Built among wetlands
New Tampa's communities were planned around protected wetlands, preserves and creeks, and many homes back up to conservation areas. After long rain events, those areas fill and hold water for days. Lots at the edge of wetlands can see water approach patios and pool cages. The Hillsborough River and Cypress Creek can also rise in extended wet periods. Check your flood designation even if your home seems well above the water.
Now 25 to 35 years old
Most New Tampa homes are old enough that original water heaters, supply valves and roofs are due or overdue for replacement. Some early homes still have polybutylene. Two-story homes are common, so an upstairs bathroom or laundry leak often shows up as a stain on the ceiling below. See ceiling leak repair.
Shaded, humid lots
Heavily wooded lots next to wetlands stay shaded and humid. Exterior walls on the shaded side, closets against them, and attics with poor ventilation are common spots for mildew and mold, especially after even a small leak. If you notice a musty smell that won't go away, see mold remediation.
