Why a Florida building stays wet: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.
How long a Orange Park wall stays wet
Water damage restoration across Orange Park is handled by local pros working the area, whether the water came from the cooling system, a pipe or the weather. About 550 of Orange Park's 3,700 homes share buildings of ten or more units; the town stands about 23 feet above sea level.
The structures themselves
About 3,143 of the 3,728 homes in Orange Park were finished before 1990, around a median of 1974; a home's age can show in where its condensate drains and what its floor sits on. The pan beneath an attic air handler set above the hallway is all that stands between the coil's daily water and the ceiling, and in a house of the mid-1970s an original pan may have rusted thin at the corners where water sits longest.
Weather behind the risk
The air over Orange Park carries the most water in August, when the normal dewpoint reaches 73.9 degrees, and in July and August it does not drop below 70 even overnight; June brings 7.65 of the 53.35 inches a year, rain recorded at ORANGE PARK 4.1 WSW 4.1 miles away and dewpoint 4.9 miles away. The attic around an air handler like this fills, in June, the wettest month, with air as wet as the outdoors, and the cold metal cabinet and the refrigerant line where it enters sweat and drip onto the pan's rim and the platform beside it.
What to check in Orange Park
- Air handlers in the attics of mid-1970s houses, set over the hallway, where an original pan rusted thin is all that holds the coil's water above the ceiling
- The cabinet and refrigerant line of an attic air handler, sweating in June attic air and dripping beside the pan rather than into it
- Upper units' condensate lines emptying onto the roof below and keeping one patch of it wet every cooling day, in buildings of ten or more units that hold about one home in seven

Frequently asked questions
What is behind a stain on the hallway ceiling of an older Orange Park house?
A pan beneath an attic air handler catches the coil's water and any overflow, and in a house of the mid-1970s with the unit above the hallway, an original pan of that age may have rusted thin at the corners, where water sits longest. Once it pinholes, the water goes straight into the ceiling. A rust-stained pan or a ring on the ceiling under the unit is the sign.
Why does an attic air handler in Orange Park drip outside its pan?
In June the attic air is as humid as the outdoors, and the air handler's metal cabinet and the cold refrigerant line entering it run colder than that air. Where the cabinet's insulation has come loose or the line's foam sleeve stops short, they sweat, and the water runs off beside the pan rather than into it, onto the platform and ceiling. Wrapping those cold surfaces keeps the water where the pan can catch it.
Where do the condensate lines from upper apartments in Orange Park drain?
An upper unit's condensate line run out to empty onto the roof of the floor below puts water on one spot of that roof every day the cooling runs, and about one Orange Park home in seven is in a building of ten or more units. The roofing there stays wet through the summer and wears fastest. A line carried to a gutter or down to the ground keeps the roof dry.
