Why a Florida building stays wet: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.
What keeps New Smyrna Beach buildings wet
Water in a ceiling, wall or slab in New Smyrna Beach, from Beacon, Lymestone Ranch, and Bouchelle Island across town, is one call away from a local restoration pro. Near one New Smyrna Beach home in five, roughly 4,280, is held for seasonal use, often its cooling left running in shut rooms.
The age of the buildings
1989 is the median build year in New Smyrna Beach, and 52.9 percent of the stock went up before 1990, an age that tends to settle whether the ductwork runs overhead through the attic or below the floor. Where an inside bathroom in one of the 6,120 or so homes here in buildings of ten or more units sends its fan's air along a long duct above the ceiling to an outside wall, the shower steam cools in that run, gathers as water in the low spots and drips back out through the fan grille.
The humid season
New Smyrna Beach spends two months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, in July and August; of 50.56 inches in a normal year, 7.45 fall in June, rain recorded at NEW SMYRNA BCH - MARINE DISCOV 2.3 miles away and dewpoint 24.5 miles away. On ground only about 5 feet above sea level, the wet season lifts the water table close beneath a ground-floor slab, and in a unit closed for the summer, boxes, rolled rugs and luggage stored flat on that floor take up its damp from below.
Where water settles in New Smyrna Beach
- Long bathroom exhaust ducts above the ceilings of units in buildings of ten or more, where shower steam condenses in the run and drips back out of the fan grille
- Rugs, boxes and luggage stored flat on ground-floor slabs in seasonal units, nearly one home in five, soaking up damp rising from the water table beneath
- Septic trenches behind 451 homes on record, where the wet season leaves little soil between the bottom of each trench and the water table

Frequently asked questions
What makes the bathroom fan grille drip in a New Smyrna Beach condo?
Water from its own duct. Some 6,120 New Smyrna Beach homes are in buildings of ten or more units, and an inside bathroom often vents through a long duct above the ceiling to an outside wall. Shower steam cools along that run, condenses in any low spot and runs back toward the fan, dripping from the grille. A duct that slopes toward the outside lets the water leave instead.
Should belongings be stored on the floor of a closed New Smyrna Beach unit?
Better off it. Nearly one New Smyrna Beach home in five is held for seasonal use, and the town stands only about 5 feet above sea level. In the wet season the water table rises close beneath a ground-floor slab, and the concrete passes that damp upward. Rugs, cardboard and luggage resting flat on it take it in through the summer; shelves or raised feet keep them clear.
How does the wet season affect a New Smyrna Beach drain field?
It narrows the room the field has to work in. New Smyrna Beach has some 451 homes with septic systems on record, on ground about 5 feet above sea level. As the summer rains raise the water table, the soil between the bottom of each trench and the water shrinks, so household water drains away more slowly, and tubs and toilets on the lowest floor show it first.
