Hurricane Michael made landfall as a Category 5 hurricane on October 10, 2018, near Mexico Beach and Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida. NOAA's post-storm release says the storm was upgraded to Category 5 at landfall, with storm surge of 9 to 14 feet above normal along parts of the Panhandle and the highest surge at Mexico Beach.

When surge water leaves a home, the first hours decide how much is saved. Keep out until the power is confirmed off, do not touch wiring that was in the water, photograph the damage before anything moves, avoid contaminated water and call a restoration crew. The crew arrives as soon as it is free, and no arrival time is promised.

When a Florida storm claim stalls, the first step is to ask the insurer in writing what is holding it up. If that does not resolve the problem, the Florida Department of Financial Services, Division of Consumer Services, takes consumer complaints about insurance. Keep the photographs, readings and scope with the complaint.

In Florida, mold assessors and mold remediators are licensed through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) under Chapter 468, Part XVI of the Florida Statutes and Rule 61-31 of the Florida Administrative Code. Mold licensing is not water-damage licensing, so a drying crew does not become a mold remediator by working on a flooded building.

A storm damage claim is built from a record: dated photographs of the water line and the damage, moisture readings, a list of removed and kept contents, the restoration scope and receipts for emergency work. The insurer decides what it pays under the policy, but a complete file lets it see what happened and when.

Before a storm restoration contractor starts work in Florida, check the written scope, the readings promised, the trades called in and the credentials the job requires. Verify each license with the agency that issues it. This page does not claim any license for this site, and it does not name a Florida water-damage license, because none is sourced here.

This site's service list names Panama City's downtown postal areas and 17 towns on the Panhandle, from Panama City Beach to Chipley and Alford, each placed by straight-line distance from Panama City's anchor point, up to about 60 km. Being on the list means calls from that town are taken; it is not a promise of a crew at a given time.
