About America Water Damage

Connecting You with Water Damage Restoration Contractors in Florida

Across Florida, America Water Damage works as a referral network for water damage restoration. We are not a restoration contractor and we run no crews. Our part is to listen to what happened, then connect the property owner with an independent local contractor who handles that kind of loss. NOAA's state climate summary says hurricane-force winds affect Florida approximately three times every five years, and that Hurricane Michael in 2018 was the strongest hurricane on record to make landfall on the Panhandle. Sea level rise is expected to increase the frequency of nuisance coastal flooding. Cold still plays a part in the far north of the state, where the summary records more than 20 freezing nights a year, compared with none in the south. Hurricane rainfall rates are projected to increase as the climate warms. Risks like these are why acting early matters in Florida. From Florida, you can reach us day or night. We do not send our own crews. We connect you with a local contractor, and that contractor assesses the loss, sets the scope and carries out the restoration.

  • Independent, locally operated restoration contractors
  • Requests matched by location and type of loss across Florida
  • We set no prices; the contractor scopes and prices the work
  • Reach us at any hour, any day

Why choose us for water damage restoration

Why Use Our Network in Florida

When a request comes in from Florida, we match it by location and by the type of loss, then connect the owner with an independent restoration contractor who serves that area. The contractor, not America Water Damage, inspects the property and proposes the work. Florida licenses contractors through the Construction Industry Licensing Board within the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. The same department licenses mold assessors and mold remediators under its mold-related services program. Where a water loss has led to mold, ask whether the person doing that work holds the DBPR mold remediator license, and verify both credentials on the department's website. For a loss in Florida, confirm those details yourself before signing, along with current liability insurance. How an insurance claim is billed is settled between you and the contractor. Pricing is theirs too. We set no prices and take no part in the quote.

Water Damage Restoration FAQs

Frequently asked questions about water damage restoration

Common questions about water damage restoration in Florida, answered plainly.

Contact Us
Is flood damage covered differently from other water damage?
Usually, yes. Insurers generally draw a line between water that comes from inside the building, such as a supply line or an appliance, and rising water that comes from outside, such as a river, storm surge or surface runoff. The second kind is what flood insurance is designed for, including policies written through the National Flood Insurance Program. Which category a loss falls into is a decision for your insurer, not for us or for a contractor. If you are unsure which policy applies, report the loss under both and let the insurers respond.
What does a water damage restoration contractor actually do?
The work usually runs in stages. The contractor inspects the property and maps where the moisture has reached, often with moisture meters and thermal imaging. Standing water is extracted. Materials that cannot be saved are removed, and drying equipment such as air movers and dehumidifiers is set up and monitored with regular moisture readings. Once the structure is dry, affected surfaces are cleaned and the repairs begin. A good contractor explains each stage in writing before starting, including what they expect to remove and why.
What are the categories of water damage?
The restoration industry commonly sorts water into three categories by contamination. Category 1 is clean water from a sanitary source such as a supply line. Category 2 is water with significant contamination, for example from a washing machine or dishwasher discharge. Category 3 is grossly contaminated water such as sewage or floodwater. The category matters because it changes what can be cleaned and kept and what has to be removed. Clean water can also degrade into a worse category the longer it sits, which is one more reason to act early.
How long does drying take?
There is no single answer, and you should be cautious of anyone who promises one before seeing the property. Drying time depends on how much water was involved, how long materials were wet, what they are made of and the conditions in the building. Dense materials such as hardwood, plaster and concrete release moisture more slowly than drywall or carpet. The honest measure is not the calendar but the readings. A contractor should track moisture levels regularly and keep drying until the affected materials reach a dry standard.
What should I check before hiring a restoration contractor?
Check the credential that applies where you live, because the rules differ by state. Some states license contractors or require registration, some leave it to cities and counties, and a few license mold work separately. Ask for the license or registration number and verify it with the issuing body. Ask for proof of general liability insurance and, if they have employees, workers compensation cover. Ask for a written scope of work before anything is removed. Many restoration firms also hold IICRC certification, which you can ask to see.
