Emergency water extraction and drying in North Sarasota, FL

Reading a North Sarasota water loss

Typical North Sarasota water calls start with a failed water heater, a cracked supply line, a washing-machine hose, or AC condensate overflow. In Florida humidity, wet drywall can start growing mold in a day or two if it is not dried.

North Sarasota is a residential area just north of the city of Sarasota. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 2,573 residents in North Sarasota. The median year of construction is about 1975, so a large share of the housing stock predates modern Florida Building Code wind and water standards. Older housing in North Sarasota often has aging supply lines, water heaters, and roofs that have been through several storms.

What happens after you call

1. Confirm the water is off and wet rooms are safe to enter, with power cut to them if needed.
2. Pull standing water off the floors and out of carpet and pad with extraction equipment.
3. Take moisture readings room by room to find water that has wicked into walls and under floors.
4. Cut out wet materials that will not dry in place, and explain why before we cut.
5. Come back to take readings until materials reach normal dry levels.
