Where water lingers in North Fort Myers

Across Morse Shores, Tropical Palm Mobile Home Park, and Crystal Lakes MHP and the rest of North Fort Myers, a building still wet days after a leak is one phone call from a local pro. About half of North Fort Myers' homes are manufactured, one in six is held for seasonal use, and 2,298 have septic systems on record.

Age of the homes

1986 is the median build year in North Fort Myers, and 63.1 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 half the homes are manufactured, and where one has interior wall panels faced with vinyl, that face stops water vapor at the cooled room, so humid air working into the wall from outside condenses on the back of the panel and stays there.

Rain and humidity

North Fort Myers spends three months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, from July through September; of 62.39 inches in a normal year, 11.3 fall in June, rain recorded at BUCKINGHAM 1.7 SE 9.1 miles away and dewpoint 9.2 miles away. Through June, the wettest month, a manufactured home with a metal roof-over fastened above its original roof collects water in the gap between the two, because on clear nights the metal cools below the temperature of the humid air beneath it and drips onto the old roof.

Leaks that go unseen here

  • Vinyl-faced interior wall panels in manufactured homes, about half the town, where humid air entering the wall condenses on the panel's back and cannot pass through
  • Metal roof-overs fastened above original roofs, where the metal chills on clear nights and drips condensation onto the old roof beneath it
  • A drain field behind any of the 2,298 homes with septic systems on record, which in the wettest weeks can push water back up through a manufactured home's tub
  • Vinyl-faced walls holding whatever humid air works into them while seasonal homes, about one in six, sit closed for the summer with the cooling set high

Frequently asked questions

Why is the back of a wall panel wet in a North Fort Myers manufactured home?

About half the homes in North Fort Myers are manufactured, and many have interior wall panels faced with vinyl. That vinyl stops water vapor at the room side, so humid air that works into the wall from outside meets the panel's back, cooled by the rooms, and condenses there. It cannot escape inward, so it stays. Soft or bowed panels on exterior walls are the sign.

Why does water drip under a metal roof-over in North Fort Myers when it has not rained?

A roof-over is a metal roof fastened above a manufactured home's original roof. On clear nights the metal loses heat to the sky and turns colder than the humid air in the gap beneath it, so water condenses on its underside and drips onto the old roof. Through June it can be a nightly load. Vents at the eaves and ridge of the roof-over keep that gap's air moving.

What happens to a North Fort Myers drain field after a week of June downpours?

A week of heavy June rain leaves the soil around a drain field full, so the household's water has nowhere left to soak in and rises toward the lowest fixture in the home, a tub or shower. North Fort Myers has some 2,298 homes with septic systems on record. Holding off on laundry and long showers for a few dry days lets the field recover.
