Orlando sits 60 miles inland but remains vulnerable to hurricane flooding through storm surge, rainfall, and wind-driven water intrusion. Hurricane Ian in 2022 dumped over 15 inches of rain on parts of Orange County in less than 24 hours, overwhelming municipal drainage and flooding hundreds of properties that had never experienced water damage. The combination of saturated ground from summer thunderstorms and hurricane rainfall creates compound flooding where water has nowhere to go. Properties near retention ponds in master-planned communities face additional risk when those systems exceed capacity and backflow into yards and homes.
Effective flood damage restoration in Orlando requires understanding how the region's infrastructure handles extreme weather. We know which neighborhoods flood first during heavy rain, which drainage systems fail regularly, and how Orange County's building codes have evolved to address water intrusion. Our technicians train specifically on Florida construction methods, from concrete block exterior walls that wick water through mortar joints to the stucco systems common in 1990s subdivisions. This local expertise means we identify problems other companies miss and apply solutions proven effective in Central Florida's climate.
