Emergency water damage help in Durant, around the clock
Durant is an unincorporated community on County Road 676, about 6.4 miles east southeast of Brandon, and our dispatch line covers it day and night. When water is spreading, call and tell us what you see. We take the address, talk through the first safe steps and send a technician as soon as one is available.
Our base is in Valrico, so crews reach Durant along State Road 60 and County Road 676. Homes here vary in age and style, and the work we do depends on where the water came from.
If Water Is Still Spreading in Durant
Stop the source if it is safe

Cut power to wet areas only if safe
Use the breaker for a wet room only if you can reach the panel without standing in water.
Photograph and lift valuables

Call the 24/7 line
Call us and we will help you decide what comes next while a technician is on the way.
Why Durant sits close to the water
Public records put Durant at about 43 feet above sea level, which is far lower than Valrico at about 102 feet. Edward Medard Park and Reservoir sits just north of the community, east of Turkey Creek Road and south of State Road 60.
On October 11, 2024, the Southwest Florida Water Management District reported that Medard Reservoir rose 6.5 feet after nearly 7 inches of rain. The district released water to the Alafia River, an extra 60 cubic feet per second, which was under 1 percent of the river flow of 11,300 cfs. The Alafia at Lithia Pinecrest Road was at major flood stage and expected to crest.
If your Durant property is close to the reservoir or the river, check the FEMA flood map for your address and ask Hillsborough County Development Services about permits before rebuilding.
Water jobs that fit Durant homes
Crawl spaces and low ground
Older homes with raised foundations can collect water after heavy rain. See crawl space water damage.
Storm and flood cleanup
After a big rain, storm water damage cleanup and flood damage restoration cover water from outside.
Plumbing and appliance leaks
Supply lines and appliance hoses leak anywhere. Burst pipes and appliance leaks are common sources.
Drying and repair
After extraction, structural drying and drywall repair finish the job.
A short history that explains the housing mix
The Durant post office opened in 1902, and a rail line now known as the Sarasota Subdivision has run through the area since 1895. CSX acquired it in 1981. Durant High School opened in August 1995, and an F1 tornado struck the community on January 22, 1973.
That mix of older homes, newer subdivisions and storm exposure means no two Durant jobs look alike. Older construction may have different plumbing and wall materials, and our assessment starts with meters rather than assumptions.
