Flood Damage Restoration in Palm Bay, Florida

Flood restoration in Palm Bay and Brevard County

Palm Bay is in southern Brevard County on Florida's Space Coast. Turkey Creek runs through the city and flows into the Indian River Lagoon. To the west, Brevard County includes part of the upper St. Johns River basin, near the river's headwaters. Homes here can take on water from heavy rain, from storm surge or lagoon flooding during Atlantic hurricane season (June 1 through November 30), or from indoor leaks that go unnoticed.

We serve Palm Bay and nearby communities including Melbourne, West Melbourne, Malabar, Grant-Valkaria, Sebastian, Rockledge, Viera and Suntree, Satellite Beach, Indialantic, and Melbourne Beach. Call (239) 688-2880 and we will tell you when a crew can be there.

Flood damage services

• Flood water extraction. We remove standing water from floors, carpet, and other affected areas.
• Structural drying. Air movers and dehumidifiers dry walls, floors, and framing until moisture readings are normal.
• Moisture mapping. We use moisture meters to find where the water traveled, not only where it shows.
• Mold prevention after flooding. Prompt extraction and drying give mold less opportunity to grow. If mold is already present, we can remediate it under Florida license MRSR4195. See also mold remediation.
• Drywall and flooring removal. Materials that cannot be dried in place are removed on the first visit when needed, and we tell you what has to come out.
• Contents protection. We move or protect furniture and belongings so they are not damaged further during the dry-out.

How the work goes

1. Inspect the loss, photograph every wet room, and map moisture in walls, floors, and ceilings.
2. Extract standing flood water from floors, carpet, and other affected areas.
3. Protect or move contents where we can so belongings are not damaged further.
4. Remove drywall, flooring, or insulation that cannot be dried in place, and tell you on the first visit.
5. Set air movers and dehumidifiers and dry the structure.
6. Return for moisture readings until materials reach normal dry levels.
7. Hand you photos, moisture readings, and a written scope to help with the insurance process. You keep the claim; we do not file it, and we are not a public adjuster.

Before we get there

• Stay out of standing water if the power may still be on, and shut off electricity to wet rooms only if you can do it safely.
• Photograph every wet room before anything is moved.
• Do not use a household vacuum on standing water.
• If you can do so safely, move small belongings off wet floors and prop open vanity and kitchen cabinet doors near the water.

Documentation for the insurance process

We document the damage with photos and moisture readings, and we can provide a written scope to help with the insurance process. We do not file the claim, and we do not promise that any policy will cover the loss. You keep control of the claim. We are not a public adjuster. Sudden indoor leaks and rising flood water are often treated differently by insurers; rising flood water usually needs a separate flood policy.
