The Dangers of Floodwater


The most important thing for Polk City, FL homeowners to know is the difference between water sources.

  • Clean Water: From a burst pipe. This is generally harmless at first.
  • Flood Water (Black Water): From rising rivers, storm surge, or sewage backups. This water is grossly contaminated with bacteria, chemicals, and pathogens. Never attempt to enter floodwater.

Our Professional Storm & Flood Response


  • Safety & Inspection: Our team arrives and, after ensuring the site is safe (no electrical hazards), we assess the full extent of the damage.
  • Emergency Board-Up (If Needed): We can secure your home by boarding up broken windows or tarping a damaged roof to prevent further water from getting in.
  • Water Extraction: We use powerful, truck-mounted pumps to extract all standing water.
  • Removal & Decontamination: Because floodwater is Category 3, all porous materials it touched (carpet, drywall, insulation) must be safely removed and disposed of.
  • Sanitizing & Drying: We clean all remaining hard surfaces with a hospital-grade disinfectant. Only then do we set up our advanced drying equipment to remove all remaining moisture from the structure.
  • Reconstruction: We are a full-service contractor and can handle the complete rebuild of your property.




Frequently Asked Questions


  • Is flood damage covered by my homeowners insurance? This is a critical point. Standard homeowners policies do not cover flooding. Flood damage is only covered by a separate policy from the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or a private flood insurer.
  • What if the water came from my roof? Water damage from a "wind-driven" event (like rain coming through a roof damaged by wind) is typically covered by your standard homeowners policy. We can help you with this.
  • How do you prevent mold after a flood? By acting fast. The key is to remove all contaminated materials and get the structure dry within 2-3 days. This is why our 24/7 response is so important.
  • My power is out. Can you still dry my house? Yes. Our teams are equipped with our own generators to power all of our drying equipment.
