What the Census says about Seminole housing

The Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey puts Seminole at about 19,287 residents. About 34% of units are in buildings with 10 or more units, so one unit's leak often reaches the units below. The median home in Seminole was built around 1979 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey); at around 47 years, many original supply lines, shutoff valves, and water heaters are at or past typical service life. About 13% of housing units in Seminole are mobile or manufactured homes, where water gets into subfloors and underbelly insulation fast.

What to do in the first few minutes

• Close the main shutoff if you can reach it safely.
• Turn off power to wet rooms at the breaker if you can do it without standing in water.
• Do not use a household vacuum on standing water.

What we do on a Seminole water job

1. Make the scene safe first: water stopped, breakers off to wet rooms, trip hazards marked.
2. Map moisture in walls, floors, and ceilings with moisture meters, so we know where the water went, not just where it shows.
3. Cut out wet materials that will not dry in place, and explain why before we cut.
4. Set air movers and dehumidifiers sized to the wet area.
5. Come back to take readings until materials reach normal dry levels.

Who pays, and who keeps the claim

Your insurer decides coverage. Our job is the documentation: where the water came from, what got wet, readings each day, and what had to be removed. You stay in control of your claim.
