Are new homes in Lake Nona susceptible to water damage?
Yes — new construction in Lake Nona has a different water damage risk profile than older homes, but not a lower one. The most common causes in Lake Nona's new builds are AC condensate overflow (improperly sloped drain lines and lack of regular maintenance), window flashing failures that develop 5–10 years after construction, and builder-grade copper fitting failures under Central Florida's hard water. Florida's 74–77% humidity means any moisture intrusion leads to mold within 24 hours, regardless of how new the home is.
Can I file a warranty claim for water damage in a Lake Nona new construction home?
Florida's new home warranty statute (§553.84) provides limited structural warranty coverage for 10 years and systems warranty for 2 years. However, water damage resulting from normal wear or inadequate maintenance is typically excluded. Builder warranty claims for water damage require documentation that the source was a construction defect — DryGuard's moisture mapping and cause-of-loss documentation can support warranty claim narratives when a construction defect is the identified source.
How quickly can DryGuard respond to water damage in Lake Nona?
DryGuard dispatches crews across all Lake Nona zip codes (32827, 32832) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Lake Nona's distance from central Orlando means we maintain equipment and crew resources on the east side specifically. In Orlando's 24-hour mold window, response time is critical — call immediately when water damage is discovered, regardless of the hour.
