Original fixtures are aging out
Westchase's first homes are now around 30 years old. That's the age when original water heaters, supply valves, toilet fill valves and roof underlayment all start to fail. Many owners have replaced some but not all. A water heater in a garage or interior closet that lets go overnight can spread water through several rooms, under flooring and into baseboards before anyone's awake.
HOA communities and attached homes
Westchase has many villa and townhome sections where homes share walls. A leak in one can reach its neighbor, and HOA rules may divide responsibility for exterior walls and roofs. We document each home separately, with moisture maps showing where water started and what it reached, so owners, insurers and the association all have what they need.
Ponds and drainage
Retention ponds throughout Westchase collect stormwater, and many homes back up to one. In long rain events like Milton, pond levels rose and some low yards flooded. Most homes are built above the ponds' design levels, but water can still reach patios, pool cages and low back doors. See flood cleanup.
