Hurricane Milton dropped flash flooding on Plant City in October 2024. First responders handled 75 entrapment and rescue calls and pulled 126 people out of the water. Hundreds of the flooded homes sat in Flood Zone X, outside the mapped 100 year floodplain. Their owners had no flood policy and a soaked house to deal with.
Global Construction and Home Repair is a demolition contractor based in Valrico, about 10 miles west of Plant City.

We handle full house teardowns and also clear overgrown lots and pasture down to open ground. Call or text (813) 239-4231 for a free estimate.

Milton did its damage in Plant City with rain, not storm surge. The city sits inland, about 23 miles east of Tampa along Interstate 4. Water came up fast out of the creeks and canals that drain the area. The city manager called the flooding absolutely staggering.
Itchepackesassa Creek, Pemberton Creek and the Eastside Canal carry most of that water. The Eastside Canal alone drains about 6,300 acres of land in and around town. In 2025 the city bought 74 acres on Knights Griffin Road for stormwater storage. That deal gave Plant City its first direct access to Itchepackesassa Creek.
A flooded house does not always have to come down. Sometimes the answer is a gut out to the studs so the framing can dry. We can take out only the flooded rooms and leave the rest standing. When a floodplain review finds substantial damage, a full teardown is often the path.
Plant City counts about 15,500 housing units. Roughly a third went up before 1980, and more than 500 date to 1939 or earlier. That is old housing stock for Florida. The Downtown Plant City Historic Residential District holds 185 historic buildings on its own.
Old buildings bring old materials, so an asbestos survey by a licensed inspector comes first. Newer parts of town carry their own work. Walden Lake was one of the first master planned communities here, set around a 62 acre lake. We fill in pools nobody wants there and pull out the decks and screen cages.
Manufactured homes are part of the count too. Census figures put close to 900 mobile homes inside the city limits, with more sitting on farm land around town. The Oaks mobile home park flooded during Milton and floors buckled inside the homes. We demolish and haul a mobile home off, then leave a flat pad for the next one.
Hillsborough County has only three cities, and Plant City is one of them. That means a demolition permit inside the city limits goes through the Plant City Building Department, not the county. Addresses outside the city line, like Dover, Springhead, Cork and Turkey Creek, go through Hillsborough County Development Services. Asbestos notification goes to the county Environmental Protection Commission either way.
The city demolition application runs on sign offs. The applicant collects utility approvals first from the electric, gas and phone providers. The form then moves through planning and zoning, the water division, engineering, plumbing, fire safety and the building department. A notarized letter from the owner of record has to come with it.
Utilities have to be dead before the machines move. The sewer gets capped at the property line and the water meter comes out. A septic tank has to be pumped by a licensed septic contractor, then caved in and filled with dirt. Sunshine 811 gets called before anyone digs, and the permit office can confirm the current list.
Plant City is farm country. It calls itself the Winter Strawberry Capital of the World and hosts the Florida Strawberry Festival every late winter. Fields, pasture and grove land sit right up against the neighborhoods here. When a parcel changes hands, the barns, sheds and outbuildings on it usually go first.
We clear that kind of land. Trees, stumps, palmettos, brush and Brazilian pepper come out, and the roots get grubbed out of the dirt. The excavator loads the debris and the dump trucks haul it away. What is left is open ground for building, pasture or a new access road.
The commercial side runs along Interstate 4, US 92, State Road 39 and downtown near the old rail depot. Retail spaces, restaurants, offices and small warehouses turn over there, and older ones end up in the way. We take down commercial buildings in block and frame, plus additions and outbuildings. Property owners also call us to clear a space out before the next tenant moves in.

Global Construction did an outstanding job demolishing the original single-story, ground-floor portion of our home after it was flooded by Hurricane Helene. This was a highly complex project that several other companies declined because the original house had to be carefully separated from the remaining garage and ADU above, while also preserving the existing pool. Their team handled the demolition with skill, professionalism, and great attention to detail. They took on a difficult project, completed the work safely and efficiently, and delivered phenomenal results at a very fair price. We are extremely grateful to Global Construction and would highly recommend them to anyone needing an experienced and dependable demolition contractor.
We needed help demoing affected homes from the hurricanes in late 2024 to dry them out and thankfully we were connected to Mike and his son and their crew. They were great to work with, they were punctual, they were respectful and we all around a great experience working with them.
