First question at the door: where is the water coming from?

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

How long a Stuart wall stays wet

Water damage restoration in Stuart, including Snug Harbor, Rio, and Jensen Beach, is handled by local pros working the area, whether the water came from the cooling system, a pipe or the weather. Stuart's watershed projects hold far more stormwater in the ground than in surface waters, in a city ringed by the tidal St. Lucie River.

The structures themselves

Since 1990, Stuart has added 30.4 percent of the homes it has now, though the median still dates to 1982; builders of each era set the ducts and the cold surfaces where they remain. Nearly two in five homes here are in buildings of ten or more units, and where the cold water main runs through the ceiling of a corridor open to the outdoor air, any gap in its insulation lets that humid air reach the pipe, so it sweats and drips onto the ceiling below.

Weather behind the risk

Stuart spends four months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, from June through September; of 62.72 inches in a normal year, 8.49 fall in August, rain recorded at STUART 0.5 miles away and dewpoint 36.4 miles away. Through the wet season the city holds its rain back with retention areas and weirs and stores much of it at the top of the water table, so where a ground-floor unit or slab house sits beside one of those areas, the soil beneath it stays wet between storms.

What to check in Stuart

  • Cold water mains run through corridor ceilings in buildings of ten or more units, sweating wherever their insulation has gaps
  • Towels rolled against sliding door sills in seasonal homes, about one in six, holding water against the sill and track all summer
  • Slabs beside the retention areas and weirs that store the city's stormwater in the ground, where the soil beneath stays wet between storms

Frequently asked questions

What drips from the corridor ceiling of a Stuart condo building on a dry day?

Often the cold water main. Nearly two in five Stuart homes are in buildings of ten or more units, and the main supplying them may run through the corridor ceiling. Where the corridor is open to outdoor air and the pipe's insulation has a gap, humid air reaches the cold metal, water forms on it and drips onto the ceiling below. Closing the gaps in the pipe's insulation ends it.

Should towels be left against the slider of a Stuart seasonal home?

Not for the whole summer. About one Stuart home in six is held for seasonal use, and towels rolled against a sliding door's sill to stop wind-driven rain soak up the first storm and stay wet. Held against the sill and the bottom of the track for months, that water works into the frame and the floor beside it. Clear weep slots in the track do the job better.

Where does Stuart keep its stormwater?

Much of it in the ground. The city holds rain back within each watershed using retention areas and weirs, and its projects store far more stormwater in the ground, at the top of the water table, than in surface waters. Near those areas the soil stays wet through the wet season, so a slab or ground-floor unit beside one sits over damper ground.
