Homes in Tampa
Tampa's housing covers just about every era: early-1900s bungalows in Seminole Heights, historic homes in Hyde Park and Palma Ceia, low-lying waterfront property in South Tampa and on Davis Islands, and 1990s and 2000s subdivisions in New Tampa. Historic homes often have a patchwork of updates, and South Tampa's flood exposure makes signs of past water intrusion especially important.
Areas served include Hyde Park, Seminole Heights, Palma Ceia, South Tampa, Davis Islands, Ybor City and New Tampa, along with the rest of Tampa.
What gets extra attention in Tampa
Salt air, flood history and storm repairs
Near the water in Tampa, salt air speeds up corrosion of AC condensers, electrical components, fasteners and exterior metal. Anthony looks for evidence of past water intrusion and the quality of any storm-related repairs. If you need flood insurance, ask your agent whether an elevation certificate is required; that is a separate document prepared by a surveyor.
Older systems and insurance
Many Tampa homes are old enough that insurers ask for a 4-point inspection. Roof age, electrical panel type, wiring, plumbing materials and water heater installation all get documented, and it is worth knowing about any of them before your inspection period ends.
Wind mitigation credits
Every Tampa homeowner pays for windstorm coverage. A wind mitigation inspection documents features such as roof shape, roof-to-wall connections and opening protection on the OIR-B1-1802 form so your insurer can apply any credits you qualify for.
