What fails in Polk City
Serving Polk City and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
The median home in Polk City was built in 2007, with 32.2 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 one structure in ten is a manufactured home, and where its cold water supply lines run beneath the floor, they pass through the same enclosed summer air as the ducts, and water arriving from the main colder than that air leaves the pipes sweating onto the ground and the wrap.
Climate & seasonal risk
Polk City spends two months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, in July and August; of 53.08 inches in a normal year, 8.43 fall in June, rain recorded 6.3 miles away and dewpoint 35.4 miles away. Far above any tide at about 148 feet, a newer house here can draw June's water in through its own fans: a powered attic fan pulls cooled air up through ceiling gaps, and the house replaces it with humid outdoor air through every crack.
What keeps buildings wet here
- Cold water supply lines beneath manufactured homes, about one structure in ten, sweating through the summer and dripping onto the ground and the wrap
- Powered attic fans on newer houses, which pull cooled air into the attic through ceiling gaps and draw humid outdoor air into the rooms
- Attic hatches and pull-down stairs without weatherstripping, the largest opening a powered attic fan can pull the house's cooled air through
