2024 Hurricane Season Preparedness & Essential Cleaning Tips for the Harsh Florida Summer Climate

As the owner of DPI Pressure Washing Clearwater, I understand the particular challenges our harsh Florida climate presents to maintaining your residential or commercial properties. With the approach of hurricane season, which begins on June 1st and extends until November 30th, it's essential to prepare and protect your investment from the potential impacts.

Regular Window Cleaning: Living near the Gulf Coast means battling with sea salt, sand, and humidity, which can all impair the clarity and condition of your windows. Routine cleanings prevent long-term damage and keep your windows in pristine condition.

Protect Your Exterior with Pressure Washing: Our Florida sun, along with the area's humidity and rainfall, can lead to mold, mildew, and algae growth on exteriors. Regular pressure washing not only maintains the beauty of your property but also prevents these elements from causing costly damage.

Gutter and Downspout Maintenance: As we've seen in recent hurricanes, like Hurricane Irma in 2017 and Hurricane Michael in 2018, the Tampa Bay area can experience significant rainfall that can overwhelm property drainage systems. Cleaning your gutters and downspouts is pivotal to handling these water loads and protecting your property from water damage.

Securing Outdoor Items: Hurricane winds can transform even small objects into hazardous debris. Secure or store items such as patio furniture, plant pots, and decoration pieces to prevent them from being thrown around during storms.

Essential Emergency Contacts: As we approach hurricane season, it’s crucial to have quick access to emergency contacts. Below are important numbers and resources for Clearwater and the Greater Tampa Bay area:
