Humidity & Moisture Drying Winter Springs, FL
When the outdoor air is wetter than the building, opening windows adds water. Drying means a closed building and conditioned air. The building is closed to outdoor air and its air is dehumidified, because in the humid season outside air adds water. Materials are read until they match unaffected material in the same building, including inside block and slab.
Wet days later? That is worth a call
Often needed alongside
- 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.
- 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.
Frequently asked questions
When does standing water show up in a Winter Springs yard?
Mostly in the rainy season. The city's flood information notes that most shallow flooding and standing water happen when the groundwater table is near the surface, during the rainy season or after many rain events. With the ground already full from below, a June downpour spreads across the yard instead of soaking in, and the edge of a slab and the bottom of a wall sit in it longest.
How far above Lake Jesup does Winter Springs stand?
The city lies on the south shore of Lake Jesup, and its ground runs from about 76 feet above sea level in the undulating southeast to three or four feet at the lake's edge. The several creeks in the city all carry its runoff to the lake. Houses toward the shore sit on the lowest land, where that runoff arrives last on its way out.
What does a high water table mean for a Winter Springs septic system?
Some 391 homes in the city have septic systems on record. A drain field works by letting water sink into the soil beneath it, and the city notes that the groundwater table comes near the surface in the rainy season. When it does, the field has little dry soil left below, and after a run of June storms household water can rise back toward the lowest drain.
