Sharpes: why buildings stay damp

From an air handler dripping into a ceiling to a slab that stays damp, one call anywhere in Sharpes connects you with a local pro working the area. Nearly half the homes in Sharpes are manufactured, so for hundreds of households the drain pipes run beneath the floor, inside the belly wrap.

The housing, by era

About 1,025 of the 1,541 homes in Sharpes were finished before 1990, around a median of 1981; a home's age can show in where its condensate drains and what its floor sits on. With nearly half the homes manufactured, a septic system that backs up after heavy rain fills the drain pipes running inside the belly first, and a loose joint there can weep into the insulation for days before anything shows in the rooms.

Humid months and wet months

Sharpes spends three months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, from July through September; of 55.27 inches in a normal year, 8.26 fall in September, rain recorded 3.7 miles away and dewpoint 24.7 miles away. Seasonal owners hold about one home in eight, and a home closed through September with chairs, bins and tools pushed under it or against its skirting has its vents blocked, leaving the air beneath the floor still and wet.

The soft spots here

  • Drain pipes inside the belly of manufactured homes, nearly half the town, where a septic backup after heavy rain fills them and any loose joint leaks into the insulation
  • Furniture, bins and tools stored under or against the skirting of closed homes, about one in eight held for seasonal use, blocking the vents the space beneath relies on
  • Septic fields serving 349 homes on record, which after a soaked September can stop taking water and send it back along the drain lines

Frequently asked questions

Can a septic backup leak under a Sharpes manufactured home without showing inside?

It can. Nearly half the homes in Sharpes are manufactured, and their drain pipes run through the belly beneath the floor. When a drain field stops taking water after heavy rain, those pipes fill and back up, and a loose joint can leak into the belly insulation where nobody sees it. A sagging, wet patch of belly wrap or a sewer smell outdoors is often the first sign.

Is it a problem to store things under a closed Sharpes home for the summer?

It can be. About one Sharpes home in eight is held for seasonal use, and chairs, bins and tools pushed under the home or against the skirting cover the vents that let air move beneath the floor. Through a humid summer that air goes still and wet around the belly. Keeping the vents clear lets it move.

What does a soaked September do to a drain field in Sharpes?

In Sharpes some 349 homes have septic systems on record. After weeks of rain the soil around a drain field is full, and the field can stop taking the household's water. It then backs along the drain lines toward the home, and in a manufactured home those lines run through the belly, so the backup can reach the space under the floor first.
