Where water lingers in Saint Johns

From an air handler dripping into a ceiling to a slab that stays damp, one call anywhere in Saint Johns connects you with a local pro working the area. Saint Johns stands only about 11 feet above sea level, while across its 32259 ZIP code area 1,086 properties have septic systems on record.

Age of the homes

Saint Johns lies in the 32259 ZIP code area, whose 25,181 homes include 2,679 finished before 1990; the area's median build year is 2009. Much of the area's housing is recent, and where a house of that era is clad in fiber-cement lap siding whose cut ends were left unpainted at the butt joints and corners, those bare ends drink rain the way a sponge does and hold it against the wrap behind.

Rain and humidity

The normal dewpoint in Saint Johns stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock in July and August, reaching 73.9 in August; September is the wettest month, with 7.87 of 54.7 inches, rain recorded 0.9 miles away and dewpoint 21.4 miles away. Where a newer house at Saint Johns, on ground about 11 feet above sea level, has its yard irrigation running on a timer through September, the sprinklers keep wetting the base of the siding and the slab edge on days the rain has already soaked them.

Leaks that go unseen here

  • Fiber-cement lap siding on recent houses with cut ends left unpainted, which take up rain at the butt joints and corners

Frequently asked questions

Why are the siding ends swelling on a newer house near Saint Johns?

Much of the housing around Saint Johns is recent, and some of it is clad in fiber-cement lap siding. The boards shed rain well on their painted faces, but where the cut ends at butt joints and corners were left bare, they soak water up and hold it against the wrap behind. Swollen or flaking ends at the joints are the sign, and caulking and painting them seals them.

Should the sprinklers run in September at a house near Saint Johns?

Rarely, because Saint Johns stands about 11 feet above sea level, and in September the yard is already taking heavy rain. A timer that keeps the sprinklers running then sprays the base of the siding and soaks the ground at the slab edge on top of the storms. A rain sensor, or switching the system off for the wet weeks, keeps the house's lowest course drier.

By the end of the rainy season, how much room is left in a drain field near Saint Johns?

Less than in spring. Across the 32259 ZIP code area, some 1,086 properties have septic systems on record. By September the soil around a drain field has taken months of rain, and on low ground it can be close to full, so the household's water soaks away slowly. A slow tub or gurgling toilet after a stormy week is the early sign to ease off laundry and long showers.
