Storm work in Brevard comes in two shapes. There is the named-storm version everyone prepares for, where the county takes a direct hit off the open Atlantic and half of Palm Bay and Merritt Island calls at once. And there is the nor’easter version — three days of onshore wind and rain in November with no name and no warning, which is the one that quietly finds every tired seal and lifted shingle on the beachside.
- Emergency tarping and board-up before the next band arrives, day or night
- Wind-driven rain assessment — cavity, deck and soffit, not just the ceiling stain
- Generators and desiccant drying for properties with no power yet
- Date-stamped documentation built for a storm claim
Brevard is a long thin county with the Atlantic on one side and the Indian River Lagoon down the middle, and the damage follows that geography. Out on the barrier island — Satellite Beach, Indialantic, Merritt Island, Cocoa Beach — the usual problem is wind-driven rain finding a way in around window and door assemblies, on buildings where salt air has been working on flashing and fasteners for thirty years. On the mainland, from Palm Bay up through Rockledge, Cocoa and Titusville, it is block houses on slabs where a failed supply line spreads flat across the floor with nowhere to drain. And unlike most of the state, the worst of it is not always a hurricane — a November nor’easter that pushes onshore for three days puts more water through a beachside roof than a fast summer storm ever does.
Crews dispatch 24/7 from our Melbourne base at 715 North Dr, Suite #B and cover all of Melbourne — one local team, no subcontracted call centers. See all services in Melbourne or read more about storm & flood damage cleanup.
If the roof is open, covering it is the whole priority. Call the Melbourne office at (321) 348-4639 and tell us what came off — a tarp tonight is a smaller claim than a ceiling next week.
