Where water lingers in Montverde

From an air handler dripping into a ceiling to a slab that stays damp, one call anywhere in Montverde connects you with a local pro working the area. Montverde's median house dates from 2000, and some 656 homes in the town send their wastewater to drain fields on their own lots.

Age of the homes

Built around a median year of 2000, about a third of the housing (33.8 percent) in Montverde is older than 1990, so much of it was fitted for cooling the way builders of the early 2000s went about it. The town is mostly newer houses, and where one from around 2000 has a garage whose attic opens into the house's attic, the hot, damp garage air rises into the space where the ducts run and sits against cold metal through the summer.

Rain and humidity

Montverde spends two months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, in July and August; of 51.94 inches in a normal year, 8.52 fall in August, rain recorded at ASTATULA 1.0 E 8 miles away and dewpoint 21.1 miles away. Beyond any tide at about 72 feet above sea level, the town's drain fields through August take the household's water day after day while the month's storms fill the same ground, so a field that coped in spring has little room left by September.

Leaks that go unseen here

  • Garage attics open to the house attic in houses from around 2000, letting hot, humid garage air reach the ducts above the ceiling
  • A month of August storms on top of the household's daily water, for the 656 homes with septic systems on record
  • Attic air handlers above garages, where the pan sits over a space no one cools and its overflow line ends where no one sees it drip

Frequently asked questions

Can the garage make the attic of a newer Montverde house damp?

It can. In some houses from around 2000, the attic over the garage is open to the attic over the house. The garage fills with hot, humid outdoor air every summer day, that air rises into the shared attic, and there it meets the cooled ducts and condenses. A wall closing off the garage attic, or sealing the ducts' insulation, keeps that air away.

Why do drains slow in a Montverde house in late summer?

Because the ground fills. Some 656 Montverde homes have septic systems on record. Through August a drain field takes the household's water every day while heavy rain fills the same soil, and by the end of the month it may have little room left. The water then backs toward the house through the lowest drain. Spreading laundry over several days until the ground firms up gives it room.

Where does the overflow line from an attic air handler in Montverde end?

Usually at the eave, often above a window or over the garage door. That secondary line carries water only when the main drain has clogged and the pan beneath the air handler is filling, so a drip from it is the warning. In a house whose air handler sits above the garage, the drip may land where nobody walks, so it is worth checking during August.
