Michael's surge was estimated at 4 to 6 feet above ground around Panama City and St. Andrew Bay. Storm surge, wind-torn roofs and heavy rain can leave a building with water on the floor, in the ceiling and inside the walls all at once.
After a hurricane or flood, the first steps are tarping or board-up to stop more rain, then water extraction and removal of soaked materials. Bay and floodwater are treated as contaminated, so surfaces are cleaned and disinfected before drying starts. We monitor moisture daily and run dehumidification until walls and floors are at verified targets, which helps keep mold from taking hold.
How We Handle Losses in Panama City
Panama City properties range from homes in St. Andrews, Millville and Cove to businesses downtown and along Harrison Avenue. Bay surge, hurricane winds, flash flooding and humidity are the hazards to prepare for, and roof openings or plumbing and air conditioning leaks can soak insulation and drywall before anyone notices.
Mold usually follows water in Panama City homes. A slow leak inside a wall, an air conditioning drain line that backs up, or a room that stays damp through a humid season can grow mold within days. We contain the area, remove affected materials, HEPA clean, and correct the moisture source. After a fire, we board up, remove the water used to put the fire out, clean soot, and treat smoke odor in ductwork and wall cavities so it does not return. Storm calls in Panama City usually mean roof tarping, board-up, and drying ceilings and walls after wind-driven rain. Every job is documented with photos and daily moisture readings, which your adjuster can review and which show when the structure is actually dry.
