How storms hit Desoto Lakes
Hurricane wind and summer thunderstorms reach every street in Desoto Lakes. We board up broken openings, tarp damaged roofs, extract water, and dry the structure. Roof repairs go to a licensed roofer.
Desoto Lakes is a small residential area in northern Sarasota County near University Parkway. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 1,738 residents in Desoto Lakes. The median year of construction is about 1974, so a large share of the housing stock predates modern Florida Building Code wind and water standards. Older housing in Desoto Lakes often has aging supply lines, water heaters, and roofs that have been through several storms.
After the storm passes
- Do not wade through standing water.
- Run generators outdoors, well away from doors and windows.
- Report the claim to your insurer as soon as you can.
Know your Desoto Lakes property
Median year built: 1974. That matters because homes built before 2002 predate the statewide Florida Building Code and its stronger wind provisions. Population: about 1,738 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimate). Desoto Lakes is about 4 miles northeast of Sarasota. About 14% of units are in buildings with 10 or more units, so wind-driven rain gets in around sliders and windows on upper floors.
Who pays, and who keeps the claim
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.
What we do after a Desoto Lakes storm
- Close broken openings with metal panels.
- Tarp damaged roof sections to stop more water getting in.
- Cut out wet materials that will not dry in place.
- Set air movers and dehumidifiers and track moisture readings until dry.
- Record each source of water apart, because wind and flood are often different policies.
