Flood Damage in Tampa Bay

Flood damage from storms, hurricanes and heavy rain is a fact of life on the Gulf coast. We respond fast, extract the water, remove debris and contaminated materials, sanitize, and dry your home aggressively so mold does not take hold afterward.

Because flood water can be contaminated, we treat it as a health hazard: extract, remove affected porous materials, clean and sanitize, then dry aggressively. Fast, thorough drying is also the best mold prevention there is, and as FL-licensed remediators we can handle any mold that has already started.

Why Flood Damage Is Different

Flood water is not clean water, and that changes everything about how it has to be handled. Storm surge, rising water and outdoor flooding carry mud, sewage, bacteria and chemicals, what the industry calls Category 3 or black water, so we treat it as a health hazard rather than just a drying job. That means extracting the water, removing and disposing of the porous materials it saturated like drywall, insulation and carpet pad, and cleaning and sanitizing everything the water touched before any drying begins.

There is also an insurance difference worth knowing: sudden indoor water losses are usually covered by a homeowners policy, but rising flood water is typically only covered by separate flood insurance. We document the loss thoroughly either way, work with your adjuster, and handle the job from extraction and sanitizing through structural drying and FL-licensed mold remediation, so a contaminated flood is cleaned up safely and completely.
