A new-construction boom
A lot of Marion Oaks' homes are only a few years old. New homes skip old-pipe problems, but in their first years we see loose fixture connections, supply hoses that weren't fully tightened, AC condensate lines without float switches and drain lines with poor slope. Luxury vinyl plank flooring, common in new builds, traps water against the slab. If your home is still under builder warranty, document the leak before repairs, since the builder may be responsible.

The older homes in between
Scattered among the new houses are homes built decades ago, some with original water heaters, older supply lines and roofs near the end of their life. These are the homes where a slab leak or a failed galvanized fitting is more likely. Warm spots on tile, a running-water sound or a jump in the water bill are signs of a hidden leak.
Open lots and wind
With many lots still undeveloped, homes in Marion Oaks have less shelter from wind than in a mature neighborhood. Tropical storms drive rain against windows, doors and roof edges, and new roofs are being tested by their first real storms. After a storm, check the attic for damp insulation and look around windows and sliders for water stains. See storm damage restoration.
