Local risks: Winter Garden and Orange County

The risks in Winter Garden in Orange County are shaped by Florida's climate and housing. Florida's year-round humidity, intense afternoon storms and hurricane season create the most mold-friendly conditions in the country, and air-conditioning condensate leaks are one of the most common sources of interior water damage. Storm surge, roof damage and wind-driven rain during tropical systems account for many of the largest losses. Problems tend to peak during hurricane season (june through november), but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

Typical emergencies in the area:

• Persistent humidity that slows natural drying and lets damp materials turn into mold problems
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Leaking shower pans and failed tile grout
• Washing machine hose bursts and dishwasher or refrigerator supply line leaks
• Tidal and coastal flooding in low-lying neighborhoods, plus salt-air corrosion of plumbing
• Slab leaks from supply lines running beneath concrete foundations
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Air-conditioning condensate leaks and sweating ductwork in closets and attics
• Storm damage that let rain into attics and walls

First steps for Winter Garden property owners

The first hour determines how much can be saved. While a crew is on the way:

• Do not run the HVAC system if ducts or the air handler got wet, and do not use household fans on sewage or flood water
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

When and where damage happens in Winter Garden

Slab-on-grade construction is common, which means supply lines run beneath the concrete and slab leaks can go unnoticed until flooring buckles or the water bill jumps.

Hurricane season brings the largest losses, but year-round humidity and heavy summer rain keep crews busy every month. Cooking fires are the leading cause year-round, with electrical and heating fires rising in the cooler months. Humid summers mean mold can establish itself in days, and air-conditioned interiors create condensation on cold surfaces that keeps feeding it.
