Dover at a glance for water damage calls
Dover is an unincorporated census designated place in eastern Hillsborough County. It covers about 2.6 square miles, sits roughly 6 miles west of Plant City and 7 miles northeast of Brandon, and the 2020 Census counted 3,266 residents. That is down from 3,702 in 2010, so many of the homes are established rather than brand new.
Our dispatch line is open around the clock, so a leak at 3 a.m. gets the same intake as one at noon. We travel from Valrico along State Road 60 and Dover Road.
Emergency water removal in Dover

What shapes water damage in Dover homes
Dover sits at about 98 feet above sea level, close to Valrico in elevation. That means river flooding is less of a concern than in lower areas like Lithia or Durant, and more of the calls trace back to roofs, plumbing and air conditioning.
- Roof and flashing leaks that wet attic insulation and ceilings.
- Air conditioner condensate lines that overflow in warm weather.
- Supply line and water heater failures in established homes.
- Washing machine and dishwasher hoses behind appliances.
- Window and door seals that let wind-driven rain inside.
A stained ceiling after rain points to the roof, and ceiling water damage repair covers what we do inside. For air conditioner leaks, see AC leak water damage.
