What to do during a storm leak
Take these steps before the crew arrives. When in doubt, stay safe and call.
- 1Move people and pets away from any ceiling that is sagging or dripping, and stay clear of outlets and switches near the water.
- 2If you can reach the breaker safely, cut power to the flooded rooms. Never wade through standing water to reach a panel.
- 3Put buckets under active drips, move what you can off the wet floor, and photograph everything for your insurance claim.

How storm & hurricane water damage is handled in Altamonte Springs
Call and dispatch
Whoever answers the Altamonte Springs line takes the call 24/7, and the nearest Seminole County crew rolls with pumps, air movers, and moisture meters.
On-site assessment
The tech who does the walkthrough maps the source and the full reach of the water, including what soaked into slab, subfloor, and wall cavities.
Extract and dry
The extraction crew pulls the standing water first, then air movers and dehumidifiers dry to a verified standard, not just the surface.
Verify and document
The drying team logs moisture readings until the structure is dry, then documents the loss with photos and readings for the claim file.
Storm and hurricane water damage is Central Florida's signature loss. A tropical system does not need to flood the street to soak your home. Wind-driven rain is forced up under low-slope roofs, around skylights, and through worn window and door frames, and a day of heavy rain finds every weak point. By the time the sky clears, water has already run into the attic, down the drywall, and across the floor. The restoration crews respond around the clock through the whole season, tarp the breach, pull the water, and dry the structure before it turns into a bigger problem.
Why storms flood Altamonte Springs homes
Seminole County sits inland, so most storm losses here are wind-driven rain and days of runoff, not coastal surge. The usual paths water takes:
- Low-slope and aging roofs that let rain under the shingles and flashing into the attic
- Skylights, vents, and worn window frames that leak once the wind drives rain sideways
- A high water table and heavy rain that back up through yard drains and against the slab
- Nearby lakes and retention ponds that rise fast and push water toward low-lying lots
Because the water usually comes from above, a storm leak often shows up first as a ceiling leak or a stain spreading along a wall. Caught early, most of it dries and saves.
The storm and hurricane response
Every hour of trapped water is more damage, so Seminole Water Restoration works fast and in order:
- Tarp the roof or seal the entry point to stop more water coming in
- Extract standing water from floors, and from the ceiling below if it spread down
- Open and dry the attic, wall cavities, and framing the water reached
- Run air movers and dehumidifiers to a verified dry reading in the humidity
- Document the loss with photos and readings and bill your carrier directly
Fast water extraction followed by monitored structural drying is what keeps a storm leak from becoming a full rebuild and a mold problem.

The best time to deal with a storm leak is before the storm. A quick pre-season check keeps a small breach from becoming a soaked home.
- Have an older or low-slope roof inspected and the flashing resealed before June
- Clear gutters and yard drains so heavy rain runs off instead of backing up
- Know where your main water shut-off is in case a supply line fails in the chaos
The Ready.gov hurricane guide has a simple home checklist, and FEMA flood maps show whether your street sits in a flood zone.
Take photos before the storm season starts
A few phone photos of each room now make a storm claim far easier later. If water does get in, you can show an adjuster exactly what changed, and the documentation picks up from there.

Storm & Hurricane Water Damage questions, answered
Water in your home right now?
Do not wait for the FAQ. A Seminole County crew is standing by 24/7.
(407) 307-2934 Call nowTap to reach 24/7 dispatchShould I call before the storm passes or wait?
Call as soon as it is safe to move around inside. Storm water spreads through drywall and insulation by the hour, so the sooner the crew tarps and starts extracting, the less damage and the lower the cost. Whoever answers the Altamonte Springs line takes the call 24/7 straight through a storm.
Is storm and hurricane water damage covered by insurance?
Wind-driven rain and roof damage from a storm are usually covered under a Florida homeowners policy, though flood water that rises from the ground often needs separate flood coverage. The restoration team documents the cause and the drying, the paperwork an adjuster looks for. Coverage depends on your policy, so it is worth checking with your own insurer.
Can you tarp my roof if I do not have a roofer yet?
Yes. The crew places an emergency tarp to stop more water coming in, then extracts and dries the inside. Your roofer makes the permanent repair once the structure is dry, and the crew coordinates the timing so it moves together.
How fast can you reach me after a storm?
The response team dispatches across Altamonte Springs and Seminole County, day or night, storms permitting. During a major event the crews work through a queue by severity, so call early and say how much water is coming in.
Will the water cause mold if it is not dried fast?
It can. Central Florida humidity lets mold start within a day or two on wet drywall and framing, which is why the crew dries to a verified reading rather than letting it sit. Fast extraction and monitored drying are the best prevention.
Do you handle the whole job or just the water?
The crew handles the water damage, the extraction and the drying, and documents the loss for your claim. The crew coordinates with your roofer and, where needed, a rebuild crew, so the mitigation and repairs move on one timeline.
