Warranty first, insurance second
A lot of Tradition's homes are still inside the builder's warranty period. When a leak turns out to be a loose fitting, a drain line with no slope or a missing AC float switch, that can be a construction defect the builder should fix, not an insurance claim. Before anything is torn out, take photos of the source and the damage, and ask us to note the cause in writing. That record helps whether the builder, your insurer or both end up paying.

Open land west of I-95
Tradition was built on former ranch and citrus land west of the city, with few mature trees to break the wind. When storms like Nicole and the 2004 hurricanes crossed the Treasure Coast, open neighborhoods took the full force of the wind. Wind-driven rain past sliders and windows is a common source of water damage here, along with lifted shingles on newer roofs. See storm damage restoration.
Seasonal residents
Tradition's 55+ communities include many seasonal residents. A leak in an empty home or humidity with the AC off can go unnoticed for weeks. Leak sensors and automatic shutoff valves are worth installing. See mold remediation.
