Storm risks in East Lake
Hurricane wind and summer thunderstorms reach every street in East Lake. We board up broken openings, tarp damaged roofs, extract water, and dry the structure. Roof repairs go to a licensed roofer.
East Lake is an unincorporated area of north Pinellas on the east side of Lake Tarpon, with golf and gated communities built mostly since the 1980s. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 33,629 residents in East Lake. The median year of construction is about 1990, so many homes were built before Florida's post-2002 hurricane building-code updates. Gated and golf communities in East Lake often need gate or management access for crews, and association rules can affect exterior work. Much of East Lake is newer planned development, with block homes and HOA communities built since the 1990s.
After the storm passes
- Take photos of the roof, openings, and every wet room.

- Get documents, photos, and electronics out of the water.
What we do after a East Lake storm
- Close broken openings with metal panels.
- Put an emergency tarp over roof damage until a roofer can make repairs.
- Pull standing water out of the building.
- Cut out wet materials that will not dry in place.
- Set air movers and dehumidifiers and track moisture readings until dry.
Documentation for your insurer
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.
East Lake: local context
The median home in East Lake was built around 1990 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey); homes built before 2002 predate the statewide Florida Building Code and its stronger wind provisions. About 20% of units are in buildings with 10 or more units, so wind-driven rain gets in around sliders and windows on upper floors. Location: roughly 25 miles north of St. Petersburg in Pinellas County. The Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey puts East Lake at about 33,629 residents.
