Executive Summary from Community Flood Survey*:

To inform the Tampa Bay Coastal Master Plan (TBCMP), a flood survey was publicly disseminated across the region. Review of approximately 391 public survey responses from May 2025 to July 2026 indicates that extreme rainfall is a dominant flooding concern across the Tampa Bay region, surpassing even coastal storm surge concerns in frequency of reporting. While flooding manifests differently by county, respondents consistently
described the same overarching drivers:

• Perception of increasing rainfall intensity
• Loss of wetlands and flood storage areas
• Continued development in low -lying areas
• Insufficient stormwater conveyance capacity
• Deferred maintenance of canals, ditches, culverts, and retention systems
• Increasing interaction between tidal flooding and inland drainage systems

*Report will be updated every six months as more responses are received.

Heavy rain doesn't have to be a hurricane to cause expensive damage.

After today's storms, take 5 minutes to check around your home:

✅ Walk around the exterior and look for standing water near your foundation.
✅ Check ceilings for new water stains or bubbling paint.
✅ Make sure your gutters and downspouts are flowing properly.
✅ If you have a flat roof or low spots, look for ponding water once it's safe.
✅ If your A/C feels unusually humid, it could be an early sign of hidden moisture.

The sooner water is found, the less likely it is to turn into mold, damaged flooring, or costly repairs.

At ET Home Pros, we help homeowners from damaged to done—whether it's emergency water damage, insurance assistance, or putting everything back together.

Have you noticed any leaks or flooding after today's rain? Let us know in the comments. 👇

Homeowner question 👇

What's the one thing in your house that's been on your "I'll deal with it later" list for way too long?

Not the dream renovation.

The actual thing:

• the loose tile
• the water stain you're keeping an eye on
• the bathroom you've been meaning to update
• the cabinet door that never closes right
• the project that feels bigger than it probably is

We all have one. 😅

Curious what everyone is tackling (or avoiding) lately.

One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make is waiting too long.

Most repairs don't get cheaper with time.

Whether it's a small leak, damaged drywall, aging flooring, or a bathroom that's ready for an update, catching it early usually means more options and less expense.

What's one thing around your house you've been meaning to tackle?

Florida has entered her tropical era again 🌴🌧️

Looks like we’re heading into about 10 days of rain: which actually isn’t unusual this time of year. Once the Gulf heats up, Florida starts acting more like the tropics with daily moisture, storms, and surprise downpours.

This is usually when hidden leaks and moisture issues start showing themselves, so keep an eye on your roof, windows, and ceilings these next couple weeks.

Et Home Pros is here to help - from damaged to done!

Rainy season in Florida is back 🌧️

So we’re officially in the annual game of:

“Where is that drip coming from?”

A lot of the calls we get this time of year start small - a stain, a soft spot, or a weird ceiling line - and turn into bigger issues if they’re not caught early.

If you’re noticing anything off in your home, especially with all this rain, it’s worth checking sooner rather than later. We handle both contracting and restoration, so we can help track it down and fix it properly.

Feel free to message or tag me if you’re unsure what you’re looking at 👍
