Why a Florida building stays wet: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.

What keeps Riverview buildings wet

Water damage restoration in Riverview, including Crestview Lakes and Boyette Park, is handled by local pros working the area, whether the water came from the cooling system, a pipe or the weather. At about 69 feet above sea level, Riverview stands above tidal water; damp under its slabs comes from rain and groundwater, not tide.

The age of the buildings

The median home in Riverview was built in 2006, with 16 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. Where a house of the 2000s has a cooling system larger than it needs, the system reaches its set temperature in short runs that end before the coil has wrung much water from the air, so the rooms are cool and still damp.

The humid season

Riverview spends two months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, in July and August; of 54.57 inches in a normal year, 10.49 fall in August, rain recorded at RIVERVIEW 4.8 SSW 2.6 miles away and dewpoint 17.3 miles away. In August, where a subdivision drains to a stormwater pond behind the houses, the pond rises with each storm, and the backyards that slope down to it stay wet long after the higher ground at the front of each lot has dried.

Where water settles in Riverview

  • Cooling systems larger than the house needs, cycling off before the coil has pulled much water from the air and leaving cool rooms that stay damp
  • Backyards sloping to subdivision stormwater ponds, which rise through August and keep the low end of each lot wet
  • Some 3,400 manufactured homes, where the ducts in each belly run cold above ground that holds the summer rain

Frequently asked questions

Why does a newer Riverview house feel cool but clammy?

In a house of the 2000s, a cooling system larger than the house needs reaches its set temperature quickly and shuts off. Water only drains from the coil after a few minutes of steady running, so short runs cool the rooms without drying them. A system that runs longer at a lower speed, or a separate dehumidifier, takes out the water the short cycles leave behind.

Does a stormwater pond behind a Riverview home matter in the rainy season?

Where a subdivision drains to a pond behind the houses, that pond takes each August storm's runoff and rises. The backyards that slope toward it stay wet, and anything at the low end of the lot, a patio slab, a pool deck or a screen room, sits in that water longest. A yard that slopes back toward the house is the one to correct.

Is groundwater likely to come up through a Riverview slab?

Riverview sits about 69 feet above sea level, and its ground drains between storms, so water rising through a slab is seldom the first explanation. A damp floor here more often traces to a plumbing line, a shower pan or the cooling system's condensate. Following the damp area to the nearest of those finds most leaks faster than looking at the yard.
