Water Damage Restoration in Citrus Park, FL

How do storm losses reach a newer home here?

A newer home in the subdivisions usually has its water entry at the garage door, the patio door or a window on the storm side. Water runs along the outside of the house and finds the seal at the door, and then it runs across the floor to the rooms beyond.

The crew reads the door, the seal and the threshold on the first visit, and it records the height of the floor against the ground outside.

What does the shopping center add to a loss?

A shopping center has shared roofs, drains and walls, and a leak in one unit can reach others. The response reads the neighboring units and the shared spaces, and it records the damage to each unit separately.

The owner or manager arranges access and the shared systems. The shop's trading hours and its stock are planned into the work, and the record goes to the owner and to the occupier's insurer.

How do car parks and drains affect the homes nearby?

Car parks and roofs drain toward the lowest point, and that point is often a drain or a low corner of the site. In a storm the drain can fill and the water can run toward nearby homes. The crew checks the drains and the ground level as part of the first visit, and it records the path the water took.

A homeowner beside the shopping center should keep photographs of the water and the drain. The record is useful for the homeowner, the center's owner and the insurer, and it shows where the water came from.

Patio doors and sliding glass on the storm side of a subdivision home are a common entry for wind-driven rain, and the water runs along the track and across the floor. The crew checks the door track, the sill and the glass seal, and it records the height of the water on the floor against the door.
