Put the sensor where Florida water actually lands.Carlo DeLucahttps://floridadamp.com/blog/2026-09-11-overflow-pan-should-text-you/https://floridadamp.com/blog/2026-09-11-overflow-pan-should-text-you/Fri, 11 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTA float switch kills the AC. A leak puck on the pan tells your phone. In Florida those are two different jobs.Carlo DeLucahttps://floridadamp.com/blog/2026-09-10-phone-knows-before-the-ceiling/https://floridadamp.com/blog/2026-09-10-phone-knows-before-the-ceiling/Thu, 10 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTA Wi-Fi leak puck texts you when the pan, washer, or heater starts to weep. Florida water damage is a phone problem now.Carlo DeLucahttps://floridadamp.com/blog/2026-09-10-rh-alert-is-not-a-puddle/https://floridadamp.com/blog/2026-09-10-rh-alert-is-not-a-puddle/Thu, 10 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTA hygrometer on your phone tracks vapor. A leak puck tracks water on the floor. Florida homes need both, and they are not the same job.Reed Langhttps://floridadamp.com/blog/2026-09-09-quiet-hurricane-season/https://floridadamp.com/blog/2026-09-09-quiet-hurricane-season/Wed, 09 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTNOAA called 2026 below-normal. Five tropical storms, zero hurricanes so far. Peak week still means wet walls. Stage the gear and measure indoor RH.Reed Langhttps://floridadamp.com/blog/2026-09-09-rh-after-overnight-rain/https://floridadamp.com/blog/2026-09-09-rh-after-overnight-rain/Wed, 09 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMTOvernight rain stops. Indoor RH does not. How Florida houses hold water, what to measure at dawn, and when a dehumidifier earns its keep.Reed Langhttps://floridadamp.com/blog/2026-08-27-drywall-looks-dry/https://floridadamp.com/blog/2026-08-27-drywall-looks-dry/Thu, 27 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMTPaper face hides a wet core. After wind-driven rain, pin the wall and compare to a dry closet. Looking dry is not a reading.Reed Langhttps://floridadamp.com/blog/2026-08-13-house-smelled-closed/https://floridadamp.com/blog/2026-08-13-house-smelled-closed/Thu, 13 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMTYou learn this on the drive back from the airport. A closed Florida house holds water. Log RH before you leave, not after you smell it.Reed Langhttps://floridadamp.com/blog/2026-08-06-closet-was-dripping/https://floridadamp.com/blog/2026-08-06-closet-was-dripping/Thu, 06 Aug 2026 00:00:00 GMTA clogged condensate line fills the pan while the thermostat still says cool. Flush the PVC before you buy another dehumidifier.Carlo DeLucahttps://floridadamp.com/blog/2026-07-30-bucket-at-two-am/https://floridadamp.com/blog/2026-07-30-bucket-at-two-am/Thu, 30 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMTCondos without a floor drain fail on the bucket. Continuous drain or a pump is the whole job. Quiet does not mean dry.Reed Langhttps://floridadamp.com/blog/2026-07-16-cube-in-the-garage/https://floridadamp.com/blog/2026-07-16-cube-in-the-garage/Thu, 16 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMTThe Cube is a bedroom machine. A hot attached garage needs high-temp capacity and a hose, not a bucket you empty twice a night.Reed Langhttps://floridadamp.com/blog/2026-07-02-sixty-eight-still-clammy/https://floridadamp.com/blog/2026-07-02-sixty-eight-still-clammy/Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMTTurning the AC colder is not dehumidification. Florida houses go clammy when the coil drops temperature faster than it drops moisture.Reed Langhttps://floridadamp.com/blog/2026-06-18-garage-own-climate/https://floridadamp.com/blog/2026-06-18-garage-own-climate/Thu, 18 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMTRusted tools are how most Florida garages announce themselves. The house AC does not condition that bay. Treat it as a separate zone with its own drain.Reed Lang
