What does the crew do on site?
Extract standing water, set air movers and dehumidifiers, check walls and floors with moisture meters, and write an insurance-ready scope with photos and readings. If drywall, pad, or cabinets have to come out, we say so that day — not after a week of running fans on wet paper.

Common questions
Water damage questions
Why does water need to be dried fast?
Florida humidity lets mold start quickly on wet drywall, pad, and cabinets. Extraction, air movers, and dehumidifiers, checked with moisture meters, keep a water loss from becoming a mold job.
How long does water damage restoration take?
Emergency mitigation starts immediately. Extraction and structural drying often take several days before repairs begin. Florida humidity, slab construction, and hidden cavities change the timeline. Equipment stays until moisture readings match dry materials.
Can you remove standing water?
Yes. Aftermath Restoration Group uses professional extraction equipment to remove standing water, then starts structural drying with air movers and dehumidifiers.
What should I do first after water damage?
If it is safe, shut the water off at the meter or the fixture stop and kill power to wet rooms at the breaker. Photograph every room, lift dry goods off the floor, and call (239) 688-2880 for extraction. Do not use a household vacuum on standing water.
Will my insurance cover water damage?
Sudden pipe or supply-line breaks, and the dry-out that follows, are often covered. Rising flood water usually needs a separate flood policy. We document the loss with photos, moisture readings, and a written scope for your insurer. You keep the claim; we are not a public adjuster.
Do you handle commercial water damage?
Yes. Aftermath Restoration Group works on homes and businesses in Lee and Collier counties and on the Pinellas coast, 24/7. Call (239) 688-2880.
