Storm damage restoration in Charlotte Park, FL

What storms do to Charlotte Park properties

Storm calls in Charlotte Park mix wind-driven rain through windows and roofs with high water from canals, bays, or rivers. Board-up comes first, then extraction and structural drying.

Charlotte Park is a small canal community on Charlotte Harbor, just south of downtown Punta Gorda. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 1,795 residents in Charlotte Park. The median year of construction is about 2001, so many homes were built before Florida's post-2002 hurricane building-code updates. Canal-front homes in Charlotte Park sit at low elevation, where high tides and storm water can push under doors and into ground-level rooms. Older housing in Charlotte Park often has aging supply lines, water heaters, and roofs that have been through several storms.

Know your Charlotte Park property

Roughly 33% of housing units are held for seasonal or recreational use; storm damage is often found days later by a neighbor or manager. The median age in Charlotte Park is about 69 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey). We can send photos and paperwork to a family member or manager who helps with the claim. About 59% of housing units in Charlotte Park are mobile or manufactured homes, where manufactured homes are among the most wind-exposed structures in a storm. Median year built: 2001. That matters because homes built before 2002 predate the statewide Florida Building Code and its stronger wind provisions.

Securing and drying out

1. Put an emergency tarp over roof damage until a roofer can make repairs.
2. Pull standing water out of the building.
3. Remove soaked drywall, insulation, and flooring that cannot be dried.
4. Dry the structure and log readings until they are normal.
5. Record each source of water apart, because wind and flood are often different policies.
