Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water removed before it soaks into slab, block and flooring - the first step after any failure, and the one humid air makes urgent.

Storm Surge & Tidal Flooding
Surge and tidal water rise from the ground up and carry salt and silt with them. Anything porous they soaked is treated as contaminated.

Wind-Driven Rain Intrusion
Wind pushes rain sideways through window frames, stucco and the base of the wall. The roof can hold and the house still take water.

AC Condensate & Drain Line Leaks
An air conditioner makes water every day it runs. When its drain clogs or its pan cracks, that water goes into the ceiling or the slab.

Local housing stock
Since 1990, St. Augustine has added 44.4 percent of the homes it has now, though the median still dates to 1980; builders of each era set the ducts and the cold surfaces where they remain. Seasonal homes make up about one in seven here, and where a closed house's cooling stops after a summer storm cuts the power and does not restart on its own, the rooms go on taking in the outdoor humidity with nothing running to remove it.
Climate & seasonal risk
August is the wettest month in St. Augustine, with 7.18 of 50.64 inches, and it falls inside the stretch, in July and August, when the normal dewpoint holds at 70 or above, peaking at 73.9 in August; rain recorded at ST AUGUSTINE LIGHTHOUSE 1.5 miles away and dewpoint 31.5 miles away. When a tidal flood backs sea water up Davis Shores' storm drains into the streets, the salt water that reaches a driveway or garage slab leaves salt in the concrete, and through the humid weeks that salt keeps drawing water from the air long after the street has drained.
What keeps buildings wet here
- Storm drains in Davis Shores that open onto the Matanzas River or Salt Run, where a high tide has backed sea water into the streets and up to garage slabs
- Salt left in driveway and garage concrete by tidal water, drawing moisture out of the humid air long after the street drains
- Seasonal houses, about one home in seven, whose cooling stops when a summer storm cuts the power and fails to restart, leaving the rooms to fill with humid air
