Hurricane Damage Restoration
in Venice, Florida

The First 72 Hours Define Your Venice Recovery

Venice took direct hits from Helene and Milton in 2024 – Venice Island and South Venice flooded, and the manufactured-home parks across the city sustained heavy wind damage. The 55+ community population means recovery coordination often involves out-of-state family. After a named storm, what you do in the first 72 hours determines how much of your property is repairable, how much your insurance carrier pays, and how long until you can move back in. Standing water becomes Category 3 contamination within 24 hours. Wind-driven rain saturates wall cavities behind intact exteriors. Tarped roofs that are not properly secured fail in the next squall.

WrightWay has been the SW Florida response contractor for every major storm since 2004. Our Venice-area crews stage equipment and personnel before landfall and dispatch the moment authorities clear roads.
