Ocala gets hit two ways. There is hurricane season, which everybody plans for, and there is the ordinary summer afternoon, which nobody does — this part of the state sees more lightning and more convective storm activity than anywhere else in the country, and a single cell can put a tree through a roof or drop three inches of rain on a yard that has nowhere to send it. Our crews tarp and board up first so the building stops taking on water, then deal with what already got in.
Marion County is limestone country, and that shapes nearly every water loss we see here. Houses sit on slabs poured onto sand and clay over a shallow aquifer, so when a supply line lets go there is no basement to catch it — the water runs sideways under tile and laminate and shows up two rooms away. Add the farm parcels out toward Anthony, Citra and Fort McCoy, where a tack room or a barn office runs off its own well and nobody is inside for days at a stretch, plus the seasonal houses around Lady Lake, Summerfield and Belleview that sit closed up for half the year, and the typical job here is not a dramatic flood. It is a small leak that had a very long time to work.
Crews dispatch 24/7 from our Ocala base at 3288 SW 74th Ave, Suite #101 and cover all of Ocala — one local team, no subcontracted call centers. See all services in Ocala or read more about storm & flood damage cleanup.
