Local housing stock
Only 64.9 percent of Cape Coral's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 2000 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. With a median of 2000 and about a third of the stock older, the cooling equipment was put in the garage rather than in a closet or an attic, and in a great many of these the return is open to the garage instead of ducted back from the living space.
Climate & seasonal risk
August brings 10.43 of the 57.41 inches Cape Coral sees in a normal year, and August averages 83.4 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at FT MYERS PAGE FLD AP, 9.3 miles away. August alone brings over ten inches of a fifty-seven inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the garage is the most humid enclosure on the property in that stretch; a return drawing from it is taking the wettest air in the building and distributing it to every room.
How water losses tend to end in Cape Coral
- A return open to the garage, so the system draws from an unconditioned space rather than from the house
- Garage air that is humid for months, so the equipment is fighting a supply it created for itself
- Moisture appearing in rooms that were never wet, because the system delivers it there
