What drying runs into in Fort Lauderdale
Serving Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding area, including Las Olas, Victoria Park, Poinsettia Heights.
Local housing stock
Roughly 73,696 of Fort Lauderdale's 101,691 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1973; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. Around a median of 1973 with nearly three quarters predating 1990, these houses run their cooling for most of the year, and the equipment in the closet or the garage sits in a pan fitted with a float switch wired into the controls.
Climate & seasonal risk
No month in Fort Lauderdale has a normal low below freezing, and January is the coolest at 59.6 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in September at 8.55 inches of an annual 62.97; rain recorded at OAKLAND PARK 0.3 SE 2 miles away and temperatures at FT LAUDERDALE BEACH 2.5 miles away. September is the wettest month at 8.55 inches of a 62.97-inch year and no month averages a freeze, so the equipment condenses water every day of the year; the drain carrying that away is working continuously and blocking slowly.
How water losses tend to end in Fort Lauderdale
- A safety device that works by stopping the cooling rather than by catching the water
- A shutdown in August read as an equipment fault rather than as a drainage warning
- Switches that stick or were never wired, so the pan fills and then goes over
