Storm and flood water cleanup in Sarasota

Sarasota after a hurricane

Sarasota sits on the bay, with low areas near the water exposed to surge and all of the city exposed to wind. Milton in 2024 brought damaging wind and heavy rain across the area, and flat roofs and big glass walls on modernist homes are especially exposed.

Sarasota is the Sarasota County seat, on Sarasota Bay. Downtown and the Rosemary District have high-rise and mid-rise condos, older neighborhoods like Laurel Park and Southside Village have bungalows and mid-century homes, and the city is known for Sarasota School modernist houses with flat roofs and large glass walls. Hurricane Milton made landfall in Sarasota County in October 2024.

Before we arrive

• Do not wade through standing water.
• Turn off power to wet areas only if you can do it safely.
• Take photos of the roof, openings, and every wet room.

Who pays, and who keeps the claim

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.

Our storm response

1. Board up broken windows, sliders, and doors with metal panels.
2. Tarp damaged roof sections to stop more water getting in.
3. Cut out wet materials that will not dry in place.
4. Set air movers and dehumidifiers and track moisture readings until dry.
5. Record each source of water apart, because wind and flood are often different policies.

Local facts that shape the job in Sarasota

Renters occupy about 43% of homes in Sarasota; we can coordinate access with tenants and send documentation to the owner.
