Why a Florida building stays wet: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.
Nokomis: why buildings stay damp
Across Nokomis Beach and the rest of Nokomis, a building still wet days after a leak is one phone call from a local pro. Some 845 of the 2,105 homes in Nokomis are manufactured, about two in five, with 368 septic systems on record.
The housing, by era
1978 is the median build year in Nokomis, and 84.9 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. About two homes in five are manufactured, and where a home is two sections joined, the crossover duct that carries cooled air from one half to the other can lie on or near the ground, sweating in the dampest air under the house.
Humid months and wet months
The normal dewpoint in Nokomis stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock from July through September, reaching 75.5 in August; August is the wettest month, with 8.34 of 51.27 inches, rain recorded 1.6 miles away and dewpoint 51.4 miles away. Two miles from the Gulf and about 12 feet above sea level, the town's low ground holds August's rain under raised floors, and the wrap and crossover duct beneath each home sit in that wet air until the dry season.
The soft spots here
- Crossover ducts joining the two halves of a multi-section manufactured home, lying on or near damp ground and gathering condensation along their length
- The marriage line where two sections of a home meet, where a gap in the seal lets humid air into the cooled ceiling and floor along the seam
- August rain filling low ground about 12 feet above sea level, around the drain fields of some 368 homes with septic systems on record

Frequently asked questions
What is the crossover duct under a Nokomis double-wide, and why does it get wet?
In a home built in two sections, a flexible crossover duct carries cooled air from the half with the air handler to the other half. It runs under the house, and if it sags onto the ground or its insulation is torn, the damp air there condenses on it all summer. About two homes in five in Nokomis are manufactured, so it is a common place for hidden water.
Why is there a damp line down the middle of a Nokomis manufactured home's ceiling?
That is usually the marriage line, where the two sections of the home were joined. If the seal along that seam has gaps, humid outdoor air works into the space above the ceiling and the floor below it, and against surfaces the cooling keeps cold, it condenses. A stain that follows the center of the home, end to end, points to the seam.
What does August rain do to a septic field in Nokomis?
Two miles from the Gulf, on ground about 12 feet above sea level, Nokomis counts some 368 homes with septic systems on record. By August that low ground has taken weeks of rain, and a drain field there can stop accepting water. What the household sends down then comes back toward the lowest fixture, a shower or ground-floor toilet.
