Old Miakka and hurricane season

Hurricane wind and summer thunderstorms reach every street in Old Miakka. We board up broken openings, tarp damaged roofs, extract water, and dry the structure. Roof repairs go to a licensed roofer.

Old Miakka is a rural community in eastern Sarasota County near Myakka River State Park, with ranch land and large lots. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 1,578 residents in Old Miakka. The median year of construction is about 1986, so many homes were built before Florida's post-2002 hurricane building-code updates. Much of Old Miakka is rural or large-lot, with longer driveways and, in some areas, private wells and septic systems.

Working with your insurer in Old Miakka

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.

Before we arrive

  • Turn off power to wet areas only if you can do it safely.
  • Photograph damage inside and out before cleanup.
  • Keep generators outside and far from the house.

Why Old Miakka's housing stock matters here

Population: about 1,578 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimate). Old Miakka is about 16 miles east of Sarasota. Median year built: 1986. That matters because homes built before 2002 predate the statewide Florida Building Code and its stronger wind provisions.
