Well Built: Home, Business, & Mindset #4

What actually happens when a home fails?

Not on the surface… but behind the walls, beneath the finishes, and over time. Most people don’t think about it... until they have to.

Water intrusion is one of the most common (and most misunderstood) drivers of damage in homes today. And in a humid coastal climate like ours, it’s not a matter of if… it’s a matter of when and how.

For the fourth installment of Well Built: Home, Business & Mindset, we’re bringing together two experts who see both sides of the story:

• Aaron Stevens, Building Envelope & Water Intrusion Specialist — uncovering how and where homes are failing
• Matthew Vanderford, Property Adjuster — seeing what happens after the damage is done and how those realities impact homeowners, claims, and long-term valueThis is not a technical lecture.

It’s a real conversation about:

• Where homes are most vulnerable (and why)
• The hidden ways water moves through a structure
• What’s showing up in insurance claims today
• The gap between what people think is covered vs. what actually is
• How building practices, materials, and climate are colliding
• What a “low-risk” home actually looks like moving forward

Whether you’re a homeowner, realtor, builder, investor, or simply someone who wants to better understand how homes perform over time- this conversation is for you. Because the future of real estate isn’t just about location or design. It’s about durability, resilience, and understanding risk before it becomes a problem.
