What Areas of Florida Does Drico Restoration Service?

We’ve been serving Pinellas County for years, from St. Petersburg to Seminole and beyond. Our team is based in Gulf Port, but we’re happy to drive throughout the region to assist property owners with flood damage requests.

How Long Does It Take To Restore a Flooded Property?

The duration of each restoration project depends significantly on multiple factors, including the: Extent of the water damage Type of property affected Length of exposure to moisture Source of the flood water Cooperation of the property owner’s insurance For smaller-scale incidents involving localized water damage, such as a burst pipe, the restoration process may take a few days to a week. In contrast, larger and more complex projects, like those resulting from severe flooding or storm damage, can extend the restoration timeline to several weeks. The presence of mold, structural issues, and the need for extensive repairs can also contribute to prolonged restoration periods.

Is It Safe to Clean Up After a Flood by Yourself?

DIY flood restoration tasks can pose significant risks, including exposure to contaminated water, structural hazards, and hidden dangers like electrical issues. If you’re not familiar with proper restoration techniques, you risk harming yourself and increasing the damage to your property. That’s why we always recommend seeking professional help for any level of water damage.

How Quickly Can Water Damage Lead To Mold Growth?

Mold can develop within a mere 24 to 48 hours if the conditions are right – and in Florida’s humid environment, they usually are. To prevent the spread of mold and its associated health risks, contact restoration experts promptly. The sooner you act, the better.

Can You Stay In Your Home After a Flood?

Whether you can stay in your home after a flood depends on various factors, such as the extent of flooding, the source of the water, and potential complications like structural damage or contamination. In cases of minor flooding from clean water sources, temporary occupancy might be feasible, but extensive damage or water from contaminated sources may necessitate evacuation for your own safety.

How much do water damage restoration services cost in Gulf Port, FL?

The cost of water damage restoration services can vary significantly based on many factors, especially the type of water involved (clean, gray, or black water) and the amount of water present. Small-scale incidents like minor leaks may only cost a few thousand to remediate, while severe flooding can incur prices in the five-figure range (or higher). To learn what your restoration project will cost, you’ll need to obtain a quote from a reliable service provider.

Does Homeowner’s Insurance Usually Cover Water or Flood Damages?

The coverage for water or flood damages under homeowner's insurance varies by policy. Homeowner's insurance and flood insurance are distinct policies, each covering different types of water-related damages. While homeowner's insurance typically provides coverage for sudden and accidental water damage, such as burst pipes or appliance leaks, it often excludes damage caused by floods. Flood insurance, on the other hand, specifically addresses losses resulting from flooding events, including heavy rain, storm surges, or overflowing bodies of water. For comprehensive protection, homeowners in flood-prone areas of Florida should consider purchasing a separate flood insurance policy.

Dan and his son Ben did a great job removing the mold from my primary bedroom. They got it all done in the time they said. Dan was very helpful and answered all of my many questions. I’m a new homeowner and had this issue come up unexpectedly so I appreciated the advice. Hope not to need their assistance again, but if I do I know where I’ll go! thank you 🙂
