What fails in Punta Gorda
Serving Punta Gorda and the surrounding area, including Punta Gorda Isles, Fishermens Village.
Local housing stock
1994 is the median build year in Punta Gorda, and 42.5 percent of the stock went up before 1990, an age that tends to settle whether the ductwork runs overhead through the attic or below the floor. An attached garage fills with hot outdoor air all summer while the closed house beside it stays cooler, and with about one home in five held for seasonal use, humid air working into that shared wall from the garage side condenses on the back of the house's drywall.
Climate & seasonal risk
From July through September, any surface in a Punta Gorda building cooler than 70 degrees, a supply duct or a cold water line, sits below the normal outdoor dewpoint at every hour; 54.75 inches fall in a normal year, 9.1 of them in August, rain recorded at PUNTA GORDA 1.6 NNW 1.5 miles away and dewpoint 25 miles away. By the end of August, the wettest month, a house closed since spring holds a summer's water in its drywall, cabinets and grout, and when the owners return and run cold water, the toilet tanks and supply pipes sweat in rooms that have not yet dried.
What keeps buildings wet here
- Walls shared between a closed house and its attached garage, where humid garage air condenses on the back of the cooler drywall on the house side
- Toilet tanks and cold supply pipes in reopened seasonal houses, sweating onto floors and into vanities until the cooling has dried the rooms
- Closed houses with the cooling set so high it runs only in the afternoon heat, leaving each night's humidity to build in the rooms
- Cabinets, grout and drywall in seasonal homes, about one in five, taking up a summer of humid air before anyone runs the cooling hard
