How storms hit Iona
As a low or barrier location, Iona takes both surge and wind. After a storm we secure openings with metal panels, extract water that came in, and dry walls and floors before mold starts.
Iona lies between McGregor Boulevard and Summerlin Road on the approach to Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach, with canal and bay-front neighborhoods that flooded in Ian. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 14,295 residents in Iona. The median year of construction is about 1991, so many homes were built before Florida's post-2002 hurricane building-code updates. Low ground near the water in Iona has taken storm surge in recent hurricanes. Canal-front homes in Iona sit at low elevation, where high tides and storm water can push under doors and into ground-level rooms.
Insurance and your claim
Emergency board-up and tarping are part of protecting the property from further damage, which most policies expect. We document everything we do. Coverage is up to your policy.
What we do after a Iona storm
- 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.
- Record each source of water apart, because wind and flood are often different policies.
Why Iona's housing stock matters here
The median home in Iona was built around 1991 (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 22% of housing units in Iona are mobile or manufactured homes, where manufactured homes are among the most wind-exposed structures in a storm. The Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey puts Iona at about 14,295 residents. About 32% of units are in buildings with 10 or more units, so wind-driven rain gets in around sliders and windows on upper floors.
Stay safe first
- Do not wade through standing water.
- Take photos of the roof, openings, and every wet room.
