Protecting Your Home

Flooding and water damage aren't new to Tarpon Springs. Damage can be caused by storms as well as tidal flooding. The City of Tarpon Springs is constantly working to improve floodplain management. While measures are put in place to prevent extensive flood damage, floods will still happen from time to time.

Of course flooding isn't the only water related threat to your home. You have to consider things like leaking pipes, appliance failure, worn hoses and plumbing issues.

Blocked drain lines have the potential to cause significant property damage due to the fact that drain lines can handle large amounts of water as compared to other plumbing in the home. In the event that the pipes become obsolete or overwhelmed, they often burst and release plenty of water to the homes.

If flood water is not handled quickly and properly, it can jeopardize your safety, and cause severe damage to your home’s structure. Remember, the longer you wait, the worse the problem will get.

There's is also a concern about mold.

Mold growth can occur in any home, so it’s important to keep an eye out for situations that might promote mold activity.

Water - Different mold types require varying amounts of liquid before growth begins.

Temperature - Normal indoor temperatures will promote mold growth.

Time - Initial mold colonizers can take hold within one day after being exposed to an adequate water supply.
