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

What keeps Santa Rosa Beach buildings wet

Water in a ceiling, wall or slab anywhere in Santa Rosa Beach is one call away from a local restoration pro. More than a third of the homes in the 32459 ZIP code area around Santa Rosa Beach, some 6,800, are held for seasonal use.

The age of the buildings

The 32459 ZIP code area around Santa Rosa Beach has a median home built in 2006, and 15.9 percent of its homes date from before 1990. More than a third of the area's homes are held for seasonal use, and in a newer second home closed with the cooling set high, wood or engineered-wood floors take up the summer's humidity from the room air and cup, each board's edges lifting above its center by the time the owners return.

The humid season

In July and August, any surface in a Santa Rosa Beach building cooler than 70 degrees, a supply duct or a cold water line, sits below the normal outdoor dewpoint at every hour; 67.04 inches fall in a normal year, 8.1 of them in July, rain recorded at FREEPORT 3.4 S 6.4 miles away and dewpoint at VALPARAISO EGLIN AFB 18.2 miles away. Santa Rosa Beach itself stands only about 4 feet above sea level, and through July, the wettest month, an outdoor shower against a house wall sends its water into soil at the slab edge that the rain has already filled, so the base of that wall stays wet from one storm, and one rinse, to the next.

Where water settles in Santa Rosa Beach

  • Wood and engineered-wood floors in newer second homes closed with the cooling set high, which take up the summer's humidity and cup
  • Outdoor showers against house walls, draining into soil at the slab edge that July's rain has already filled
  • Drain fields at the 505 properties across the ZIP code area with septic systems on record, where a closed house that suddenly fills with guests sends a heavy load to a field the rain has soaked

Frequently asked questions

Why are the wood floors cupped in a second home near Santa Rosa Beach?

More than a third of the homes across the 32459 ZIP code area are held for seasonal use. In a house closed with the cooling set high, wood and engineered-wood floors take up the summer's humidity from the room air, and each board swells most along its edges, which lift above its center. Bringing the indoor humidity down slowly, rather than sanding right away, lets most boards settle.

Where should an outdoor shower at Santa Rosa Beach drain?

Away from the house. Santa Rosa Beach itself stands only about 4 feet above sea level, and in July the ground is already holding the month's rain. A shower against a wall that drains onto the soil beside it keeps the slab edge and the bottom of that wall wet between storms. A floor that slopes away, or a line carrying the water several feet out, keeps it off the foundation.

Can a full house of guests overwhelm a drain field near Santa Rosa Beach?

Across the ZIP code area, some 505 properties have septic systems on record. A house that has stood closed sends almost nothing to its field; a week of full occupancy then sends showers, laundry and dishes for many people at once. In July, with the rain already filling the ground, the field may not keep up, and water backs toward the lowest drain. Spacing out laundry helps.
