Storm & Flood Risk Check for Riverview

The Tampa-area pattern is its own thing. Summer thunderstorms and tropical systems drive rain under flat and shingle roofs, a high water table and low lots flood garages and ground floors, AC condensate lines clog and overflow ceilings in the heat, and slab-on-grade homes hide supply leaks under the concrete. Storm surge and sewage backups after heavy rain round it out.

Have your roof inspected and reseal the flashing, clear roof and yard drains, flush the AC condensate line and add a float safety switch, check grading and thresholds at low doors and the garage, and know your flood zone. Know where your main water shut-off is so you can stop a supply or slab leak fast.

Warm spots on the floor, a water bill that jumps for no reason, the sound of running water when everything is off, or cracked and lifting tile can all point to a leak in the supply line under your slab. Call at the first sign, because a slab leak wicks up into cabinets and framing the longer it runs.

If it is safe, shut the water off at the main, stay off the wet floor, keep clear of outlets and the panel, and call us. If the water is a sewer or drain backup, do not touch it, it is Category 3 black water. We talk you through the rest while a crew is on the way.
