Moisture load in Palm Beach Gardens

Water in a ceiling, wall or slab anywhere in Palm Beach Gardens is one call away from a local restoration pro. Much of Palm Beach Gardens' rain moves from community lakes and swales into the Northern district's canals and pumps, then the regional system.

When these homes went up

Since 1990, Palm Beach Gardens has added 60.6 percent of the homes it has now, though the median still dates to 1995; builders of each era set the ducts and the cold surfaces where they remain. Many yards here are built to send rain on to the community drainage system rather than hold it, and where a yard grate or swale beside a house is blocked, the water meant to leave waits at the edge of the slab instead.

When the air turns heavy

From June through September, any surface in a Palm Beach Gardens building cooler than 70 degrees, a supply duct or a cold water line, sits below the normal outdoor dewpoint at every hour; 66 inches fall in a normal year, 9.22 of them in June, rain recorded at PALM BEACH GARDENS 1.9 miles away and dewpoint 12.1 miles away. Through June the water moves from lake to lake over fixed weirs and through operable gates and pumps, so a community lake behind a house holds the rain until the structure downstream passes it on.

What holds water in Palm Beach Gardens

  • Yards graded to pass rain to the community drainage system, where a blocked grate or swale leaves the runoff standing against the slab
  • Homes backing onto community lakes that store the excess water until it drains on through weirs, gates and pumps
  • Septic tanks the city still allows where they are sound and working, at some 424 homes on record, their fields in yards built to hold swale water for a while after each storm
  • Waterfront along Little Lake Worth and the Intracoastal Waterway, where buildings take the air off the estuary through every humid month

Frequently asked questions

Who looks after the lake behind a Palm Beach Gardens house?

Usually the homeowner association. In the communities the Northern Palm Beach County Improvement District serves, associations typically maintain the community lakes and drainage, which pass water through underground pipes to the district's canals, pumps and storage areas. A lake behind a house rises after a storm and falls as those structures move the water on.

Why does rain sit in a Palm Beach Gardens yard swale after a storm?

It is meant to, for a while. The district explains that most approved drainage designs store some water temporarily in yard swales, streets and open areas, with swales sloped to catch it as it soaks into the ground. After a wet spell the groundwater is already high, so a swale holds water longer. Standing water against the house itself is the thing to watch for.

Are there still septic tanks in Palm Beach Gardens?

Some. The city allows existing, properly built and working septic systems to stay in use, and it monitors homes on them with the regional utility authority and the county health department. Some 424 Palm Beach Gardens homes have septic systems on record, and after weeks of June rain their drain fields have less room for the household's water.
