Storm damage we see in Ridge Wood Heights

Ridge Wood Heights is inland from the Gulf, so wind and heavy rain are the main storm threats: lifted shingles, broken windows, and water through soffits and sliders. We tarp, board up, extract, and dry.

Ridge Wood Heights is a residential area south of Sarasota, east of US 41. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 4,812 residents in Ridge Wood Heights. The median year of construction is about 1979, so a large share of the housing stock predates modern Florida Building Code wind and water standards. Older housing in Ridge Wood Heights often has aging supply lines, water heaters, and roofs that have been through several storms.

Ridge Wood Heights: local context

Ridge Wood Heights is about 4 miles southeast of Sarasota. Median year built: 1979. That matters because homes built before 2002 predate the statewide Florida Building Code and its stronger wind provisions. Population: about 4,812 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimate).

Before we arrive

  • Leave the breaker alone if you would have to stand in water to reach it.
  • Run generators outdoors, well away from doors and windows.
  • Report the claim to your insurer as soon as you can.

What we do after a Ridge Wood Heights storm

  1. Close broken openings with metal panels.
  2. Tarp damaged roof sections to stop more water getting in.
  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.
