There are No Basements in Florida We Need More Storage!


Are you new to Florida? As you have probably have noticed by now that we don’t have basements in Florida. Do you know why?

Why are there no basements in Tampa Bay?

The main reason that Tampa Bay does not have basements is damp soil. Since Tampa Bay is coastal, swamp land and/or wetland territory, we have too much water in the ground to make a basement feasible. When the water table is less than a meter under the ground, the requisite eight or more feet of depth for a basement is simply not possible.

What does that mean to you?

We don’t have the extra storage space that our friends in the north have with their basements so we have to get clever with maximizing our storage space.

Where do we put our extra items that we need to be stored?

Have you thought of putting things up and out of the way?
