Pinellas County
Water damage & mold help in St. Petersburg, FL
St. Petersburg sits on the Pinellas peninsula between Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, and much of the city is low-lying. In 2024, Hurricane Helene's surge flooded neighborhoods like Shore Acres, and Hurricane Milton followed two weeks later with tornadoes and heavy rain. Summer thunderstorms, king tides and humidity add to the risk all year.

St. Petersburg homes and water damage
Old Northeast and Kenwood have 1920s bungalows and Mediterranean Revival homes, many with original plumbing. Waterfront areas like Snell Isle and Shore Acres have many slab homes built close to sea level.
Storm surge
Helene's 2024 surge flooded homes across low-lying neighborhoods near Tampa Bay.
Hurricane wind and rain
Milton's winds and tornadoes damaged roofs, letting heavy rain into attics and ceilings.
Tidal and street flooding
King tides and summer downpours flood low streets and back up storm drains.
Humidity and mold
Wet materials can grow mold within a couple of days in Florida heat.
Older plumbing
1920s homes have cast-iron drains and galvanized supply lines prone to leaks.
Ground-floor and garage flooding
Many St. Petersburg homes have living space or storage at ground level, so even a few inches of surge or street flooding soaks drywall, flooring and stored belongings.
Condo and multi-unit buildings
Downtown towers and older garden condos share plumbing stacks, so a leak in one unit can travel through several floors before it's found.

St. Petersburg questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in St. Petersburg?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of St. Petersburg Building and Permitting department.
Do I need flood insurance in St. Petersburg?
Homeowners policies exclude flood. Much of the city is in a FEMA flood zone, and Helene flooded many homes outside high-risk zones too.
