Water damage restoration in Tarpon Springs often starts at the Anclote River. Hurricane Helene's surge in 2024 pushed Gulf water up the river and flooded the Sponge Docks on Dodecanese Boulevard and low streets nearby. Hurricane Idalia brought surge to the same shoreline a year earlier.
The historic district around Spring Bayou has older frame homes with wood floors and plaster, where leaks hide behind walls and under floor finishes. Newer subdivisions east of US-19 are block on slab, with the usual supply line, water heater and AC condensate leaks.
