Valrico: why buildings stay damp

From an air handler dripping in Abbey Grove and Ridgewood Estates to a slab that stays damp elsewhere in Valrico, one call connects you with a local pro working the area. About one structure in seven in Valrico is a manufactured home, on ground about 97 feet up, 11 miles from the open coast.

The housing, by era

The median home in Valrico was built in 1996, with 35.2 percent standing before 1990; when a house went up tends to decide where its air handler sits and how far its ducts run through attic heat. About one structure in seven is a manufactured home, and where one is cooled by a packaged unit standing beside it, the supply duct crosses open air between the unit and the skirting, and that exposed length, colder than the air around it, sweats and drips onto the ground at the edge of the home.

Humid months and wet months

Valrico spends two months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, in July and August; of 62.58 inches in a normal year, 11.31 fall in August, rain recorded at VALRICO 2.2 SE 0.6 miles away and dewpoint 19.1 miles away. Rain falling through August, the wettest month, on a manufactured home's roof without gutters drops straight off the eave beside the skirting, so the strip of ground at the home's edge takes the whole roof's runoff and the air underneath stays wet.

The soft spots here

  • Exposed supply ducts running from packaged cooling units to manufactured homes, about one structure in seven, sweating and dripping where they cross open air
  • Roofs without gutters on manufactured homes, which drop the whole roof's runoff at the skirting line and keep the ground under the home's edge wet
  • A household's water and August's rain arriving together in one drain field, repeated across some 590 homes with septic systems on record

Frequently asked questions

Why is the duct between a packaged unit and a Valrico manufactured home dripping?

About one Valrico structure in seven is a manufactured home, and many are cooled by a packaged unit standing outside. The supply duct crosses a stretch of open air before it enters the skirting, and it carries air far colder than the summer air around it. Where its jacket is torn or thin, water condenses on it and drips. Rewrapping that length stops it.

Does a Valrico manufactured home need gutters?

It helps. Without them, every downpour drops the whole roof's runoff off the eave right beside the skirting, so the ground at the home's edge stays soaked and the air beneath the floor stays wet through August. A gutter that carries the water a few feet out, or a splash block under each drip line, keeps that strip drier.

When the rain will not stop in August, what happens to a Valrico septic system?

After days of August rain the soil around a drain field can hold no more water, and the wastewater from any of Valrico's some 590 homes with septic systems on record stops soaking away. It rises toward the house and out through the lowest drain, usually a shower or tub. Holding back on laundry and dishes until the ground dries gives the field room.
