Storm damage restoration in Treasure Island, FL

What storms do to Treasure Island properties

Storm calls in Treasure Island mix wind-driven rain through windows and roofs with high water from canals, bays, or rivers. Board-up comes first, then extraction and structural drying.

Treasure Island is a barrier-island city of beach condos and canal homes between St. Pete Beach and Madeira Beach. Helene's surge in 2024 flooded much of the city. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 6,590 residents in Treasure Island. The median year of construction is about 1972, so a large share of the housing stock predates modern Florida Building Code wind and water standards. Treasure Island is on a barrier island exposed to Gulf storm surge and wind-driven rain. Recent hurricanes have pushed water into ground floors and low streets. Canal-front homes in Treasure Island sit at low elevation, where high tides and storm water can push under doors and into ground-level rooms.

Insurance and your 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.

Local facts that shape the job in Treasure Island

Treasure Island's median age is roughly 63. If a relative or property manager is handling things for you, we send them the same documentation. The median home in Treasure Island was built around 1972 (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 33% of units are in buildings with 10 or more units, so wind-driven rain gets in around sliders and windows on upper floors. Location: roughly 8 miles west of St. Petersburg in Pinellas County.

Securing and drying out

1. Board up broken windows, sliders, and doors with metal panels.
2. Put an emergency tarp over roof damage until a roofer can make repairs.
3. Pull standing water out of the building.
4. Remove soaked drywall, insulation, and flooring that cannot be dried.
5. Dry the structure and log readings until they are normal.
