Water damage restoration in Altamonte Springs

First steps

• Shut off the water at the main or at the fixture if it's safe.
• In a condo or apartment, tell your association or manager. Water often crosses into neighboring units.
• Keep away from wet outlets and cords.
• Take photos before moving anything.

When the Little Wekiva rises

In September 2022, Hurricane Ian pushed the Little Wekiva River to a record level overnight. Homes in Spring Oaks along Little Wekiva Road took on 2 to 4 feet of water, and many people had to be rescued. Cranes Roost also overflowed onto the surrounding paths and streets.

River water that enters a home is treated as contaminated. That usually means removing soaked drywall, insulation, and flooring, not just drying them. For clean-water leaks, which are much more common day to day, more can often be dried in place. We measure first and explain which case you're dealing with.
