Moisture load in Miramar Beach

Water damage restoration across Miramar Beach is handled by local pros working the area, whether the water came from the cooling system, a pipe or the weather. Homes held for seasonal use outnumber all others in Miramar Beach, some 8,100 of 15,700, so a closed unit often has closed neighbors.

When these homes went up

Since 1990, Miramar Beach has added 72 percent of the homes it has now, though the median still dates to 1997; builders of each era set the ducts and the cold surfaces where they remain. Nearly half the homes are in buildings of ten or more units, and where a unit's sliding door has its weep holes packed with sand blown off the beach, the track holds the rain the wind drives into it instead of letting it out, and the water standing there wets the floor edge and the slab beneath the door.

When the air turns heavy

Miramar Beach spends two months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, in July and August; of 55.35 inches in a normal year, 6.08 fall in August, rain recorded 7.7 miles away and dewpoint at VALPARAISO EGLIN AFB 12.4 miles away. More than half the homes are held for seasonal use, and through August, the wettest month, a closed unit whose air handler's float switch has tripped on a clogged drain line stops cooling altogether, and its rooms fill with air as wet as the outdoors.

What holds water in Miramar Beach

  • Sliding door tracks packed with beach sand, which hold wind-driven rain against the floor edge instead of draining it out
  • Float switches that shut down a closed unit's cooling when its drain line clogs, leaving the rooms of a seasonal home, more than half the total, to fill with humid air
  • Ground-floor units and parking levels on ground about 8 feet above sea level, under a mile from the Gulf, where a downpour has little fall to drain away

Frequently asked questions

How does sand in a Miramar Beach condo's sliding door leave the floor wet after a windy storm?

A sliding door's track has small weep holes that let rain blown into it drain back outside. Within a mile of the beach, wind carries sand into those holes until they close. Then the track fills with wind-driven rain and holds it, and the water soaks the floor edge and the slab under the door. Vacuuming the track and clearing each weep hole keeps it draining.

Why was a closed Miramar Beach unit warm and damp with the cooling switched on?

More than half the homes in Miramar Beach are held for seasonal use. Many air handlers carry a float switch that shuts the system down when the drain line clogs and the pan fills, so the water stays in the pan. In a closed unit that means the cooling stops in the middle of August, and the rooms take on the full outdoor humidity until the line is cleared.

Why does rain stand beside ground-floor units in Miramar Beach?

The town's center stands about 8 feet above sea level and under a mile from the Gulf, so its ground has little fall for a heavy rain to run toward. Water from an August downpour collects beside ground-floor units, at parking-level doors and along slab edges, and stays until the ground can take it. Those are the places to check after a storm.
