Damp buildings in Venice

From an air handler dripping into a ceiling to a slab that stays damp, one call anywhere in Venice connects you with a local pro working the area. Of Venice's 21,000 homes, some 4,700 are seasonal, 4,900 sit in buildings of ten or more units, and 2,500 are manufactured.

What the homes date from

About 11,826 of the 20,966 homes in Venice were finished before 1990, around a median of 1986; a home's age can show in where its condensate drains and what its floor sits on. A condensate pan that overflows in a manufactured home whose air handler stands in a hall closet directly on the floor decking spills straight onto that decking, which swells and softens around the closet door, and about one home in nine here is manufactured.

The months that matter

Venice spends three months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, from July through September; of 51.27 inches in a normal year, 8.34 fall in August, rain recorded at VENICE 1.7 miles away and dewpoint 50.2 miles away. Nearly a quarter of the homes are in buildings of ten or more units, and in August, the wettest month, a glassed-in lanai left uncooled on a unit closed for the season fills with air as wet as the outdoors, warm by day and cooler at night, so its glass, its floor and anything stored on it collect water night after night.

The usual sources here

  • Air handlers standing on the floor decking of manufactured homes, about one in nine, where an overflowing pan swells the decking around the closet
  • Glassed-in, uncooled lanais on condominium units closed for the season, where the humid air trapped inside settles on the glass and floor each night
  • Storm shutters left closed over sliders and windows on seasonal homes, more than one in five, trapping still, humid air against cooled glass so water runs into the tracks and sills

Frequently asked questions

What softens the floor around the air handler closet in a Venice manufactured home?

In a manufactured home, the type of about one Venice home in nine, the air handler may stand in a hall closet directly on the floor decking, with a pan beneath it catching the water the cooling pulls from the air. When the drain line clogs, the pan overflows onto the decking, which soaks it up, swells and softens around the closet door. A soft spot there points to the pan and its line.

Why are the windows of a closed Venice condominium's glassed-in lanai wet in the morning?

Nearly a quarter of Venice homes are in buildings of ten or more units. A lanai enclosed with glass but not cooled holds outdoor air, as wet in August as anywhere outside, and with the unit closed for the season nothing dries it. As the glass cools overnight, water condenses on it and runs onto the floor, and furniture and boxes kept on the lanai take it up.

Should storm shutters stay closed on a Venice seasonal home all summer?

More than one Venice home in five is held for seasonal use. Shutters closed over sliders and windows trap a pocket of still outdoor air against the glass, and with the cooling running inside, the glass is colder than that air. Water condenses in the gap and runs into the slider tracks and window sills, where it sits for the season. Opening the shutters lets that pocket dry.
