Sebastian: why buildings stay damp

From an air handler dripping into a ceiling to a slab that stays damp, one call anywhere in Sebastian connects you with a local pro working the area. Some 8,940 Sebastian homes have septic systems on record; septic nutrients reach the Sebastian River and Indian River Lagoon through groundwater, the county notes.

The housing, by era

The median home in Sebastian was built in 1995, with 41.6 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 here has its drain field close beside the slab, a field that has stopped taking water raises the moisture in the soil at the foundation as well as sending wastewater back toward the lowest drain.

Humid months and wet months

Sebastian spends three months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, from July through September; of 57.31 inches in a normal year, 8.1 fall in September, rain recorded at MICCO 1.3 NW 7.9 miles away and dewpoint 24.3 miles away. By September, the wettest month, the ground the drain fields of some 8,940 homes share with the groundwater moving toward the Sebastian River and the lagoon has taken a whole summer of rain, and a field that cannot shed its water into it backs up into the house instead.

The soft spots here

  • Ground that carries water toward the Sebastian River and the lagoon, taking what the drain fields of some 8,940 homes with septic systems on record send into it
  • Drain fields set close beside a slab, where a field that has stopped draining keeps the soil at the foundation wet
  • Ground-floor showers, tubs and floor drains, the first fixtures a full drain field sends water back through in September

Frequently asked questions

Can a full drain field make the foundation of a Sebastian house damp?

It can. Where the drain field sits close beside the slab, the field and the foundation share the same soil. Once the field stops taking water after weeks of rain, the wastewater has nowhere to go, and the soil at the slab edge stays wet with it. Damp along the base of the walls nearest the field, rather than all around the house, points to it.

Where does the water go after it leaves a Sebastian septic tank?

Into the drain field, and from there into the ground. The county's septic-to-sewer project notes that septic effluent nutrients reach the nearby Sebastian River and Indian River Lagoon through groundwater. That same ground takes the summer's rain, and by September a field may not be able to pass water into it at all, so wastewater returns to the house instead.

Which drain in a Sebastian house shows a full drain field first?

The lowest one. Sebastian has some 8,940 homes with septic systems on record, and when the ground around a field is full, the water rises back through the lowest opening in the plumbing: a ground-floor shower, a tub, a floor drain or a toilet. A gurgle or a slow drain there after days of September rain is the early sign to cut back on water use.
