What to do in the next 15 minutes

  1. If it is safe, shut the water off at the meter or the fixture stop.
  2. Kill power to wet rooms at the breaker. Do not step into water with live outlets.
  3. Photograph every room, including baseboards and the ceiling above.
  4. Lift dry goods, rugs, and electronics off the floor.
  5. Do not use a household vacuum. Call (239) 688-2880 for extraction.

What we do on site

Extract standing water, set air movers and dehumidifiers, check cavities with meters and thermal imaging, contain Category 2/3 losses, and write an insurance-ready scope. If drywall, pad, or cabinets have to come out, we say so that day — not after a week of running fans on wet paper.

Common questions

Water damage questions

What is Category 1 vs Category 3 water?
Category 1 is clean supply water, such as a broken supply line. Category 2 is contaminated, such as a washing machine or dishwasher. Category 3 is grossly unsanitary, including sewage and flood water that has sat long enough for microbial growth. Category 2 and 3 need containment and often material removal, not fans alone.
How long does water damage restoration take?
Emergency mitigation starts immediately. Extraction and structural drying often take several days before repairs begin. Florida humidity, slab construction, and hidden cavities change the timeline. Equipment stays until moisture readings match dry materials.
Can you remove standing water?
Yes. Aftermath Restoration Group uses professional extraction equipment to remove standing water, then starts structural drying with air movers and dehumidifiers.
