Where water lingers in Pompano Beach

Across Old Pompano and Downtown and the rest of Pompano Beach, a building still wet days after a leak reaches an independent contractor through one phone call. Nearly half of Pompano Beach's homes, some 30,280, are in buildings of ten or more units, sharing roofs, risers and walls.

Age of the homes

Since 1990, Pompano Beach has added 18.3 percent of the homes it has now, though the median still dates to 1974; builders of each era set the ducts and the cold surfaces where they remain. Where a mid-1970s condominium unit has vinyl wallcovering on its outside walls, in a city with nearly half its homes in buildings of ten or more units, the humid air working in through the block reaches the back of that vinyl, the coldest layer in the wall, and is held there against the paper and paste.

Rain and humidity

Pompano Beach spends four months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, from June through September; of 55.62 inches in a normal year, 8.05 fall in June, rain recorded at POMPANO BEACH AIRPARK 1.7 miles away and dewpoint 30.7 miles away. Some 8,150 homes are held for seasonal use, and in a unit closed through June the water in its sink, tub and floor drain traps slowly evaporates until they are dry, opening the rooms to the damp air of the building's drain and vent stack.

Leaks that go unseen here

  • Vinyl wallcovering on the outside walls of mid-1970s condominium units, which holds the water reaching it from the block behind
  • Drain traps that dry out in seasonal units, more than one home in eight, letting stack air into a closed apartment
  • Risers and shared walls in 1970s buildings of ten or more units, nearly half the city's homes, carrying one unit's water into the next

Frequently asked questions

Why is the vinyl wallpaper bubbling on the outside wall of an older Pompano Beach condo?

Nearly half the homes in Pompano Beach are in buildings of ten or more units, and the median home was built in 1974. Where a unit of that era has vinyl wallcovering on an outside wall, humid air seeping in through the block reaches its back, the coldest layer, and cannot pass through. Water gathers between the vinyl and the wall, and the paste lets go in bubbles.

What should be done with the drains in a Pompano Beach unit closed for the summer?

Keep the traps full. Some 8,150 Pompano Beach homes are held for seasonal use. Every sink, tub and floor drain has a trap holding a little water, and in a closed unit that water evaporates over the summer. Once dry, the trap opens the rooms to the damp air of the drain and vent stack. Pouring water into each drain on return, or a little mineral oil before leaving, keeps them sealed.

How can a leak in one Pompano Beach unit show up in another?

Through the shared parts of the building. Risers carrying water and drains pass through every floor, and walls and slabs are common to neighbors. A seeping joint in a riser, or a pan overflowing above, can travel inside the wall or along the slab before it shows in a unit that has no leak of its own. Telling building management where the damp appears helps trace it.
