Why a Florida building stays wet: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.

Moisture load in Naples

Water in a ceiling, wall or slab in Naples, from The Moorings, The Glades, and Coquina Sands across town, is one call away from a local restoration pro. Naples Bay now gathers runoff from about 120 square miles, more than ten times its historic watershed, since canals were dug far inland.

When these homes went up

About 12,231 of the 18,902 homes in Naples were finished before 1990, around a median of 1983; a home's age can show in where its condensate drains and what its floor sits on. Towers and other buildings of ten or more units hold more than half the homes here, and about two in five are held for seasonal use, and in a cooled tower the chilled air inside settles and leaks out low, drawing outdoor air in through gaps at the sliders and windows of the upper floors, so a unit closed high in the building takes in the summer's humidity steadily.

When the air turns heavy

August is the wettest month in Naples, with 8.89 of 49.55 inches, and it falls inside the stretch, from July through September, when the normal dewpoint holds at 70 or above, peaking at 75.5 in August; rain recorded at NAPLES MUNI AP 1.2 miles away and dewpoint 26.8 miles away. Runoff from about 120 square miles reaches Naples Bay through August, the wettest month, and a lot in Port Royal or Aqualane Shores, the first neighborhoods dredged into canals for waterfront in the 1950s, sits on water fed by that inland rain, so the strip of yard between the house and the canal is the last ground on the lot to dry.

What holds water in Naples

  • Upper-floor units in cooled towers, more than half the city's homes being in such buildings, where outdoor air is drawn in at the sliders and windows high up and a unit closed for the season takes it in steadily
  • Canal-front lots in Port Royal and Aqualane Shores, dredged for waterfront in the 1950s, where the yard between house and canal dries last after a storm
  • Small stormwater lakes dug across the city's neighborhoods where lakes were once absent, putting yards beside water that rises after each heavy rain

Frequently asked questions

Why is a closed condominium high in a Naples tower damp when the owners return?

Naples has more than half its homes in buildings of ten or more units, and about two in five are held for seasonal use. In a cooled tower the chilled air inside is heavier than the outdoor air, so it leaks out near the bottom of the building and draws outdoor air in near the top, through gaps at sliders and windows. A unit closed high in the building takes in that humid air all summer.

How much land drains into Naples Bay?

About 120 square miles, more than ten times its historic drainage area, according to the regional water management district. Canals dug inland for development, the Golden Gate system among them, now carry runoff to the Gordon River and the bay. In the 1950s Port Royal and Aqualane Shores were the first neighborhoods to dredge canals for waterfront lots, and yards backing onto those canals sit beside that water.

Why are there small lakes in so many Naples neighborhoods?

Many were dug for drainage. As neighborhoods such as the Moorings, Port Royal and Royal Harbor gained drainage systems in the late 1960s and early 1970s, many small lakes were built to deal with drainage, in an area where lakes had been notably absent. A lot backing onto one sits beside water that rises after a heavy August rain, so its lanai and slab edge on that side dry last.
