 What To Do When A Hurricane Or Tropical Storm Warning Is Issued For Sun City Center & Wimauma, FL:

When a National Weather Service hurricane or tropical storm warning hits Hillsborough County, Headed South is already in motion — reaching out to clients, confirming approvals, and heading to your property before the storm arrives. Here's exactly what we do to protect your vacant home during hurricane and tropical storm season.

Our Pre-Storm Arrival Check-In:

 Everything below is performed ONLY with your prior approval:

• Switch off the pool and spa circuit breakers at the main panel
• Treat pool water with chlorine as needed to maintain water quality
• Set refrigerator and freezer temperatures to their coldest settings to protect food during potential power outages
• Manually secure all garage doors
• Stow all moveable outdoor items — patio furniture, grills, potted plants, and lawn ornaments
• Coordinate garage access for your hurricane panel installation vendor

Our Post-Storm Check-In:

 As soon as roads are safely passable after the hurricane or tropical storm, we return to your property and:

• Conduct a thorough exterior and interior walkthrough, documenting all visible storm damage
• Upload photos immediately to your secure client portal
• Take emergency mitigation measures if needed, with your approval
• Restore garage access to hurricane panel vendors for storage
• Turn on the main circuit breakers to the pool and spa once power is restored
