What storms do to Ellenton properties
Hurricane wind and summer thunderstorms reach every street in Ellenton. We board up broken openings, tarp damaged roofs, extract water, and dry the structure. Roof repairs go to a licensed roofer.
Ellenton is a community on the north side of the Manatee River along I-75, home of Gamble Plantation Historic State Park. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 5,391 residents in Ellenton. The median year of construction is about 1987, so many homes were built before Florida's post-2002 hurricane building-code updates. Older housing in Ellenton often has aging supply lines, water heaters, and roofs that have been through several storms.
Why Ellenton's housing stock matters here
Median year built: 1987. That matters because homes built before 2002 predate the statewide Florida Building Code and its stronger wind provisions. About 22% of housing units in Ellenton are mobile or manufactured homes, where manufactured homes are among the most wind-exposed structures in a storm. Ellenton is about 4 miles northeast of Bradenton. Population: about 5,391 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimate).
After the storm passes
- Do not wade through standing water.
- Leave the breaker alone if you would have to stand in water to reach it.
- Take photos of the roof, openings, and every wet room.
Our storm response
- Put an emergency tarp over roof damage until a roofer can make repairs.
- Extract storm and flood water from floors and carpet.
- Cut out wet materials that will not dry in place.
- Dry the structure and log readings until they are normal.
- Record each source of water apart, because wind and flood are often different policies.
