Old citrus town, new growth
Auburndale's older neighborhoods date from its citrus-packing days, with older homes that have original or patched plumbing. Around them, new subdivisions have been built quickly in recent years. The result is a mix of problems: drain backups and galvanized leaks in older homes, and supply hoses, ice-maker lines and AC condensate issues in new ones. See water damage restoration.
Manufactured home communities
Several manufactured home communities sit around Auburndale, many of them 55+ parks with homes from the 1980s and 1990s. The weak point in those homes is usually a connection you can't see: a fitting at the water heater, a drain joint under the kitchen, or the flexible line where the home connects to the park's water service. Because the underbelly hides the water, a warped floor near the tub or a musty smell from the heating vents is often the first clue. Park rules sometimes limit who can work on site, so we check with management before starting.
Lake Ariana and heavy rain
Lake Ariana is central to Auburndale, and like other Polk County lakes it rises during long rain events. Lakefront homes and low streets that drain toward it are the first to see water. Check your address on the FEMA flood map if you're near the water.
