24/7 Water Damage Restoration in Silver Springs Shores, Ocala

Houses from several decades

Because Silver Springs Shores filled in slowly, homes range from some of the first built in the subdivision to brand-new construction. Many of the older homes were built in the years polybutylene supply pipe was common, and it still turns up behind walls. Water heaters in garages and utility rooms of those older homes are often on their second or third replacement, and a tank that corrodes through can spread water across the slab into several rooms overnight.

Low lots and heavy rain

With the area's sandy soil over limestone, most rain soaks in. During long tropical rain events, though, the ground saturates, and homes on lower lots or next to drainage retention areas can see standing water reach patios, garages and slab edges. That's outside water, so the cleanup follows flood cleanup rules and the claim usually depends on flood coverage.

AC leaks in the long cooling season

Air conditioners here run most of the year, and many older homes have air handlers in interior closets with condensate lines that clog with algae. When the pan overflows, the first sign is wet carpet or swollen baseboards around the closet, or a musty smell when the system starts up. A float switch that shuts the unit off when the pan fills is a small fix that prevents a lot of damage. See AC and HVAC condensation leak damage.
