As a member of the Coalition of Disaster Responders, Renaissance Restoration has sent IICRC-certified crews and drying equipment to Pensacola, Destin and Panama City Beach to help homeowners and businesses recover from water, storm and mold damage.
PENSACOLA, Fla., Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Renaissance Restoration, an IICRC-certified water damage and restoration company and member of the Coalition of Disaster Responders (CDR), has deployed crews and equipment to the Florida Panhandle to help residents recover from Hurricane Isaias.
Hurricane Isaias made landfall near Destin around 8:30 p.m. CDT on Oct. 9, with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center. The storm brought a 102 mph wind gust at Pensacola City Hall, a 116 mph gust near Santa Rosa Sound, and storm surge measured at 5.6 feet above normal high tide in Panama City Beach. Flash flooding spread inland overnight.
"When a storm like Isaias hits, every hour matters," said Brandon Smith, co-owner of Renaissance Restoration. "Getting water out quickly is how you prevent further damage. Our crews are here to get homes and businesses dried out fast and to help families through the insurance process."
Renaissance Restoration crews are serving Pensacola, Gulf Breeze, Navarre, Milton, Destin, Fort Walton Beach, Santa Rosa Beach, Panama City and Panama City Beach. Services include emergency water extraction and structural drying, storm and flood damage cleanup, mold inspection and remediation, sewage cleanup, and documentation support for insurance claims.
As a CDR member, Renaissance Restoration works within a nationwide network of restoration contractors, first responders, suppliers and equipment owners organized for large-scale recovery. Members follow shared standards for operations, logistics and communication, so crews from multiple companies can respond across many sites at once.
"Being part of the Coalition means we can bring more people and equipment to the Panhandle, and hold ourselves to a shared standard while we do it," said Smith.
Renaissance Restoration recommends these steps for Panhandle property owners with storm damage: stay safe by avoiding floodwater, downed power lines and structurally unsafe buildings; photograph and video all damage before moving or discarding anything; contact your insurance company to start a claim as soon as possible; prevent further damage where it is safe, such as covering openings; and start water removal and drying quickly to limit damage and mold growth.
