First question at the door: where is the water coming from?

Why a Florida building stays wet: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.

How long a Penney Farms wall stays wet

Water in a ceiling, wall or slab anywhere in Penney Farms is one call away from a local restoration pro. Penney Farms' Memorial Home Community, built from 1926 for retired religious workers, lists 24 historic buildings of stucco and brick under ceramic roofs.

The structures themselves

Since 1990, Penney Farms has added 12.9 percent of the homes it has now, though the median still dates to 1954; builders of each era set the ducts and the cold surfaces where they remain. A 1950s slab poured on bare ground, with no plastic sheet beneath, passes the soil's moisture up through the concrete into whatever covers it, and where vinyl tile or carpet lies tight over such a floor, the water is held at the surface.

Weather behind the risk

Penney Farms spends two months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, in July and August; of 53.07 inches in a normal year, 7.3 fall in June, rain recorded 8.1 miles away and dewpoint 19.5 miles away. Well above any tide at about 91 feet, the town takes June's rain on brick, stucco and tile, where cooling added to the older apartment buildings after they were built can leave condensate tubing dripping down the outside face of the masonry.

What to check in Penney Farms

  • Slabs of 1950s houses poured without a plastic sheet beneath, passing the soil's moisture up into the vinyl tile and carpet laid over them
  • Brick and stucco walls on the Memorial Home Community's historic buildings, where rain soaked into the masonry dries slowly through the humid months
  • Condensate tubing from cooling added to older apartment buildings, run out through the wall and left to drip down the masonry, keeping one strip of it wet

Frequently asked questions

Why does the floor of a 1950s Penney Farms house feel damp under the rug?

A slab from the 1950s poured straight on the ground, with no plastic sheet beneath, lets the soil's moisture rise through the concrete all year. Bare concrete lets it go into the room, but vinyl tile, carpet or a rug laid tight over the slab holds it at the surface. Lifting a corner along an outside wall shows whether the slab is wet.

What are the historic buildings in Penney Farms built of?

The Memorial Home Community, built from 1926 as a retirement community for religious workers, is listed on the National Register with 24 historic buildings. Its nomination gives their walls as stucco and brick, with stucco foundations and ceramic roofs. Masonry like that takes in rain through the wet months rather than shedding all of it, and gives it back slowly in humid air.

What causes a wet streak down the brick wall of an older Penney Farms apartment building?

Some of the homes in Penney Farms are in buildings of ten or more units. Where cooling was added to an older masonry building, the water each unit's coil collects is often carried out through the wall in a small tube and left to drip down the face. Every cooling day it wets the same strip of brick and stucco. Extending the tube to the ground or a drain ends it.
