What You Can Expect From Our Cocoa Beach Water Damage Restoration Service

When experiencing water damage, Cocoa Beach homeowners need to act fast. Mold can start to grow within 24-48 hours from the onset of flood damage, so getting in touch with our efficient team should be one of the first steps you take during this disaster. Our round the clock service ensures we can help you in your time of need, and depending on the situation, you may need to try to prevent water from flowing in, if possible. If not, our highly skilled team will handle all facets of water damage repair and cleanup including:

1. Water remediation: If you have not already stopped the flow of water yourself, or if it has not naturally subsided, we will block off affected areas to prevent more damage.
2. Water extraction: Depending on the amount of standing water in your space when we arrive, we’ll use a variety of methods to efficiently remove all of the moisture from your floors. This will most likely involve using a commercial wet vacuum if there is any level of liquid present.
3. Inspection: There are varying levels of moisture damage. We’ll need to inspect your home thoroughly to assess all areas that are affected and how much damage has been inflicted. Using infrared and thermal devices, we can see into the depths of your floors, walls, and ceilings.
4. Drying and dehumidification: In hot and humid Cocoa Beach, Florida, dehumidification is essential. You likely have a dehumidifier running in the summer, but we’ll use our commercial size unit to remove water vapor from the air in your home and floors, along with numerous fans. Your surfaces and walls must be dry first before we can clean them.
5. Cleaning: Floods are often dirty, and even though we remove the dirty water from your home, it’s possible that debris and sediment will be left on your floors and walls. We’ll need to thoroughly clean the affected areas and sanitize them using professional-grade disinfectant.

Our aim is to leave your home in as good of a condition as possible. This involves a swift approach to stop and remove moisture before mold sets in. If you waited too long to call us after experiencing water damage, we offer an award-winning mold remediation service as well.

FAQs About Cocoa Beach Water Damage Restoration

What Is Water Damage Restoration?

Restoration is the entire process of removing, drying, and cleaning excess moisture from your home. The process is required in times of flooding, natural disasters, and home disasters such as burst pipes. Water remediation is part of the damage restoration process, but it deals mostly with stopping the flow of water into your home, it doesn’t deal with things such as carpet cleaning. It’s the first step we’ll take to prevent more damage.

Will Home Insurance Cover My Cocoa Beach Water Damage Restoration?

Living on the outermost coast of Florida means Cocoa Beach homeowners likely have a great insurance plan. This area is often subject to storms and water or mold damage, and it’s very possible that your home insurance plan will cover these things. As long as the damage happened by accident (ie. the area flooded or a hurricane hit), your home should be covered. 

On the other hand, plumbing repairs usually aren’t. If you’re unsure of what’s covered by your policy, we recommend reviewing your documents or speaking directly with your insurance provider. If your home is covered, our professional team will reach out to your insurance company and give them all of the required information to begin your claim. 

Is Cocoa Beach Water Damage Restoration Expensive?

Since there are different levels of moisture damage and varying sizes of spaces affected, the amount for restoration Cocoa Beach homeowners will pay fluctuates. To get an accurate estimate, we will need to survey your home and assess the level of damage.

Five Questions You Should Ask Before Hiring A Cocoa Beach Mold Removal Company

If you need or are considering hiring a Cocoa mold removal company, there are a few questions you should ask in addition to questions related to their insurance, background, reviews, etc. Below are five questions we recommend asking every contractor before agreeing to work with them.

Are your employees certified and trained?

This one seems like a “no-brainer,” but believe it or not, there are no official Cocoa Beach mold remediation or indoor air quality certification requirements in the state of Florida. Unfortunately, this means that there are many companies underqualified to handle your mold problem as it relates to your health.

Our employees hold a certification in Water Damage Restoration and a certification for Applied Microbial Remediation through the IICRC.

What chemicals do you use to kill mold?

The products used to clean and rid surfaces of mold should not be dangerous to your health. Instead, proper remediation aims to mitigate an already toxic environment and not expose you and your family to more toxic chemicals.

Do you test before and after performing mold remediation?

The answer should always be Yes. To properly diagnose and remedy a mold problem, the Cocoa Beach mold remediation contractor must know mold levels before and after remediation. In most instances, the person or company performing the mold test should not be the person or company responsible for conducting any mold testing. Successful remediation is determined by the outcome of the post-remediation clearance testing, and the contractor should not determine the success of the remediation.

Do you wear protective equipment and clothing?

Again, this one should be a “no-brainer.” Still, you would be surprised at the number of non-certified Cocoa Beach mold remediation and water mitigation companies we encounter who completely ignore “PPE.” This question alone should tell the customer that the contractor does not consider toxic mold to be a health risk and be reason enough not to hire them.

What are your containment practices?

A professional Cocoa Beach mold cleanup company should be able to walk potential customers through their containment practices. Processes such as; how they seal the infected area and quarantine the moldy area from the rest of the home, what types of negative airflow, fans, HEPA filtration and HEPA vacuums they use, and how they clean and clean sanitize their equipment from job to job to avoid contamination.
