Subject: Discussion on Water Invasion into Single Family Homes
Background Summary: After three hurricanes struck central Florida in 2004, complaints were made by
homeowners regarding water intrusion into newer single-family homes due to improper waterproofing by the
builders. The City of Winter Garden and other local governments have implemented or are considering
implementation of specific ordinances requiring waterproofing prior to painting.
Issue: Should the City Commissioners consider adopting an ordinance to address water intrusion into single-family
homes and associated waterproofing requirements?
Recommendations: Staff recommends against adopting an ordinance similar to Winter Garden regarding water
intrusion until more information becomes available regarding specific waterproofing materials and application
standards. Currently, the Metro Orlando HBA and Central Florida Building Officials Assoc. are investigating
remedies to this issue. Staff recommends delaying official action on this issue until a definitive corrective action is
identified by these groups and implementing an ordinance at that time.
