Frequently asked questions
Why is water dripping from the underside of the belly wrap on a manufactured home near Osteen?
About a third of the homes in the area are manufactured. Where the boot beneath a floor register has separated from the duct, cooled air leaks into the belly itself and chills the wrap from inside. The humid outdoor air under the home then condenses on the wrap's outer face and drips. A drip line beneath one register points to the boot above it.
Where does the water go when a drain field near Osteen fills in June?
Across the 32764 ZIP code area, 471 properties have septic systems on record. When June storms leave the soil around a field holding all it can, the household's water stops soaking away and rises back toward the house, out through the lowest drain: a tub, a shower or a ground-level toilet. Easing off water use for a few dry days gives the field room.
Why is the floor wet in the outside-door water heater closet of a manufactured home near Osteen?
Many manufactured homes put the water heater in a closet reached from outdoors, with a vented door. Outdoor air moves through it freely, and the cold water supply pipe and the fittings at the top of the tank sit cooler than that air, so they sweat. The water runs down onto the closet floor. Insulating the cold pipe and fittings ends most of it.
