Emergency Water Damage Restoration in Ybor City, Tampa

Flat roofs and old brick

Ybor's brick buildings mostly have flat or low-slope roofs behind parapet walls. Those roofs hold water during Tampa's heavy afternoon storms, and leaks start at clogged drains, scuppers, parapet flashing and aging membrane seams. Old brick also absorbs water and lets it through mortar joints. A leak in these buildings can travel along a wall and show up floors below. See ceiling and roof leak repair.

Casitas and small wood homes

The small wooden casitas built for cigar workers sit on raised piers, many now restored as homes or offices. Their original plumbing has been replaced over time, sometimes in pieces, and leaks under the floor collect in the crawlspace. Wood siding and trim soak up water quickly. Drying them carefully, rather than replacing original materials, keeps the historic character and avoids unnecessary review.

Restaurants, bars and venues

Ybor's restaurants, bars and music venues run late, which means a leak found at 2 a.m. has to be handled before the next day's opening. Kitchen water, ice machines and floor drains add gray and sometimes contaminated water. We work after hours and phase repairs to keep businesses open. See commercial water damage restoration.
