Frequently asked questions

Does a pool make a closed house near Placida damper?

It can. Nearly half the homes across the 33946 ZIP code area are held for seasonal use, and where a closed house has a pool under a screen enclosure, the pool keeps evaporating all summer. That water stays in the air of the enclosure, right against the sliders and the lanai wall. Inside, with the cooling set high, those cooled surfaces gather it. A pool cover cuts the evaporation sharply.

Why is the ceiling of the storage room under a raised house near Placida wet?

Where a house is raised with an enclosed storage room at yard level beneath it, that room holds outdoor air, and its ceiling is the underside of the floor above. The cooling keeps that floor colder than the August air below, so water condenses on the ceiling and drips onto whatever is stored. Placida itself stands about 3 feet above sea level, so the room's floor sits on wet ground too.

What does August rain do to drain fields around Placida?

Across the 33946 ZIP code area, 382 properties have septic systems on record. In August, the wettest month, the ground around them is close to sea level and holds the rain, leaving a field little room to take the household's water. When a field fills, the water stops soaking away and rises back toward the house. A slow drain after several stormy days is the first sign.
