water damage restoration in Hyde Park and BayshoreHyde Park and Bayshore sit on Hillsborough Bay in the south-west of Tampa, where many homes date from about 1900 to 1940 and the district is described as a historic preservation area. Water losses here are mostly storm rain, bay-side wetting and old plaster, and any exterior change may need architectural review. Calls are answered 24/7 on (833) 490-5225.
Hyde Park is one of the oldest settled districts on the Tampa side of the bay, and its houses reflect that. Most were built between about 1900 and 1940, and the district is described as a historic preservation area with mostly Victorian-era homes. For a water loss, that means old plaster on wood lath, older framing and original floors that take water differently from a newer house. The first step on a call here is to find out whether the water has reached the plaster or only the floor.
Bayshore Boulevard runs along Hillsborough Bay at the edge of the neighborhood, and the low ground near the water takes the wind and rain of a storm first. A storm that drives rain toward the bay side can enter through older windows and roof edges, and the water often runs inside the wall before it shows on a ceiling. The readings for these homes are taken through the plaster as well as on its face.
Because exterior work in a preservation district may need review, the crew does not plan a repair of the outside of a Hyde Park house. It records the entry, dries the inside and reports what it sees on the outside, so the owner can take that record to whoever reviews the work.
The houses on the Hyde Park side of the district tend to be close together, and a loss in one can reach the next through a shared wall or a common roof line. The crew reads the neighboring wall where the two houses meet, because water can travel along the top of a party wall before it shows in the house beside it.
