Network status in Tampa: no operators are listed here yet. The network is being built, and we don't have job-volume figures for this area to share. We'll be upfront about what we see before you commit to anything.
How the marketplace works for operators
- Homeowners request jobs. They describe the work on Flood.co by ZIP and service.
- We turn it into a job brief. The request is structured the way an estimator would want it, not just a name and a phone number.
- The brief goes to a matching operator. It's routed to an operator in the network who covers that ZIP and does that service, not blasted to a list of companies.
- You quote and do the work directly. The job, and payment for it, are between you and the customer.
What's in a job brief
- ZIP code and matched metro area
- Service and urgency (right now, today, this week, scheduling)
- Property type
- When the water started, and where it came from
- Whether water is still coming in or standing
- How much of the home is affected, and what's wet
- Insurance claim status: yes, no, or not sure
- Mold signs: smell, visible, both, or none noticed
- A short description in the homeowner's words
- Photos, when provided (the same ones an insurer will want)
- Contact details and consent to be contacted
The Tampa market: what jobs look like
Common job drivers
- Storm surge and heavy rain during hurricane season can flood coastal and low-lying areas.
- Many homes are concrete block with stucco; water still damages drywall, flooring, and cabinets inside.
- Heat and humidity make fast drying and mold prevention important.
- Florida licenses mold assessors and remediators through the DBPR.

What Tampa homeowners ask about
From our homeowner guide for Tampa.
Do I need a licensed mold company in Florida?
Florida licenses mold assessors and mold remediators through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Ask for the license number and look it up.
Where do I find Tampa Bay evacuation and storm information?
Hillsborough County Emergency Management and the National Hurricane Center publish official storm information. Follow evacuation orders first; cleanup comes after.
Pricing and fees
Operators, not homeowners, pay to receive job requests. We haven't published pricing yet. We'll go over fees with you before you receive any job, and sending the interest form costs nothing.
Joining the network in Tampa
Can I get job requests from Tampa through Flood.co?
That's what this page is for. Send your company details and service area, and we'll follow up about routing Tampa job briefs to you. The network is new, so we'll be clear about request volume before you commit.
Do I need an office in Tampa?
No. You need to actually serve Tampa or the ZIP codes you choose. We won't list you anywhere you don't work.
Who pays?
Homeowners don't pay. Operators pay to receive job requests. We haven't published pricing; we'll go over it with you before you receive any jobs, and filling in the interest form doesn't commit you to anything.
Can I join for water only, or mold only?
Yes. Choose water damage, mold, or both. Mold briefs only go to companies that do mold work, and in states that license mold assessment or remediation, we'll check your license first.
