Emergency Water Extraction

Local housing stock
1969 is the median build year in St. Petersburg, and 80 percent of the stock went up before 1990, an age that tends to settle whether the ductwork runs overhead through the attic or below the floor. More than a quarter of the homes here are in buildings of ten or more units, and in an apartment building of the late 1960s whose crank-out awning windows have lost the grip of their gaskets, outdoor air seeps past each closed sash onto a frame the cooled room has chilled, and water beads there and runs down into the sill and the wall below.
Climate & seasonal risk
August is the wettest month in St. Petersburg, with 9.33 of 52.48 inches, and it falls inside the stretch, from July through September, when the normal dewpoint holds at 70 or above, peaking at 76.1 in August; rain recorded at ST PETERSBURG 1.1 miles away and dewpoint at ST PETERSBURG INTL AP 10.6 miles away. Above Booker Creek, Roser Park's bluff-top houses stand on soil held back by block revetment walls, and through August, the wettest month, rain soaking into that bluff can leave only slowly, through or under the wall, so the ground beneath the houses' creek-side foundations stays wet between storms.
What keeps buildings wet here
- Crank-out awning windows in late-1960s apartment buildings, whose hardened gaskets let humid air reach a frame the room has chilled
- Bluff-top houses in Roser Park above Booker Creek, on soil held back by block revetment walls that the wettest weeks soak from behind
- Garage apartments behind older houses, their cooled floors laid over garages open to the summer air, where water condenses on the underside of the floor
