Storm and Hurricane Water Damage Extraction in Florida means pulling standing water out of your home fast, before it becomes a mold problem. We run truck-mounted extractors, air movers, and dehumidifiers across the state, working storm surge flooding, roof leaks, and burst pipes the same day you call. If a hurricane just pushed water through your doors, we are the crew that gets your floors dry and your claim documented.
Storm and Hurricane Water Damage Extraction in Florida is the emergency removal of floodwater, storm surge, and rain intrusion from a building, followed by structural drying to ANSI/IICRC S500 standards. It starts with a moisture meter and thermal imaging camera to map how far the water traveled, then a truck-mounted water extractor pulls thousands of gallons out of carpet, tile, and slab. From there we set air movers, dehumidifiers, and desiccant units until the framing reads dry.
Florida homes take water in ways other states do not see. Storm surge flooding pushes saltwater under doors in coastal neighborhoods, hurricane water intrusion drives rain through failed roof decks, and slab leaks show up weeks after the storm. That is why hurricane flood water removal in Florida has to start within hours, not days. The longer water sits in a Florida house, the faster mold growth starts in the wall cavities and the more flooring you lose.
Every storm job starts with the same core scope: emergency response, water extraction, structural drying, and documentation. Here is what is covered on a standard call, and where add-on work like mold remediation or full rebuild gets scoped separately.
We answer the phone around the clock and dispatch a crew with extraction and drying equipment already loaded. No call center, no waiting until morning. During named storms we stage crews ahead of landfall so response starts the moment it is safe to roll.
We use a moisture meter, thermal imaging camera, and borescope camera to find water behind baseboards, under cabinets, and inside wall cavities. This mapping drives the whole job, because drying the wrong areas leaves hidden moisture that turns into mold.
Truck-mounted extractors, portable units, water pumps, and wet/dry vacuums clear standing water from carpet, tile, hardwood, and concrete. Deep floodwater gets pumped first, then extracted, then dried. Most homes are clear of standing water in two to six hours.
Air movers, refrigerant dehumidifiers, and desiccant dehumidifiers run until the framing hits its dry standard. Floor drying mats and wall cavity drying vents reach water trapped under hardwood and inside walls. A typical dry-out takes three to five days with daily monitoring.
We apply antimicrobial solution and disinfectant to affected framing, subfloor, and wall cavities to stop mold growth before it starts. In Florida humidity, this step is not optional. It is the difference between a dry-out and a full remediation job.
Photos, moisture readings, equipment logs, and an Xactimate scope of loss go into a package your adjuster can process. We can talk directly with your carrier and bill them on approved claims, so you are not fronting the money and chasing reimbursement.
You call, we ask what flooded and how deep. We dispatch a crew with extraction and drying equipment loaded, 24/7, including holidays and the middle of the night. You get a straight answer on when we will be at your door.
On arrival we use a moisture meter, thermal imaging camera, and borescope camera to find water you cannot see behind baseboards and under cabinets. This takes 20 to 40 minutes and tells us exactly how far the damage reaches before we touch anything.
Truck-mounted and portable extraction units pull standing water out of carpet, tile, and hardwood. For deep floodwater we run a water pump first, then finish with extractors and wet/dry vacuums. Most residential extraction is done in two to six hours.
We set air movers, refrigerant dehumidifiers, and desiccant dehumidifiers to dry the framing, drywall, and subfloor. Floor drying mats and wall cavity drying vents reach water trapped under hardwood and inside walls. A typical dry-out runs three to five days.
We take daily moisture meter and infrared thermometer readings until the structure hits its dry standard. Then we hand you a full documentation package, photos, readings, and an Xactimate scope, ready for your insurance claim.
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Pulls 100 to 300 gallons per minute from carpet, tile, and hardwood. This is the workhorse on every storm call and the reason we clear standing water in hours instead of days.
Shows temperature differences that reveal hidden moisture behind walls, under floors, and in ceilings. We use it to map the full extent of the water before we start extracting.
Gives us numeric readings on how wet the framing and drywall actually are. We log readings daily and use them to decide when the structure has hit its dry standard.
Pulls moisture out of the air so wet materials can release their water. Desiccant units handle cooler, deeper drying; refrigerant units handle the typical Florida hot, humid interior.
Filters airborne mold spores, dust, and debris out of the air during the dry-out. This keeps the rest of the house from getting contaminated while we work.
Lets us look inside wall cavities without cutting them open. We use it to confirm whether water reached the insulation and framing before we decide on a drying strategy.
A tropical storm pushed two inches of water through sliding doors into a carpeted family room. The carpet and pad were saturated, water had wicked up the drywall six inches, and the homeowner had been running a shop vac for hours with no progress.
We extracted 180 gallons in three hours, pulled the saturated carpet and pad, and dried the subfloor and lower drywall in four days. Moisture meter readings came back to dry standard, and the insurance claim covered the flooring replacement.
Storm surge flooded a ground-floor garage and finished storage area with six inches of saltwater. Everything was contaminated, the drywall was soaked to two feet, and the homeowner had no idea what the insurance would cover.
We pumped the bulk water, removed the contaminated drywall and flooring, treated the framing with antimicrobial solution, and dried the structure in five days. The Category 3 loss was documented fully and the carrier approved the full scope.
Wind-driven rain found a failed flashing and dripped through the ceiling into a bedroom for two days before the homeowner noticed. The ceiling drywall was sagging, the attic insulation was soaked, and water had traveled along the joists into the next room.
We traced the water path with thermal imaging, extracted from the ceiling and attic, and dried the joists and framing in four days. The roof damage was documented separately so the claim covered both the repair and the interior dry-out.
Every storm leaves a different kind of mess. These are the four we get called for most, and what happens if they are left alone.
Ask a pro →We pump and extract the water, remove contaminated materials, treat the structure with antimicrobial solution, and dry it to the ANSI/IICRC S500 standard. We document the contamination level so your adjuster scopes the job correctly.
We use thermal imaging and a borescope camera to trace the water path, extract from ceilings and attic framing, and dry the whole affected area. Our report also documents the roof damage so your claim covers both the leak and the interior.
We apply antimicrobial solution during the dry-out, run HEPA air scrubbers to capture airborne spores, and monitor moisture daily. If mold is already present, our Florida Mold-Related Services License (MRSA) credentials let us handle the remediation.
We document every affected room with photos, moisture meter readings, and Xactimate line items your adjuster recognizes. We can talk directly with your carrier, which is how post hurricane water removal Florida claims actually get approved and paid.
“Storm pushed water under our back doors and soaked the whole family room carpet. The crew was at the house in about two hours, pulled the water, and had air movers and dehumidifiers running that same night. Five days later the moisture meter read dry and the adjuster approved the claim without a fight.”

✓ Verified“We manage six units and a hurricane flooded three of them at once. They staged equipment before landfall, so they were extracting the morning after the storm instead of two days later like the last company we used. The Xactimate report was clean and our carrier paid the full scope.”
Elena R.Property Manager, Miramar
✓ Verified“Storm surge came through the ground floor and I figured the place was gone. They pumped it out, dried the framing, and treated everything with antimicrobial so we did not get mold. Took four days start to finish. Honest pricing and they answered the phone every time I called.”
Dwight P.Homeowner, Marathon
✓ VerifiedMost residential jobs run $1,200 to $4,500, with larger flooded homes and commercial buildings going higher. Extraction alone often lands between $500 and $1,500, and the drying phase is the bigger line item because it runs three to five days with equipment on site. If the loss is covered, your insurance usually handles most of it, and we bill the carrier directly on approved claims.
Call a licensed water restoration company, not a general contractor or a cleanup service. You want a crew with IICRC WRT and ASD certifications, extraction and drying equipment on the truck, and Xactimate documentation for your claim. We answer 24/7, and we can be extracting water the same day you call in most Florida markets.
Yes, in most cases. Standard Florida homeowners policies cover hurricane and storm-driven water intrusion, including wind-driven rain through a damaged roof. Flood from rising water or storm surge usually needs a separate flood policy through the NFIP or a private carrier. We document the loss thoroughly so your adjuster can see exactly what happened and what it takes to fix it.
Standing water extraction usually takes two to six hours on a typical home, and the full dry-out runs three to five days. We check moisture meter readings daily and keep equipment running until the structure hits its dry standard. In Florida humidity, rushing the drying phase is how you end up with mold growth in the walls a few weeks later.
We deliver storm and hurricane water damage extraction in Florida as a statewide service, with crews staged across the state before landfall and dispatched to the hardest-hit areas after the storm passes. From Orange County to the Keys, we bring the same equipment, the same ANSI/IICRC S500 drying standard, and the same insurance documentation to every job.
