Orlando Storm Watch

Alerts and forecasts here cover a 28-mile radius from ZIP 32835: Orlando, MetroWest, Windermere, Dr. Phillips, Winter Garden, Ocoee and the surrounding Orange, Seminole, Osceola and Lake County communities. That includes the Econlockhatchee River corridor east of UCF and the Windermere area around Bessie Street and Butler Street, two of the town's most flood-prone roads and the focus of a $1.4 million stormwater project.

Stop the source if you safely can, then call us at 888-603-MOLD. In Orlando's humid climate, standing water becomes mold inside the walls within 24–48 hours. The water table across much of Orange County sits just 2–4 feet below the surface in wet season, so the hydrostatic pressure against your foundation doesn't drop when the rain stops. We extract the water, dry the structure and seal the foundation entry point so the next storm stays out.

Central Florida sits on sandy soil over porous karst limestone. During heavy rain, water seeps rapidly through that sand and saturates the limestone below, raising the water table. There's no deep clay layer here to slow lateral drainage away from your foundation, so hydrostatic pressure builds against the walls quickly. Bullfrog uses waterproofing systems designed for this specific soil profile, not tar-based products that trap moisture in and break down over time.

Hurricane Ian in September 2022 was the most damaging in recent memory for Central Florida. The Econlockhatchee River overflowed into neighborhoods across Oviedo, Geneva and Chuluota, and flooding near Wagon Road east of UCF required National Guard airboat rescues. Orange County recorded 909 flood insurance claims that year totaling nearly $60 million. Two years later, Hurricane Milton brought another federal disaster declaration to Orange County.
