What to report after water enters a property
Share what you observed and what remains uncertain. A clear report helps the owner, manager or provider coordinate the next step without guessing at the cause.
- Safety: keep people away from water near electricity, unstable ceilings or suspected sewage. Leave unsafe areas and call 911 for immediate danger.
- Source and timing: say whether water is still entering, where it appeared and when it was discovered. If the start time is not known, say so.
- Rooms and materials: list visible affected rooms, flooring, cabinets, walls and belongings. Take photos from a safe location.
- Contacts and work: record who was notified, who can authorize access, what work was approved and which records or receipts you received.

Flood designations are property-specific. Use the County’s Map Viewer to look up flood-zone information by property. Use its separate evacuation-zone lookup for hurricane evacuation planning. Flood zones and evacuation zones answer different questions; neither tells you how much damage a particular incident caused.
During an active storm, follow current official alerts and evacuation instructions. Do not walk or drive through floodwater. See Hillsborough County flood alerts and safety information, the the Tampa flooding guide and post-storm property guide.
Choose the guide that fits the observed problem
For a leak inside the property, start with first response, then use the guides to standing-water removal and drying and moisture follow-up. Source-specific guidance is available for water-heater leaks, appliance leaks and roof leaks. Residents in condos or rentals can use the shared-building notification guide.
