Plumbing from the 1970s and '80s
BVL's homes were built during the years polybutylene supply pipe and early plastic drain lines were common. Many have been partially replumbed, and many haven't. Polybutylene tends to fail at fittings, and older water heaters in garages and utility closets are a frequent source of overnight floods. If you're unsure what's in your walls, check the pipe coming out near the water heater. See burst pipe repair.
Canals and heavy rain
BVL's canals and lakes are part of its drainage system. During long rain events, they rise, and low streets and yards near them can pond. Most water damage here is still from inside the house, but homes backing onto canals should know their flood designation and consider flood coverage, especially after seeing how Ian flooded inland Osceola County in 2022.
Townhomes and condos
BVL includes townhome and condo communities where one unit's leak can reach its neighbors. Each owner needs documentation of where the water started and what was damaged, and the association needs the same for shared elements. We document each unit separately.
