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 Tarpon Springs wall stays wet

Water damage restoration in Tarpon Springs, including Cove Springs and Forest Ridge, is handled by local pros working the area, whether the water came from the cooling system, a pipe or the weather. Tarpon Springs' historic district covers about 70 acres, its oldest homes built around Spring Bayou from 1883 on, mostly balloon-framed pine.

The structures themselves

Since 1990, Tarpon Springs has added 31.9 percent of the homes it has now, though the median still dates to 1984; builders of each era set the ducts and the cold surfaces where they remain. In the frame vernacular houses of the historic district, the pine studs of the balloon frame run unbroken from the sill to the roof, so water that gets into a wall high up, or condenses inside it, can travel down the open cavity to the sill before it shows.

Weather behind the risk

The normal dewpoint in Tarpon Springs stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock from July through September, reaching 76.1 in August; August is the wettest month, with 9.66 of 54.29 inches, rain recorded at TARPON SPGS SEWAGE PLT 1.6 miles away and dewpoint 17.4 miles away. Under a mile from the open Gulf and about 7 feet above sea level, the low streets around the bayous see two kinds of water: rain on the Gulf wind, which wets walls from the top, and salt water pushed up the bayous, which reaches sills and slabs from below and leaves salt in the wood and block.

What to check in Tarpon Springs

  • Balloon-framed pine houses around Spring Bayou, where water in a wall cavity can run unbroken from high in the wall down to the sill
  • Rooms added onto manufactured homes, about one home in ten, where the joint between the addition and the home lets humid air reach a cooled interior wall
  • Low ground less than a mile from the Gulf, about 7 feet above sea level, where water pushed up the bayous reaches sills and slabs and leaves salt behind

Frequently asked questions

Why can water inside the wall of an old Tarpon Springs house show up far from where it got in?

The historic district's frame vernacular houses, many built around Spring Bayou from the 1880s on, are balloon framed in pine. Their studs run unbroken from the sill to the roof, leaving an open cavity the full height of the wall. Water that enters near the eaves, or condenses inside the wall, can run down that cavity and appear at the sill, a story or more below.

How is salt water from the bayous different from rain for a Tarpon Springs home?

Rain on the Gulf wind wets a house from the top and the windward side. Water pushed up the bayous rises from below, reaching sills, slabs and the bottom of walls first, and it leaves salt in the wood and block when it drains. That salt holds on to water long after the bayou has fallen, so those lowest courses dry last.

Where does a manufactured home with an added room in Tarpon Springs take on water?

Manufactured homes make up about one in ten in Tarpon Springs. Where a room has been built on against one side of one, the joint where the addition meets the home, at the roof and down the wall, is rarely as tight as either part. Humid air works through it and condenses on the wall the home's cooling keeps cold, so stains and soft spots gather along that seam.
