Lithia sits at the low end of the Alafia
Lithia is an unincorporated community that is part of the FishHawk census designated place. Lithia Springs is under 8 feet in elevation, the lowest point in the area, and the Alafia River runs nearby. Lithia Pinecrest Road crosses the river and is one of the roads Hillsborough County named when flood warnings went out on October 11, 2024.
That makes flood damage a real concern here. Our 24/7 line is staffed around the clock, so when water is rising you can call without waiting for business hours.

What the October 2024 flood warnings showed
Hillsborough County reported National Weather Service flood warnings for the Alafia River from US 301 to Lithia Pinecrest Road after Hurricane Milton. Named roads expected to be affected included Lithia Pinecrest Road, Fishhawk Boulevard, Bell Shoals Road, Alafia Boulevard, Carr Road, Corlett Road, Revels Road, Alafia Ridge Road and John Moore Road.
Residents along the Alafia were told to seek higher ground. Even homes outside the floodplain felt the effects of that rain through roof leaks and overwhelmed drains, so the right service depends on where the water entered.
Newer homes and what that changes
FishHawk Ranch covers about 3,000 acres that Newland bought in the late 1990s, so many nearby homes are newer than the housing in Valrico or Dover. Newer construction can mean tighter building envelopes and more engineered materials, which respond differently to water.
Engineered flooring, modern drywall and tightly sealed attics all affect how we dry a home. We use meters on each material instead of relying on how a surface looks.
Flood damage
Water that enters at ground level is handled under flood damage restoration.
Storm water
Rain, wind and roof leaks fall under storm water damage cleanup.
Drying
After pumping, structural drying confirms the house is dry.
Floors and walls
See hardwood floors and drywall repair for repair details.

Questions about water damage service in Lithia
Do you cover every ZIP code in Lithia?
Lithia uses 33547, and part of the area also uses 33596, which also serves Valrico. We cover both, from Lithia Springs and the Alafia River side to the FishHawk Ranch neighborhoods.
Is emergency water removal available in Lithia?
Yes. Our line is answered 24 hours a day, every day, including during storms. If roads are flooded, dispatch will tell you what to expect.
Is my Lithia home in a flood zone?
Check the FEMA flood map for your address and ask Hillsborough County Development Services. Lithia Springs is the lowest point in the area, so flood zone questions are worth asking.
What do I do if flood water enters my home?
Move to higher ground, avoid water near electrical equipment, photograph the damage and call us. We pump out the water and dry the structure.
Will I know the cost before work starts?
Yes. We explain the scope and how the price is set before work starts, and you decide before we begin.
