Local coverage

Provider coverage isn't the same in every community. Each page below covers the housing and site conditions relevant to that particular town.

Newer subdivisions here are tight enough that humidity has nowhere to go, so condensation inside a sealed envelope is more common than a leak.

Coastal plain soil and wooded lots keep ground moisture available year-round, and crawl spaces over it condense through the whole cooling season.

Elevated structures in constant salt air dry slowly and take wind-driven rain into wall assemblies through gaps ordinary rainfall never finds.

Low-lying ground means water has been through many of these houses before, so an assessment should look inside cavities rather than only at surfaces.

Building ages vary sharply street to street, and older assemblies move air and moisture between floors in ways newer construction does not.

Flat terrain gives surface water nowhere to drain, so the moisture reaching a crawl space is frequently arriving from the lot rather than the roof.

Island humidity, heavy tree cover and crawl-space construction combine to keep drying potential low, which is what makes problems recur here.

Planned neighborhoods on flat coastal ground depend on their drainage design working; when it stops, the moisture shows up indoors.
