Water Damage Restoration in Safety Harbor, FL

What does the shore side of the city take?

Homes on the shore side take storm rain and bay-side wind directly, and the water enters at the doors, the windows and the roof edges on that side. The crew reads the shore side first and records the entry before the rest of the house is read.

A storm that repeats over several days can keep the shore side wet, and the readings are kept going until the house is back to normal.

Which office handles permits in Safety Harbor?

Safety Harbor is in Pinellas County, so the county and the city are the offices to contact for permits and notices, not the offices in Hillsborough. The crew will name the right office on the job, and the owner should confirm it before starting any repair work.

The water work does not depend on the county. Only the paperwork that follows a loss differs.

Why does the shore side take the first water?

Homes on the shore side face the bay directly, so storm rain and wind reach their doors, windows and roof edges first. Water that enters on that side runs across the floor toward the lower rooms and the interior walls, and it may reach the rooms on the far side of the house after a time.

The crew reads the shore side first and records each entry before moving through the house. The record shows the storm, the wind direction if it is known and the openings that let the water in.

Homes on the shore side of Safety Harbor can take water from the bay side in a storm, and the water reaches the lowest door and the windows facing the bay. The crew reads the walls on the shore side from the base up, and it records the openings that were exposed to the wind.
