured. Bare soil under a home gives up water into the enclosed space beneath it all summer, so the air around the belly and the cooled ducts is fed from the ground as well as from outdoors. A sheet of heavy plastic laid over the soil, with its seams overlapped, cuts off much of that moisture.
Does a drain field near a Middleburg manufactured home affect the space underneath?
It can. Some 2,096 homes in Middleburg have septic systems on record, and where a drain field lies close to the home on the same lot, the field and the soil under the floor share the same ground. In June, the wettest month, the field fills with rain and household water together, and the ground beneath the home stays wet with it, feeding damp air up toward the floor.
What should be checked under a Middleburg manufactured home after a repair?
Work beneath a home, on plumbing, ducts or the belly, often means crawling over the plastic sheet on the ground, and it can be torn or pushed aside. Every patch of bare soil left open gives water to the air under the floor through the humid months. Looking over the sheet once the work is done, and laying patches over any tears, keeps that ground covered.
