Wind-Driven Rain Intrusion
Wind pushes rain sideways through window frames, stucco and the base of the wall. The roof can hold and the house still take water.

AC Condensate & Drain Line Leaks
An air conditioner makes water every day it runs. When its drain clogs or its pan cracks, that water goes into the ceiling or the slab.

What fails in Wimauma
Serving Wimauma and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
Built around a median year of 2016, under a third of the housing (6.7 percent) in Wimauma is older than 1990, so much of it was fitted for cooling the way builders of the mid 2010s went about it. Where a new house brings outdoor air in through a fresh-air duct tied to its return, the cooling takes in a steady stream of the summer's humid air along with the room air, and on mild, muggy days when the system runs only briefly, much of that water stays in the house.
Climate & seasonal risk
Wimauma spends two months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, in July and August; of 54.45 inches in a normal year, 9.96 fall in August, rain recorded at SUN CITY CENTER 1.0 NE 4.1 miles away and dewpoint 24.2 miles away. A bath fan ending at a soffit vent pushes shower steam out under the eave, where the attic's own intake vents can draw it straight back in, so through August, the wettest month, the air around the attic ducts gets wetter still.
What keeps buildings wet here
- Fresh-air ducts tied into the return on newly built houses, drawing humid outdoor air into a system that may run too briefly to dry it
- Bath fans that end at a soffit vent, whose exhaust is drawn back into the attic through the intake vents beside it
- A drain field at any of the 259 homes with septic systems on record, where new lots next door, graded higher, shed their August runoff onto it
