Florida homeowners face elevated risks due to the state's long hurricane season running from June through November, with storms that can reach Category 5 intensity. Building codes mandate wind zones designed for sustained pressures between 130 and 175 mph, reflecting our high-exposure environment.

South Florida’s unique challenges include storm surge, groundwater flooding, and king tide effects, compounded by SFWMD flood zone designations that impact restoration planning and insurance claims. Understanding these complexities is vital to effective storm damage restoration here in Florida.
