Orlando sits 50 miles inland, but hurricane storm surge is not the only threat. Wind-driven rain during tropical storms and hurricanes overwhelms roof drainage systems and forces water through the smallest gaps in flashing and window seals. The 2004 hurricane season taught Central Florida residents that even Category 1 storms can cause catastrophic interior flooding when sustained winds push rain horizontally for hours. Older homes in neighborhoods like Colonialtown and Thornton Park have original windows and doors that cannot withstand modern storm intensity. Finding a reputable water damage company before hurricane season means you have a plan when everyone else is scrambling. During peak disaster periods, restoration companies get overwhelmed. Existing clients get priority. If you wait until water is pouring through your ceiling, you might wait days for help.
Reliance Water Damage Restoration Orlando operates year-round in this community. We understand Orange County building codes and work directly with local adjusters from every major insurance carrier operating in Florida. We know the claims process for Citizens Property Insurance, which covers many Orlando homeowners after private insurers left the state. When you hire a restoration company with deep roots in Central Florida, you get someone who understands the unique challenges of this climate and regulatory environment. We are not a national chain dispatching crews from out of state during disasters. Our technicians live here, and they will still be here to honor commitments after the storm passes.
