Flood Protection Before Hurricane Season

Hurricane season compresses decision time — opening photos, Visual Fit Check readouts, and measurement visits need lead time before the first storm threats, not after landfall pressure hits.

Professional measurement confirms fit and quote. Visual Fit Check is optional decision support — not a fit guarantee.

Decision logic

Should you schedule measurement review?

Homeowner preparing SWFL openings before hurricane season

Strong fit signals

  • Multiple openings need protection before landfall windows
  • Limited time to deploy sandbags each season
  • Want panels staged before first storm threats

Review other paths first

  • Waiting until active storm warnings to start planning
  • No photos or opening access for review

Recommended next step: Photograph openings and run Visual Fit Check before June; schedule measurement early

Pre-season timeline

Ideally scope openings weeks before June 1 — fabrication, staging, and deployment practice need runway.

  • Photograph garage, door, slider, and lanai lines early
  • Run Visual Fit Check for preliminary fit direction
  • Schedule measurement review before forecast windows tighten

Opening priorities in SWFL

Garage and low slider lines often see the first nuisance water — rank openings by repeat exposure, not guesswork.

What Rubicon does not promise

No barrier system guarantees a dry home — Rubicon confirms fit at the measured opening line and scopes deployment you can execute under time pressure.

FAQ

When should I schedule assessment before hurricane season?

Ideally weeks before June 1 — measurement, fabrication lead time, and deployment training need lead time before first storm threats.

Rubicon measures the opening line on site before quoting panels. Visual Fit Check is optional screening only.
