Storm risks in Buckingham
Hurricane wind and summer thunderstorms reach every street in Buckingham. We board up broken openings, tarp damaged roofs, extract water, and dry the structure. Roof repairs go to a licensed roofer.
Buckingham is a rural area of large lots east of Fort Myers, between the Orange River and Lehigh Acres. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 4,288 residents in Buckingham. The median year of construction is about 1993, so many homes were built before Florida's post-2002 hurricane building-code updates. Much of Buckingham is rural or large-lot, with longer driveways and, in some areas, private wells and septic systems.
Working with your insurer in Buckingham
After a hurricane, wind and flood claims often go to different insurers. We keep the documentation separate so each adjuster gets what they need. You stay in control of your claims.
Securing and drying out
- Close broken openings with metal panels.
- Tarp damaged roof sections to stop more water getting in.
- Pull standing water out of the building.
- Remove soaked drywall, insulation, and flooring that cannot be dried.
- Document wind damage and flood damage separately for your insurers.
After the storm passes
- Stay out of flood water; it can hide live wires and debris.
- Photograph damage inside and out before cleanup.
- Move valuables out of wet rooms.
Why Buckingham's housing stock matters here
Population: about 4,288 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimate). Buckingham is about 5 miles east of Fort Myers. Median year built: 1993. That matters because homes built before 2002 predate the statewide Florida Building Code and its stronger wind provisions.
