Charleston Park hurricane and storm damage cleanup

Wind and water in Charleston Park

Hurricane wind and summer thunderstorms reach every street in Charleston Park. We board up broken openings, tarp damaged roofs, extract water, and dry the structure. Roof repairs go to a licensed roofer.

Charleston Park is a small rural community in eastern Lee County, near Alva. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 33 residents in Charleston Park. The median year of construction is about 1982, so many homes were built before Florida's post-2002 hurricane building-code updates. Much of Charleston Park is rural or large-lot, with longer driveways and, in some areas, private wells and septic systems.

Insurance and your claim

Emergency board-up and tarping are part of protecting the property from further damage, which most policies expect. We document everything we do. Coverage is up to your policy.

Why Charleston Park's housing stock matters here

Median year built: 1982. That matters because homes built before 2002 predate the statewide Florida Building Code and its stronger wind provisions. Roughly 29% of housing units are held for seasonal or recreational use; storm damage is often found days later by a neighbor or manager. Charleston Park is about 16 miles east of Fort Myers. Population: about 33 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimate).

What we do after a Charleston Park storm

1. Tarp damaged roof sections to stop more water getting in.
2. Extract storm and flood water from floors and carpet.
3. Remove soaked drywall, insulation, and flooring that cannot be dried.
4. Set air movers and dehumidifiers and track moisture readings until dry.
5. Record each source of water apart, because wind and flood are often different policies.

After the storm passes

• Keep generators outside and far from the house.
• Report the claim to your insurer as soon as you can.
• Get documents, photos, and electronics out of the water.
