Local housing stock
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.
Climate & seasonal 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 keeps buildings wet here
- 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
