Florida is one of the most flood-prone states in the U.S. According to the FEMA National Risk Index, over 100 flood events occur each year statewide, with 75% of Florida’s land area vulnerable to flooding or storm surge. Floods are not just inconvenient; they are dangerous. Standing water can harbor bacteria, sewage, and harmful debris, while soaked materials can grow mold in as little as 24 to 48 hours.
A timely and professional flood cleanup not only protects your property but also your health. By removing moisture quickly and sanitizing affected areas, we prevent long-term structural damage and air quality issues. For safety guidelines, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Flood Safety page to understand the hazards of floodwater exposure.
We offer comprehensive flood cleanup services across Florida, designed to cover all stages of the cleanup and restoration process.
We deploy industrial-grade pumps and wet vacuums to extract standing water from floors, carpets, and crawl spaces. Our team is available for same-day response to prevent water from seeping deeper into building materials. Quick water removal helps prevent further damage and minimizes restoration costs.
After water removal, our specialists use commercial dehumidifiers and moisture meters to monitor humidity and eliminate trapped moisture. This prevents mold growth and protects your home’s structure from warping, cracking, or rot.
Once drying is complete, we safely dispose of damaged furniture, drywall, and debris. All materials are handled in accordance with EPA flood cleanup protocols, ensuring that contaminated waste is properly contained and removed from your home.
Floodwater often carries pathogens and organic contaminants. We use EPA-approved disinfectants to sanitize every surface and restore indoor hygiene. This process eliminates bacteria, mold spores, and odors, leaving your home safe for occupancy.
Even after drying, microscopic moisture can trigger mold formation. Our team applies antimicrobial treatments and uses HEPA air filtration systems to prevent mold and mildew from spreading. Learn more about our mold remediation services for long-term protection.
As part of our handyman services, we also perform necessary repairs like drywall replacement, interior painting, and carpentry restoration. This ensures your home looks as good as it feels after the cleanup.
Gage Nelson Handyman Service proudly serves homeowners across Manatee County and Sarasota County.
