Storm Damage Response for Temple Terrace Property Owners

Restoration Depot dispatches to Temple Terrace from our shop at 7400 E Broadway Ave in Tampa, and we have been doing it since 1983. When you call about storm damage in Temple Terrace, you reach a person, not an answering service — any hour, any day.

Every hurricane season, out-of-state contractors arrive in Tampa Bay, collect deposits, and are gone before the work is finished. Homeowners are left chasing a phone number with an area code from three states away.

Restoration Depot has operated out of Tampa since 1983. We were here for the storms before this one and we will be here for the next. When a named storm is tracking toward the Bay, we are staging equipment — not driving in behind it.

What Makes Temple Terrace Different

Temple Terrace is largely built out with homes from the 1950s through the 1970s, and that age bracket has a specific profile. Cast iron drain lines from that era are now at or past end of life across the city — they corrode from the inside, collapse, and back up sewage into the lowest fixture in the house. That is a contaminated-water loss that needs proper containment and protective equipment.

The neighborhoods that back onto the Hillsborough River carry riverine flood exposure, which is separate from and not covered by standard homeowners insurance. And the mature tree canopy that makes Temple Terrace attractive is also a liability in a named storm — most of our storm calls here start with a limb or a whole tree through a roof.

Common Questions

Storm Damage Questions From Temple Terrace

Should I get a tarp on the roof before the adjuster sees it?
Yes. Your policy obligates you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage — that is the duty to protect the property. Waiting for an adjuster while rain keeps coming in can actually jeopardize part of your claim. Photograph the damage first, then get it covered.
Is hurricane damage covered by regular homeowners insurance?
Wind damage is typically covered, usually with a separate and higher hurricane deductible. Storm surge and rising flood water are not covered by a standard policy — that requires separate flood insurance. This distinction catches a lot of Tampa Bay homeowners, particularly closer to the water.
How do I avoid storm-chasing contractors?
Ask for a Tampa address you can drive to and a local phone number. Ask how long they have been operating in Hillsborough County. Be wary of anyone going door to door, pressuring you to sign immediately, or asking for a large cash deposit up front. Verify the license before signing anything.
What should I do first after storm damage?
Make sure the property is safe — no downed lines, no compromised structure. Photograph everything before you move or clean anything. Call your insurer to open the claim. Then call us to get emergency protection in place so the damage stops growing.
