Where water lingers in Oviedo

From an air handler dripping in Retreat At Lake Charm and The Preserve at Lake Charm to a slab that stays damp elsewhere in Oviedo, one call connects you with a local pro working the area. Oviedo drains to four basins, Lake Jesup, the Little Econlockhatchee and Econlockhatchee rivers, and Lake Howell, the city's stormwater page says.

Age of the homes

The median home in Oviedo was built in 1997, with 30.7 percent standing before 1990; when a house went up tends to decide where its air handler sits and how far its ducts run through attic heat. About seven homes in ten here were built in 1990 or later, and where a house of that era has its air handler in a hall closet or the garage, the pan beneath it and the drain line leaving it carry water every day the cooling runs, which makes them the first place to look for a leak.

Rain and humidity

Oviedo spends two months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, in July and August; of 53.89 inches in a normal year, 8.31 fall in June, rain recorded at CHULUOTA 0.9 N 4.1 miles away and dewpoint 8.8 miles away. The rain that falls on the city runs off toward one of its four basins, and where a lot sits on the low side of its street, June's downpours cross it on their way, so its yard and slab edge are the last on the block to dry.

Leaks that go unseen here

  • Air handler pans and drain lines in houses built since 1990, about seven in ten homes, where a clogged line lets the cooling's daily water spill into a closet or garage
  • June's rain and the household's water arriving together in the drain fields of some 1,300 homes with septic systems on record, as the city studies connecting existing septic systems to sewer
  • Homes near the Econlockhatchee River, which gathers some 228 square miles of drainage upstream of Oviedo and carries water from far beyond the city after heavy rain

Frequently asked questions

Where should an Oviedo homeowner look first for water from the cooling system?

About seven Oviedo homes in ten were built in 1990 or later. Where a house of that era has its air handler in a hall closet or the garage, a pan beneath it and a drain line carry away the water the cooling pulls from the air. If that line clogs, the pan fills and spills, so a wet closet floor or a stain on the garage slab is the first sign.

Is Oviedo moving homes from septic systems to sewer?

The city received a grant for a study to identify and locate existing septic systems and plan their connection to its wastewater system. Some 1,300 Oviedo homes have septic systems on record. Until a home is connected, its drain field takes June's rain along with the household's water, and a field that has filled sends water back toward the house through its drains.

Where does the rain that falls in Oviedo go?

The city drains to four basins: Lake Jesup, the Little Econlockhatchee River, the Econlockhatchee River and Lake Howell. The Econlockhatchee gathers water from a large area; some 228 square miles drain to it upstream of Oviedo, and the city is developing a real-time flood forecasting tool for both Econlockhatchee basins. Lots on the low side of a street take runoff on its way downhill.
