Orlando's average dew point hovers near 70 degrees from June through September. When interior surfaces cool below the dew point because of aggressive AC operation, condensation forms on walls, particularly on north-facing exterior walls and in poorly insulated areas. This constant cycle of moisture deposition weakens paint adhesion and saturates wallpaper paste. Homes built before 2002 often lack adequate vapor barriers in walls, allowing exterior humidity to migrate through porous concrete block and condense inside conditioned spaces. The result is chronic blistering wall paint and loose wallpaper in rooms with no obvious leak source. Understanding this climate-specific challenge separates effective remediation from temporary cosmetic fixes.
