Local housing stock
The median home in Winter Garden was built in 2004, with 24.6 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. In a two-story house of the mid-2000s cooled by one system with its thermostat downstairs, the cooling shuts off as soon as the lower floor is comfortable, so the upstairs rooms run warmer and hold more of the air's water, which settles on their coldest surfaces, the window frames and the walls of closets on outside walls.
Climate & seasonal risk
Winter Garden spends two months in which the dewpoint never falls below 70 degrees, day or night, in July and August; of 53.64 inches in a normal year, 8.14 fall in June, rain recorded 3.8 miles away and dewpoint 16 miles away. Winter Garden's center stands about 99 feet above sea level, but where a lot near Lake Apopka's south shore sits on the dark muck that drew the first farmers, the soil holds June's rain long after sand would have let it go, and the slab edge and the bottom of the walls on that side stay wet between storms.
What keeps buildings wet here
- Upstairs rooms of two-story houses cooled by one system with a downstairs thermostat, where the cooling stops before the upper floor's air has been dried
- Lots on the organic muck near Lake Apopka's south shore, which holds June's rain against slab edges and the bottom of the walls
- Hairline cracks running from the corners of window openings in the stucco of newer houses, where wind-driven rain reaches the block or framing behind
