When conducting a reserve study for properties in Florida careful consideration of hurricane risks, high humidity, salt air exposure, and flooding is essential. Structures must be prepared for powerful winds and heavy rains, which can damage roofs, HVAC systems, and exterior finishes. Salt air accelerates corrosion, while persistent moisture encourages mold and deterioration. These factors create unique maintenance and replacement demands, requiring specialized local insight for accurate reserve projections.
Hurricane Preparedness – Structures need to withstand high winds and heavy rain typical of hurricane season.
Roof Reinforcement – Roofs require impact-resistant materials and secure fastening to prevent storm damage.
HVAC Moisture Control – Efficient systems must combat high humidity and frequent heat to prevent mold and system strain.
Salt Air Corrosion – Coastal salt exposure accelerates metal corrosion, requiring specialized coatings and inspections.
Flood Mitigation – Proper grading and drainage systems are essential to prevent flooding during heavy storms.
Code Compliance – Adhering to stringent hurricane and flood zone building codes is necessary to ensure safety and insurance coverage.
Our engineers are well-versed in the unique challenges and requirements of reserve studies in Florida, including hurricane resistance, salt air corrosion, and high humidity that affects roofs, façades, and mechanical systems.
