Before anything else: the source of the water, and how far it reached.

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

Seminole: why buildings stay damp

Across Conrad Mobile Home Park & RV and Seminole Groves and the rest of Seminole, a building still wet days after a leak is one phone call from a local pro. Nearly a third of Seminole's homes stand in buildings of ten or more units, where one unit's leak can reach apartments beside and below.

The housing, by era

Built around a median year of 1979, about three quarters of the housing (71.3 percent) in Seminole is older than 1990, so much of it was fitted for cooling the way builders of the late 1970s went about it. Nearly a third of the homes are in buildings of ten or more units, and where an upper apartment's dryer vent runs through the floor cavity to reach an outside wall, the warm, wet exhaust cools along that long run, and the water it drops collects in the duct above the ceiling of the unit below.

Humid months and wet months

The normal dewpoint in Seminole stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock from July through September, reaching 76.1 in August; August is the wettest month, with 9.43 of 53.85 inches, rain recorded 5.4 miles away and dewpoint 7.6 miles away. Where the concrete pad of a carport or patio beside a manufactured home slopes toward it, the rain of August, the wettest month, runs off that pad straight under the skirting, and the ground beneath the cooled floor takes the runoff of the whole slab.

The soft spots here

  • Dryer vents run through the floor cavities of buildings of ten or more units, where the cooling exhaust drops its water into the duct above a neighbor's ceiling
  • Carport and patio pads that slope toward manufactured homes, about one in eight, sending August's rain under the skirting
  • Lint packed into those long dryer runs, which slows the exhaust so more of each load's water condenses inside the duct

Frequently asked questions

Why does a ceiling stain in a Seminole apartment spread on laundry days?

Nearly a third of Seminole's homes are in buildings of ten or more units. Where the dryer vent of the unit above runs through the floor cavity to an outside wall, its warm, wet exhaust cools along the way and drops water inside the duct. That water gathers at a low point or a loose joint and soaks the ceiling beneath. A stain that spreads after the neighbors' laundry, not after rain, points to it.

Which way should the carport pad beside a Seminole manufactured home slope?

Away from the home. About one Seminole home in eight is manufactured, and where a carport or patio pad tilts toward the skirting, every August storm sends that slab's rain under the floor, where the cooled ducts run. The ground there stays wet and so does the air around the belly. A shallow channel along the pad's edge, or a skirting set to let the water pass, turns it aside.

How does lint in a Seminole condo's dryer vent end up as water?

A long dryer run through a floor cavity collects lint, and as it narrows, the exhaust slows. Slower air spends longer cooling inside the duct, so more of the water from each load condenses there instead of leaving the building, and the lint holds it. Cleaning the full length of the run, not only the trap, keeps the exhaust moving fast enough to carry its water outdoors.
