Where water lingers in North Palm Beach

Across North Palm Beach, a building still wet days after a leak is one phone call from a local pro. North Palm Beach's drainage pipes, swales and ponds are several decades old, and the village reports numerous failures in the system each year.

Age of the homes

Built around a median year of 1972, close to nine in ten of the housing (86.7 percent) in North Palm Beach is older than 1990, so much of it was fitted for cooling the way builders of the early 1970s went about it. More than half the homes here are in buildings of ten or more units, and where a building of the early 1970s carries its concrete floor slab straight out to form the balconies, the cooled floor inside chills the balcony slab near the wall, and water condenses on its underside, over the balcony below.

Rain and humidity

The air over North Palm Beach carries the most water in August, when the normal dewpoint reaches 75.5 degrees, and from June through September it does not drop below 70 even overnight; August brings 8.95 of the 61.66 inches a year, rain recorded at PALM BEACH SHORES 1.4 N 2.1 miles away and dewpoint 9.7 miles away. On ground about 7 feet above sea level, an August downpour depends on the village's decades-old pipes, swales and ponds to leave, and where part of that system has failed, the water stands at the curb and against the lowest slabs of the buildings beside it.

Leaks that go unseen here

  • Balcony slabs cast as one piece with the cooled floor inside early-1970s buildings, where the chilled concrete sweats on its underside above the balcony below
  • Kitchen and vanity cabinets shut tight against outside walls in seasonal units, about one home in six, where the cooled air never reaches the cabinet backs
  • Decades-old drainage pipes, swales and ponds on ground about 7 feet above sea level, where a failed section leaves an August downpour standing against the lowest slabs

Frequently asked questions

Why does the ceiling of a North Palm Beach balcony drip on a dry morning?

More than half the homes here are in buildings of ten or more units. Where a building of the early 1970s has its balconies cast as extensions of the concrete floor slab, the slab carries the cold of the cooled unit outward. Near the wall, the balcony's underside runs colder than the humid outdoor air, and water condenses on it and drips onto the balcony below.

Why are the cabinet backs damp in a North Palm Beach condo closed for the summer?

Seasonal use accounts for about one home in six here. In a closed unit with the cooling set high, the little cooled air that moves through the rooms never reaches inside shut cabinets, and where a kitchen or vanity cabinet stands against an outside wall, the air inside it stays as damp as the wall. Leaving cabinet doors ajar lets the drier room air in.

Why does water stand on some North Palm Beach streets after an August storm?

The village drains through a network of pipes, gutters, swales, waterways and ponds that has been in place for several decades, and the village says the system now experiences numerous failures each year. On ground about 7 feet above sea level, a downpour has little fall to leave by, so where a section has failed, water stands at the curb and against the lowest slabs.
