Auburndale is an inland community of lakes and rolling ridge in Polk County, Florida, home to roughly 16,000 residents. Auburndale is a Polk County city between Lakeland and Winter Haven, on the shores of Lake Ariana and Lake Juliana. Water damage here follows the pattern of the area: lakefront homes, older ranch-style houses, and newer subdivisions, plus manufactured-home communities. When water gets into one of those buildings, the clock starts immediately, because Florida's warm, humid air lets mold begin growing in as little as 24 to 48 hours.
Auburndale sits roughly 164 feet above sea level. If you are dealing with a leak, a flooded room, or storm damage in Auburndale, call (305) 789-7628 any time, day or night.

Why water damage happens in Auburndale
Polk County is home to hundreds of lakes and the headwaters of the Peace Rive.
Water damage in Auburndale usually comes from a short list of causes. These are the ones to watch for:
- Rising lake levels and saturated ground after long tropical rain events
- Roof leaks from summer thunderstorms and wind, on older shingle and tile roofs
- AC condensate leaks and plumbing failures in attics and slab foundations
