Why a Florida building stays wet: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.
What keeps Ponte Vedra buildings wet
Water in a ceiling, wall or slab anywhere in Ponte Vedra is one call away from a local restoration pro. Three-fifths of the land in ZIP code area 32081 lies within Nocatee; Ponte Vedra itself sits under half a mile from the open coast.
The age of the buildings
The 32081 ZIP code area around Ponte Vedra has a median home built in 2015, and 1.5 percent of its homes date from before 1990. Half the area's homes date from 2015 or later, and on a new house with low-emissivity double-pane windows, the outer pane, warmed neither by the cooled room nor by any sun at night, can fall below the point where the humid air can hold its water, so the glass runs wet on the outside by dawn and drips onto the sills.
The humid season
The air over Ponte Vedra carries the most water in August, when the normal dewpoint reaches 73.9 degrees, and in July and August it does not drop below 70 even overnight; August brings 7.54 of the 52.44 inches a year, rain recorded 4.2 miles away and dewpoint 17.1 miles away. Ponte Vedra itself lies under half a mile from the open coast, and in an August blow off the ocean, the wind's pressure against a house's seaward wall can push rain up and over a sliding door's track and under its sill, a path the water would never take in still air.
Where water settles in Ponte Vedra
- Low-emissivity windows on new houses, whose outer panes chill overnight and run with water on the outside by morning, wetting sills and the wall below
- Sliding doors on seaward walls, where wind pressure off the ocean drives rain up over the track and under the sill
- Condensing gas water heaters on new houses, which make water of their own and need a drain line that, if it clogs or ends at the foundation, wets the closet or the slab edge

Frequently asked questions
Why are the windows of a new house near Ponte Vedra wet on the outside in the morning?
Half the homes across the area date from 2015 or later, and many new windows are double-pane with a low-emissivity coating. That coating keeps the room's cold and the day's heat from passing through, so overnight the outer pane cools toward the night sky with nothing warming it. It falls below the point where the humid air can hold its water, and dew forms on it, running down onto the sills.
How can wind push rain under a sliding door near Ponte Vedra?
In a strong onshore blow, the wind presses against the seaward wall of a house and raises the air pressure on that side. Rain gathered in a sliding door's track is then pushed up and over its inner edge and under the sill, a path it would never take in still air. Ponte Vedra itself lies under half a mile from the open coast. Track drains kept clear relieve that pressure.
Where does a condensing water heater in a new house near Ponte Vedra send its water?
A condensing gas water heater wrings so much heat from its exhaust that water forms inside it, and that water needs its own drain line. Where the line clogs, kinks, or simply ends against the foundation, the water collects in the closet or soaks the ground at the slab edge every day the heater runs. Following the small line from the heater to its end shows where it goes.
