Questions from Tampa homeowners
My home flooded with saltwater. Is cleanup different?
Yes. Surge is contaminated and salty, so soaked drywall, insulation and flooring are removed, and electrical components that got wet usually need replacing.
How do I know if my cast iron drains are failing?
Slow drains, repeated backups and sewer smells are signs. A plumber's camera inspection confirms it.
