What Causes Water Damage?
Water damage can happen without warning and from sources that aren’t always obvious. United Restoration’s certified team quickly identifies the source, contains the spread, and begins restoration before secondary damage sets in. Common causes we respond to include:
No matter the cause, early action limits damage and cost. If you spot signs of water damage, don’t wait. Contact our certified team for immediate inspection and restoration.
All inspections are performed by IICRC-certified technicians
How Do You Know There’s Water Damage?
Not all water damage is immediately visible. Moisture behind walls, under flooring, and above ceiling panels can go undetected for days — long enough for mold to take hold and structural materials to weaken. United Restoration’s IICRC-certified technicians use thermal imaging and moisture meters to identify hidden water intrusion before it becomes a larger problem.
If you notice any of these signs, contact us immediately for a professional water damage inspection.

Our Water Damage Restoration Process
United Restoration follows the IICRC S500 standard for professional water damage restoration — the industry benchmark for safe, effective, and fully documented recovery. Our proven process ensures nothing is missed and your insurance claim is supported at every stage.
Inspection & Assessment
Our technicians arrive on-site, identify all affected areas using thermal imaging and moisture detection equipment, document the damage thoroughly, and develop a detailed restoration plan. We assess the water category (clean, grey, or black) and determine the appropriate drying and remediation protocols.
Water Extraction & Drying
Using truck-mounted extraction units, industrial submersible pumps, and commercial-grade dehumidifiers, we remove standing water and begin structural drying. Air movers are positioned to maximize evaporation from walls, subfloor, and materials. Moisture readings are monitored daily to ensure the drying target is met before any repairs begin.
Cleaning & Sanitization
Once materials are dry, affected surfaces are cleaned, disinfected, and deodorized using EPA-approved antimicrobial treatments. This step eliminates bacteria, contaminants, and odors — particularly important for grey water and black water events.
Repairs & Documentation
We restore damaged materials — drywall, flooring, framing, and insulation — and provide complete insurance-ready documentation, including moisture logs, photo records, and scope-of-work reports. Our direct insurance billing means you deal with one team from the first call to the final repair.

Water Damage Restoration vs Water Mitigation
Which is the Right Choice?
These terms are often used interchangeably, but they describe different scopes of work — and understanding the difference can affect how your insurance claim is filed.
Water mitigation is the immediate response: stopping the source, extracting standing water, and protecting the property from further damage. It is the first phase of any water event response.
Water damage restoration is the full recovery: drying, cleaning, sanitizing, repairing, and rebuilding what the water damaged. It picks up where mitigation leaves off and returns your property to its pre-loss condition.
Most water events require both. United Restoration provides the complete scope — from the moment we arrive to the final inspection — so there is no gap between your mitigation team and your restoration contractor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about emergency response, insurance, and our restoration process in Florida. If you need help now, call (844) 979-8500.
We operate 24/7 and aim to have a crew on-site within 60 minutes of your call across our South Florida service area. The faster water is extracted, the less structural damage occurs and the lower your restoration cost.
Most homeowner and commercial property insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage — such as a burst pipe or appliance leak. Flood damage from storm surge typically requires separate flood insurance. We work directly with your insurance provider and provide full documentation to support your claim.
Structural drying typically takes 3 to 5 days depending on the extent of damage, materials affected, and ambient humidity. Full restoration including repairs can take 1 to 3 weeks. We provide daily moisture readings and a clear timeline from day one.
Regular inspection of plumbing, HVAC condensate lines, roof drainage, and appliance connections catches most common causes before they become emergencies. We are happy to advise on prevention during any service call.
Yes — mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours of a water event in Florida’s humidity. Our drying process is designed to prevent mold by removing moisture before it reaches the threshold for growth. If mold is already present, our certified mold remediation team addresses it as part of the restoration scope.
If flooding occurs, prioritize safety first. Turn off electricity if it’s safe to do so, avoid standing water, and contact United Restoration immediately for 24/7 emergency assistance. Do not attempt to clean or remove large amounts of water yourself—professional extraction prevents secondary damage like mold or structural weakening.
