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

What keeps Safety Harbor buildings wet

Water in a ceiling, wall or slab in Safety Harbor, from Cypress Knoll, Cypress Hollow, and Harbor Oaks Estates across town, is one call away from a local restoration pro. Safety Harbor's stormwater crews keep 12.88 miles of ditches and creeks and more than 1,075 catch basins clear of trash and sediment.

The age of the buildings

The median home in Safety Harbor was built in 1984, with 77.7 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. Manufactured homes account for a tenth of the city's structures, and where the ground inside a home's skirting sits lower than the yard around it, each downpour drains inward and stands beneath the floor, in the air the belly ducts hang in.

The humid season

The air over Safety Harbor carries the most water in August, when the normal dewpoint reaches 76.1 degrees, and from July through September it does not drop below 70 even overnight; July brings 9.43 of the 56.1 inches a year, rain recorded 3.9 miles away and dewpoint 6.6 miles away. Rain on the city runs through ditches and creeks kept open to carry it, and through July a lot beside one holds that water at the back of the yard until the channel carries it off.

Where water settles in Safety Harbor

  • Manufactured homes, a tenth of the city's structures, where ground inside the skirting lies below the yard and collects each storm's runoff under the floor
  • Catch basins, more than 1,075 of them, where sediment and debris washed in from the street slow a July downpour and leave it standing at driveways
  • Lots backing onto the city's ditches and creeks, where water waiting in the channel keeps the back yard and slab edge wet
  • Homes near the city's waterfront on Tampa Bay, whose walls and screens take the damp bay air through every humid month

Frequently asked questions

Why does water collect under a Safety Harbor manufactured home that sits in a low spot?

Manufactured homes make up a tenth of Safety Harbor's structures. Where the ground inside a home's skirting is lower than the yard around it, rain runs in under the skirting and stands there like a shallow pond. The ducts in the belly hang just above that wet ground, in the dampest air on the lot. Building the ground up inside the skirting lets it drain out.

What clogs a Safety Harbor catch basin, and what follows?

Sediment, trash and yard debris washed off the street. The city's stormwater crews clean more than 1,075 catch basins and remove trash and soil from its ditches and creeks, but between visits a basin can fill. When it does, a July downpour cannot get in fast enough, and the water spreads across the street to driveways and garage doors at the low end.

Why does the back of a Safety Harbor lot beside a creek stay wet after a storm?

The city keeps some 12.88 miles of ditches and creeks open to carry its rain. After a heavy storm the channel fills, and until it drains down, the water stands close to the yards beside it. A lot backing onto one keeps a wet strip at the back long after the front has dried, and a slab on that side stays damp at its edge.
