Where water lingers in Panama City Beach

Across Shorewalk and the rest of Panama City Beach, a building still wet days after a leak is one phone call from a local pro. Three in five homes in Panama City Beach, some 12,640, share buildings of ten or more units, where one unit's leak can reach another.

Age of the homes

2001 is the median build year in Panama City Beach, and 29.7 percent of the stock went up before 1990, an age that tends to settle whether the ductwork runs overhead through the attic or below the floor. Seasonal owners hold more than half the homes, and where a closed unit's cooling is shut off in a building whose corridors stay cooled, its hot, wet air slips out under and around the entry door, so a damp ring forms on the corridor side of the frame.

Rain and humidity

Panama City Beach spends two months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, in July and August; of 65.38 inches in a normal year, 9.08 fall in August, rain recorded at PANAMA CITY BEACH 5.9 WNW 3.8 miles away and dewpoint at TYNDALL AFB 21 miles away. In a tall building cooled through the summer, the cold, heavy air inside presses out low and draws the humid Gulf air in high, so units near the top of a tower built around 2001 take outdoor air through every gap in their walls and windows.

Leaks that go unseen here

  • Closed seasonal units, more than half the homes, whose cooling is off while the corridor outside is cooled, leaving a damp ring around the entry door frame
  • Upper-floor units in tall buildings, where cooled air sinking inside pulls humid outdoor air in through gaps around windows and outlets
  • Bedrooms in closed units whose doors are shut for the season, cut off from the return so the room's air goes humid while the hall stays cool

Frequently asked questions

What leaves a damp stain around the door of a closed Panama City Beach condo?

The unit's own air. More than half the homes in Panama City Beach are held for seasonal use. When a closed unit's cooling is shut off, its air turns hot and wet, while the corridor outside stays cooled. That air seeps out under and around the entry door and meets the cool frame and hallway wall, where it leaves water as a dark ring.

Why do top-floor units in a Panama City Beach tower take in more humid air?

Because of how cooled air moves in a tall building. Three in five homes here are in buildings of ten or more units. Cold air inside is heavy, so it presses outward on the lowest floors and draws outdoor air in on the highest. Near the top, humid Gulf air enters through every gap around windows, sliders and outlets, wetting the walls it passes through.

Should bedroom doors be shut in a Panama City Beach unit closed for the season?

Better left open. Where the cooling keeps running in a closed unit, a bedroom whose door is shut loses its path back to the return, so little cooled air passes through it. Its air turns humid while the hall stays cool, and the bedding, closet and window wall in that room take up the water. An open door keeps the whole unit in reach of the cooling.
