Wind and water in North Port

North Port is inland from the Gulf but crossed by the Myakkahatchee Creek and a large network of drainage waterways, and it borders the Myakka River. Ian showed that heavy rain alone can flood homes here. Wind damage to windows and shingle roofs is also common.

North Port is the largest city in Sarasota County by population and by area. Most of it is a wide grid of single-family homes, a lot of them newer block construction, laid out around drainage waterways and the Myakkahatchee Creek, with I-75 running through and Warm Mineral Springs on its south side. Hurricane Ian caused severe flooding in parts of North Port in 2022.

Our storm response

  1. Close broken openings with metal panels.
  2. Put an emergency tarp over roof damage until a roofer can make repairs.
  3. Extract storm and flood water from floors and carpet.
  4. Dry the structure and log readings until they are normal.
  5. Record each source of water apart, because wind and flood are often different policies.

Claims paperwork

Wind damage is usually a homeowners claim; rising water usually needs a flood policy. We document each source separately with photos, readings, and a written scope. You keep the claim; we are not a public adjuster.

Before we arrive

  • 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.
  • Get documents, photos, and electronics out of the water.
