From the historic bungalows of Hyde Park and Seminole Heights to the waterfront homes on Davis Islands and Bayshore, we help Tampa homeowners and businesses recover from water, fire, mold, and storm damage. Available 24/7.
Tampa sits on Tampa Bay, one of the most storm-surge-vulnerable areas in the country, threaded by the Hillsborough River and surrounded by low-lying coastal neighborhoods. The 2024 hurricane season made the risk unmistakable, with Debby, Helene, and Milton making it the wettest year on record for the Tampa Bay area. From flood-prone South Tampa to the historic districts and the newer suburbs, we help Tampa properties recover.
Tampa's bayfront setting and low elevation create specific ways for water and storm damage to happen:
Tampa Bay is one of the most surge-prone metros in the nation. In 2024, Hurricane Helene pushed six to eight feet of surge into coastal neighborhoods even while passing offshore, flooding areas like Davis Islands and Shore Acres and damaging tens of thousands of homes.
Debby, Helene, and Milton together made 2024 the wettest year on record for Tampa Bay, with about 80 inches at Tampa International. Milton alone dropped roughly 16 inches, overwhelming ponds, ditches, and stormwater pumps.
The Hillsborough, Alafia, and Little Manatee rivers flooded badly in 2024, with the Alafia reaching neighborhoods by boat. River flooding can peak days after the rain stops.
Inland neighborhoods like Forest Hills flooded in 2024 even though they are not in a flood zone or near the coast, when retention ponds overflowed and pumps could not keep up.
Hyde Park, Seminole Heights, and other historic districts have early-1900s bungalows with aging plumbing and roofs prone to leaks and hidden moisture.
With the heat and humidity, mold can begin to grow within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure, so fast drying is essential.
