New Tampa is the planned north-east section of the city, developed largely from the 1980s and 1990s and taking in Tampa Palms and Hunter's Green. Its pond-lined and wooded subdivisions sit beside conservation land. Water calls are storm rain on pond-edge lots, roof leaks and supply-line failures in newer walls. Calls are answered 24/7 on (833) 490-5225.
New Tampa was planned as a section of the city, and its subdivisions were developed largely from the 1980s and 1990s. Tampa Palms and Hunter's Green are among its best-known parts, and the land between them is pond-lined and wooded, with conservation land running alongside. The planned layout means the drainage and the roads were built to a single design.
The water losses that follow are the newer home's losses: a fitting that fails inside a wall, a roof edge that lets rain in at a joint, and a door or sliding seal that gives way in a driving storm. Woodland and ponds add a second source, since rain on the trees can release in bursts after a storm passes.
The first visit asks for the subdivision and the lot. The crew reads the pond and the drainage around the lot, and it plans the readings from the position of the home relative to the pond or the trees.
New Tampa's planned subdivisions have their own roads, drains and ponds, and each one was laid out to a common design. A call here is often about how that design handled an unusual storm, and the crew reads the lot against the drains and the pond before it decides the path.
Local weather drives activity here: heat, humidity and rain change what shows up week to week.
Trees hold rain on their leaves and branches during a storm, then release it in gusts after the rain passes. A roof under a stand of trees can take a sudden load of water from the canopy, and the gutters and the roof edge can overflow in those bursts.
The crew checks the gutters and the roof edge under the trees and records any overflow, so the owner can clear the gutters and the path of the water.
A lot beside a pond can take water from the pond edge and from the yard in a heavy storm. The water runs toward the house at its lowest point, and it reaches the door, the garage or a side opening.
The readings are taken at the entry and along the wall below it, and the record shows the pond's position against the house.
A planned subdivision's drainage is sized for an expected rain, and a storm larger than that can overwhelm the drains and leave water on the roads and in the lots. The water runs toward the lowest lots and the garage doors on those lots. The crew records the lot's level against the road and the pond, and the path is set from that.
A repeat problem on the same road is worth recording. The homeowner can raise it with the association or the owner of the drainage, and the crew's record can support that request.
A home with a wooded lot can take water from the trees as well as the roof, because the rain held on the canopy is released in gusts after the storm. The crew checks the roof edge and the ground under the trees, and it records the gutters and the points where water falls on the house.

Storm water from a pond-lined lot is pumped out before the floor is read.
A fitting that fails inside a newer wall shows as a stain or a soft floor at its base.
Storm rain driven past a sliding seal runs down the inside of the wall.

Trees hold rain and release it later, and the roof edge or gutter can overflow in those bursts. The crew traces the path from the ceiling back to the edge.
It can, when the pond rises in a heavy storm and the lot is low. The crew records the pond's level against the house.
The city, since New Tampa is part of Tampa. The crew will name the office for the work needed.
The drains belong to the subdivision or its owners. The crew records the conditions, and the homeowner can raise the matter with them.
A planned subdivision has drainage, but any home can take water in a storm larger than the drains were sized for. The record shows what happened on the day.
