Hurricane flooding, storm surges, and heavy rains are a serious threat in Tampa, causing extensive damage to property and peace of mind. At DES Construction LLC, we are a premier storm damage restoration company specializing in professional flood restoration. Our team is here to help you recover quickly and efficiently, restoring your home and your life with expert care and compassion.
24/7 Rapid Response
Immediate action is critical to mitigating damage and preventing long-term problems like mold growth and structural decay. Our rapid response team is available 24/7 to begin the water extraction and drying process, protecting your property from further harm.
Our Comprehensive Flood Restoration Process
We follow a proven, systematic process to ensure your home is thoroughly dried, cleaned, and restored. Our goal is to return your property to its pre-loss condition, or even better.
Emergency Water Extraction
The moment we arrive, our priority is to remove all standing water from your home. Using powerful, truck-mounted extraction equipment and submersible pumps, we can handle any volume of water. Removing the water quickly is the most important step in preventing secondary damage and the spread of contaminants.
Drying and Dehumidification
After the standing water is gone, moisture will still be trapped in porous materials like drywall, wood, and carpet. We strategically place high-velocity air movers and industrial-grade dehumidifiers to create optimal drying conditions. This advanced technology removes residual moisture from the air and structural materials, which is crucial for preventing mold growth and warping.
Cleaning, Sanitizing, and Deodorizing
Floodwaters often contain harmful contaminants, including bacteria, chemicals, and sewage. We use EPA-approved antimicrobial treatments to ensure your home is safe and healthy for your family. We also use specialized equipment to eliminate any lingering odors, leaving your home fresh and clean.
Full Restoration and Rebuilding
As a licensed general contractor and experienced storm damage restoration company, our services don’t stop at drying. We manage the entire rebuilding process. This can include replacing damaged drywall, installing new flooring, repairing structural elements, and even full-scale remodeling. We work with you to not only restore what was lost but to realize the vision you have for your renewed space.
Navigating Insurance Claims
Dealing with insurance companies can be complex, especially during a stressful time. We have years of experience working with all major insurance providers. We will meticulously document the damage, provide detailed estimates, and communicate directly with your adjuster to ensure your claim is handled fairly and efficiently.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the very first thing I should do if my home floods?
If it is safe to do so, turn off your home's main power and water supply. Avoid direct contact with the floodwater, as it can be contaminated. Then, call a professional flood restoration company.
How long does the entire flood restoration process take?
The timeline can vary significantly depending on the extent of the flooding and the materials affected. Water extraction may take a day, while the professional drying and dehumidification process often takes 3-5 days. The final rebuilding phase depends on the scope of the repairs needed. We will provide you with a clear and detailed timeline after our initial assessment.
Does my standard homeowner's insurance policy cover flood damage?
Typically, standard homeowner's insurance policies do not cover damage from flooding, especially in high-risk areas like Tampa. Flood damage is usually covered by a separate policy obtained through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or a private insurer. We have extensive experience working with all types of insurance policies and can help you navigate the claims process to ensure you receive the maximum benefit you are entitled to.
