Humidity & Moisture Drying Mulberry, FL
When the outdoor air is wetter than the building, opening windows adds water. Drying means a closed building and conditioned air. The building is closed to outdoor air and its air is dehumidified, because in the humid season outside air adds water. Materials are read until they match unaffected material in the same building, including inside block and slab.

Often needed alongside
- AC Condensate & Drain Line Leaks
An air conditioner makes water every day it runs. When its drain clogs or its pan cracks, that water goes into the ceiling or the slab.
- Wind-Driven Rain Intrusion
Wind pushes rain sideways through window frames, stucco and the base of the wall. The roof can hold and the house still take water.
Frequently asked questions
Can shower steam get into the ducts under a Mulberry manufactured home?
Where the bathroom has a floor register, yes. More than two in five Mulberry homes are manufactured, with their supply ducts in the belly beneath the floor. When the cooling cycles off, warm steam from the shower settles into the still register and down into the duct, where it condenses on the metal. A rusted register or a damp spot below the bathroom is the sign.
What dampens the floor of a bay window in a Mulberry manufactured home?
Where a bay or box window projects past the side of the home, its small floor hangs outside the belly wrap and often has little insulation beneath it. The room cools that floor from above while humid July air moves under it, so water condenses on the underside and soaks into the decking. Insulating and closing in the bay's underside keeps that air off it.
Should a bathroom in a Mulberry manufactured home have its own exhaust fan?
It helps a great deal. Without a fan ducted outdoors, each shower's steam settles on the room's coolest surfaces and, where there is a floor register, down into the duct below. A fan run for a while after each shower carries that water outside instead. Mulberry stands some 115 feet above sea level, so water in a home here comes from inside or above, not the tide.
