What causes water damage around Tampa

In Florida, property owners deal with hot, humid weather, heavy rain and exposure to named storms. The causes we hear about most are hurricanes, tropical storms and storm surge, street and yard flooding that enters homes at floor level and very high humidity that speeds up mold. The Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, and flooding can also follow ordinary afternoon storms in any month.

After severe weather, storm and hurricane flood damage cleanup covers what flood water does to a building and how cleanup is sequenced. Humid air slows drying, which makes structural drying and dehumidification an important part of any job.
