May marks the beginning of storm season in Florida, and with it comes a significant rise in the risk of flooding. While hurricanes are not yet on the radar, frequent and intense rainstorms already pose a serious threat to homes and businesses across the state.
At Dry Up Restoration, we want to make sure you’re informed, prepared, and protected.
Why flood risk is real — even without hurricanes
In Florida, storm season doesn’t wait for hurricanes to start causing damage. Heavy rains, especially in low-lying areas or places with poor drainage systems, can lead to sudden flooding. This water can enter your property quickly, damaging structures, furniture, electrical systems, and even your foundation.
Without quick action, the situation can escalate. Within just 24 to 48 hours, water damage can lead to mold growth — creating health hazards and increasing your restoration costs.
What proactive property owners should do
Getting your property flood-ready doesn’t have to be overwhelming. It’s about planning ahead and taking smart steps today. Here’s what we recommend:
- Inspect your drainage systems: Make sure gutters, downspouts, and storm drains are clear of debris.
- Seal vulnerable areas: Check for cracks around windows, doors, and the foundation where water can sneak in.
- Elevate key systems: If possible, raise electrical panels, appliances, and HVAC systems above potential flood levels.
- Know your emergency contacts: Save the number of a trusted water damage expert, like Dry Up Restoration, for immediate support when needed.
- Review your insurance: Understand your flood coverage and make sure it’s up to date.
