Where water lingers in Vero Beach

From an air handler dripping into a ceiling to a slab that stays damp, one call anywhere in Vero Beach connects you with a local pro working the area. Vero Beach's stormwater runs through ditches, culverts and pipes directly into the ocean and the Indian River lagoon, the city notes.

Age of the homes

Built around a median year of 1976, over four fifths of the housing (84 percent) in Vero Beach is older than 1990, so much of it was fitted for cooling the way builders of the mid 1970s went about it. More than a quarter of the homes are in buildings of ten or more units and nearly one in five is held for seasonal use, and when a closed unit's cooling restarts, a condensate trap that dried out over the summer lets the fan pull air backward up the drain line, holding the coil's water in the pan until it spills over the rim.

Rain and humidity

Vero Beach spends three months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, from July through September; of 56.4 inches in a normal year, 7.62 fall in September, rain recorded at VERO BEACH 4SE 0.7 miles away and dewpoint 34.9 miles away. Much of the city's runoff leaves through ditches, culverts and pipes bound for the ocean and the lagoon, and in September, the wettest month, the low corner of a lot beside one of those ditches holds the water passing it, so the slab edge nearest the ditch dries last.

Leaks that go unseen here

  • Condensate traps that dry out in seasonal units, nearly one home in five, so the restarted fan holds the coil's water in the pan until it overflows
  • Lots beside the ditches and culverts carrying the city's runoff to the ocean and the lagoon, where the lowest corner holds September's water
  • A drain field at any of the 1,072 homes with septic systems on record, where a distribution box settled in soft, wet ground sends the whole load down one trench

Frequently asked questions

What is the trap on a Vero Beach condo's condensate line, and why does it matter after a closed summer?

The trap is a water-filled bend that seals the drain line so the air handler's fan cannot pull air up through it. More than a quarter of Vero Beach homes are in buildings of ten or more units, and nearly one in five is held for seasonal use. In a closed unit the trap dries out, and on restart the fan draws air up the line, holding water in the pan until it overflows.

Once rain runs off a Vero Beach street, where does it go?

The city notes that what does not soak into the ground flows into ditches, culverts and drainage pipes and directly into the ocean and the Indian River lagoon. In September, the wettest month, those ditches carry a steady flow, and a lot whose low corner meets one holds water there between storms. The slab edge and any door on that side of the house are the places to watch.

Why does one strip of a Vero Beach yard stay soggy over the septic field?

A drain field spreads its water through several trenches from a distribution box, and where that box has settled in soft, wet ground, it tips and sends everything down one trench. That trench fills first after September rain, and the ground above it stays soft and wet while the rest of the field is dry. Vero Beach has some 1,072 homes with septic systems on record.
