Storm damage we see in Holmes Beach
Storm calls in Holmes Beach 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.
Holmes Beach is the largest city on Anna Maria Island, with canal homes on the bay side and rentals along the Gulf. Helene's surge flooded much of the island in 2024. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 3,076 residents in Holmes Beach. The median year of construction is about 1975, so a large share of the housing stock predates modern Florida Building Code wind and water standards. Holmes Beach is on a barrier island exposed to Gulf storm surge and wind-driven rain. Recent hurricanes have pushed water into ground floors and low streets. Canal-front homes in Holmes Beach sit at low elevation, where high tides and storm water can push under doors and into ground-level rooms.
How storm restoration works
- Close broken openings with metal panels.
- Tarp damaged roof sections to stop more water getting in.
- Extract storm and flood water from floors and carpet.
- Cut out wet materials that will not dry in place.
- Document wind damage and flood damage separately for your insurers.
