Moisture load in St. Cloud

Water in a ceiling, wall or slab in St. Cloud, from Saint Cloud and Pemberly Pines across town, is one call away from a local restoration pro. With its center about 72 feet above sea level, St. Cloud takes on water from the sky, the air and its houses' own pipes.

When these homes went up

Since 1990, St. Cloud has added 69.2 percent of the homes it has now, though the median still dates to 2003; builders of each era set the ducts and the cold surfaces where they remain. In a house from around 2003 cooled by a two-stage or variable-speed system, a fan setting left on its highest airflow moves air across the coil too fast to wring much water out of it, leaving the rooms cool and still damp.

When the air turns heavy

St. Cloud spends two months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, in July and August; of 52.57 inches in a normal year, 9.18 fall in June, rain recorded 9 miles away and dewpoint 14 miles away. June's water reaches a house here, some 72 feet up, from above and from the air, and where a home's gutters empty onto a walk or patio that slopes back to the foundation, the downspout returns a whole roof's rain to the slab edge.

What holds water in St. Cloud

  • Variable-speed or two-stage cooling in houses from around 2003, where a fan set to its highest airflow cools the rooms without drying them
  • Downspouts that empty onto walks or patios sloping back toward the house, returning a roof's rain to the foundation
  • Cooled belly ducts under the city's manufactured homes, about one in sixteen, hanging in the June air beneath the floor

Frequently asked questions

How can a variable-speed system leave a newer St. Cloud house clammy?

A cooling coil removes water best when air crosses it slowly. In a house from around 2003 with a two-stage or variable-speed system, an installer or owner may set the fan for its highest airflow, which cools the rooms quickly but moves the air past the coil too fast to wring much water out. A lower airflow setting, or a dehumidify mode, leaves the rooms drier.

Where should a St. Cloud downspout empty?

Onto ground that falls away from the house, a few feet out. Where a downspout empties onto a walk or patio that slopes back toward the foundation, each June storm sends the rain from that part of the roof straight to the slab edge and the bottom of the wall. An extension, a splash block or a short pipe that carries it past the paving keeps that corner dry.

Does St. Cloud's height above sea level keep water out of its houses?

Of the sea, yes. St. Cloud's center stands about 72 feet above sea level, beyond any tide, so water in a house here comes from the rain, the humid air and the house's own plumbing and cooling. That narrows the search: a damp wall or floor usually traces to a downspout, a condensate line, a supply pipe or air reaching a cold surface.
