FAQs
Water Damage Restoration in Tampa - FAQs
01After a hurricane, when can a contractor reach my Tampa home?+
Matching is prioritized by severity once roads are passable and re-entry is allowed. Timing depends on evacuation orders and curfews issued by Hillsborough or Pinellas counties.
02Is storm surge flooding covered by my homeowners policy?+
Storm surge and ground-water flooding are generally excluded and require a separate NFIP or private flood policy. Your carrier and policy determine final coverage.
