We respond to storm damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Osceola County.

Our local Osceola County team is a leader in storm damage restoration services. St. Cloud averages 52 inches of rain each year, making it one of the rainiest cities in Florida. Water intrusion issues are a common challenge for residents, so here are some tips from the Insurance Information Institute to keep your home protected from unwanted water:

You can prevent water from entering your home by inspecting your home’s exterior for any place where water can enter the home and making repairs as needed.

• Caulk and seal windows.
• Inspect the roof for missing and aging shingles.
• Check your rain gutters and remove any debris that may be clogging them.
• Check your downspouts and clear any clogs and make sure they are draining away from the house.
• Gutter guards are a good way to prevent clogs and water intrusion into the house.
• Make sure water drains away from the building. After a storm, or when the ground is already saturated by rainwater, the water may enter into the foundation wall through any cracks.
