A sudden tank failure is often covered by insurance, and the cause and extent are documented from the first visit to support the claim.
In Surfside, FL, the low elevation and barrier-island location mean water heater leaks can quickly affect multiple units in mid-century condos or spread across single-family home slabs.

Salt air accelerates corrosion on water heater tanks and connections. Frequent supply-line issues in dense multifamily buildings, combined with the area's high water table, can turn a small tank leak into a significant indoor flooding event in Surfside.
