Our local Sanibel/Captiva Island/Fort Myers Beach teams are trusted storm damage restoration leaders. Sanibel, Florida, is no stranger to extreme weather, particularly during hurricane season. With its coastal location and frequent storms, homeowners must take proactive measures to minimize storm damage. One of the most significant threats during storms is wind and water damage, which can impact roofs, windows, and structural integrity.

For businesses, it's crucial to start with a well-maintained roof. Storms, especially with heavy rain, can easily tear off shingles or cause leaks. Regular inspections can help identify weak points in your roof, preventing significant water intrusion.

To reduce the risk of broken glass and water damage, windows and doors should be reinforced or covered with storm shutters. While flooding isn't as common in Sanibel as in other coastal areas, persistent heavy rain can still lead to significant water accumulation, especially in lower-lying areas.

Finally, ensure your drainage systems—such as gutters and downspouts—are clean and clear. Clogged gutters can cause water to back up and spill into your home, leading to costly damage.

By preparing in advance, businesses can reduce the risk of extensive damage during severe weather, keeping their properties safe and sound.
