Emergency Water Extraction

Surge and tidal water rise from the ground up and carry salt and silt with them. Anything porous they soaked is treated as contaminated.

Wind-Driven Rain Intrusion
Wind pushes rain sideways through window frames, stucco and the base of the wall. The roof can hold and the house still take water.

AC Condensate & Drain Line Leaks
An air conditioner makes water every day it runs. When its drain clogs or its pan cracks, that water goes into the ceiling or the slab.

Local housing stock
Since 1990, Rockledge has added 49.8 percent of the homes it has now, though the median still dates to 1990; builders of each era set the ducts and the cold surfaces where they remain. Most of the district's 100 contributing buildings are wood frame houses from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and where original wood siding has been replaced with aluminum or vinyl, water that gets behind the new cladding stays against the old wall, out of the moving air that once dried it.
Climate & seasonal risk
The air over Rockledge carries the most water in August, when the normal dewpoint reaches 75.5 degrees, and from July through September it does not drop below 70 even overnight; September brings 9.35 of the 56.3 inches a year, rain recorded at ROCKLEDGE 1.1 WSW 0.8 miles away and dewpoint 16.3 miles away. With the river on their east side and every house facing it, the fronts and verandas along Rockledge Drive take whatever weather comes off the water, and in September, the wettest month, rain carried on that wind soaks porch floors, posts and the front wall behind them.
What keeps buildings wet here
- Wood frame houses along Rockledge Drive re-sided in aluminum or vinyl, where water that gets behind the cladding stays against the original wall
- River-facing porches and verandas on the main front of each house, where September's rain blown off the water soaks floors, posts and the wall behind
- Gable ends faced with wood shingles, whose overlapping courses hold rain longer than plain siding, high on the walls of the older frame houses
