Why a Florida building stays wet: the four things that set that clock, laid out once for the whole state.

Windermere: why buildings stay damp

Across Isleworth, Belmere, and Summerport Beach and the rest of Windermere, a building still wet days after a leak is one phone call from a local pro. Under some 601 Windermere yards lies a septic drain field, making that patch of ground part of the house's plumbing.

The housing, by era

The median home in Windermere was built in 1989, with 52.1 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. Vaulted ceilings in a late-1980s house can leave the supply ducts squeezed through the shallow space between the vault and the roof deck, where the insulation around them is pressed thin, and the summer heat under the roof meets cold metal there and leaves its water on the ceiling.

Humid months and wet months

The normal dewpoint in Windermere stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock in July and August, reaching 75.2 in August; June is the wettest month, with 8.14 of 53.64 inches, rain recorded 0.8 miles away and dewpoint 12.6 miles away. Each June downpour reaches the drain fields behind the 601 homes with septic systems on record, and where a water softener empties its backwash into the same tank, each regeneration adds a load of water to ground with little room left.

The soft spots here

  • Supply ducts squeezed into the shallow space above vaulted ceilings in late-1980s houses, where pressed-thin insulation lets the cold metal sweat onto the ceiling
  • Water softeners emptying their backwash into the septic system at any of the 601 homes with septic systems on record, adding water to a field already taking June's rain
  • Roof spaces of houses on ground about 100 feet above sea level, some 52 miles from the open coast, where a damp summer ceiling traces to the ducts above it rather than to water from outside

Frequently asked questions

What stains the vaulted ceiling of a Windermere house along one line?

Vaulted ceilings in a late-1980s house leave a shallow space between the vault and the roof deck, and supply ducts run through it may have their insulation pressed thin. Through the summer that space is the hottest, dampest air in the house, and where it meets the cold duct, water condenses and soaks the drywall along the duct's line.

Does a water softener affect a Windermere septic system in the rainy season?

It can add to its load. Windermere has some 601 homes with septic systems on record, and where a softener empties its backwash into the same tank, each regeneration sends a batch of water to the drain field. In June the field is already taking the season's rain, and that extra water can be what fills it. Routing the backwash elsewhere eases it.

Where does summer water in a Windermere house usually come from?

From above and from the air. Windermere stands about 100 feet above sea level and some 52 miles from the open coast, so a wet ceiling or wall here traces to the roof, the ducts and air handler in the roof space, the plumbing, or humid air reaching a cold surface. Starting in the attic, over the stain, finds most sources fastest.
