December 09, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
RestoPros of Southwest Florida has released a comprehensive holiday checklist designed to help homeowners and businesses prevent water damage during the busy holiday season. The initiative comes as property owners prepare for increased household activity, travel plans, and potential weather-related challenges that typically accompany the holiday months.
The professional restoration company, specializing in water damage restoration and emergency response services, developed the checklist based on three decades of industry experience responding to seasonal property damage incidents. The resource addresses common vulnerabilities that often lead to costly repairs during a time when families and businesses least expect disruptions.
“The holiday season brings unique risks to properties that many people overlook while focused on celebrations and travel,” said Rawlin Powell, spokesperson for RestoPros of Southwest Florida. “Simple preventive measures taken now can save property owners from dealing with extensive water damage when they should be enjoying time with family and friends. Our checklist provides practical steps that anyone can follow to protect their investment.”
The holiday checklist covers critical areas, including plumbing system preparation, appliance maintenance, roof and gutter inspection, and specific precautions for vacant properties during travel. The company notes that water damage incidents typically increase during the holiday season due to factors such as frozen pipes in unexpected cold snaps, overworked appliances, and properties left unattended during travel.
RestoPros of Southwest Florida reports that insurance claims for water damage often spike between November and January, with many incidents being preventable through proper preparation. The checklist addresses both interior and exterior risk factors, providing actionable steps for property owners to implement before potential problems arise.
The initiative reflects the company’s commitment to helping the Southwest Florida community avoid property damage rather than simply responding after disasters occur. By sharing their expertise gained from handling thousands of restoration projects, the company aims to reduce the number of emergency calls during what should be a joyful season.
“Prevention has always been more cost-effective than restoration,” added Powell. “While we stand ready to respond to emergencies around the clock, we would rather see families avoid the stress and expense of water damage altogether. This checklist represents our investment in community education and property protection.”
The company continues to maintain its 24/7 emergency response capabilities throughout the holiday season, with teams prepared to address water damage, fire and smoke damage, mold remediation, and storm damage restoration needs.
RestoPros of Southwest Florida serves residential and commercial clients across Southwest Florida, including Anna Maria, Bradenton, Bradenton Beach, Englewood, Longboat Key, Nokomis, North Port, Osprey, Port Charlotte, Sarasota, and Venice. The company maintains certification through the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) and brings 30 years of combined industry experience to every restoration project. Beyond emergency response services, the company regularly provides educational resources to help property owners understand and prevent common causes of property damage.
