Inverness, Florida Restoration Services

When water is spreading across a floor, smoke has filled the house or mold has shown up behind a wall, you need a crew in Inverness today, not a callback next week. Water Restoration connects property owners in Inverness and the surrounding Citrus County area with local restoration companies that handle water extraction, structural drying, fire and smoke cleanup, mold remediation and sewage cleanup, 24 hours a day.

Local properties include homes spread across the countryside, many on private wells and septic systems, along with barns, shops and seasonal cabins, and each responds differently to water, smoke and moisture. Rural properties bring their own issues: well pump and pressure tank failures, septic backups, and seasonal homes that sit unheated and unwatched.

Local risks: Inverness and Citrus County

Local conditions in Inverness follow the broader pattern across Florida. Florida's year-round humidity, intense afternoon storms and hurricane season create the most mold-friendly conditions in the country, and air-conditioning condensate leaks are one of the most common sources of interior water damage. Storm surge, roof damage and wind-driven rain during tropical systems account for many of the largest losses. Problems tend to peak during hurricane season (june through november), but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

The calls crews receive most often from this area include:

• Roof leaks around flashing, vents and chimneys
• Wind-driven rain, roof damage and storm surge from hurricanes and tropical storms
• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Slab leaks from supply lines running beneath concrete foundations
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Clogged air-conditioning condensate lines and overflowing drain pans that soak ceilings and closets
• Electrical shorts in humid attics and crawlspaces
• Electrical fires when power is restored to water-damaged wiring after a storm
• Indoor humidity that stays above 60 percent for much of the year
• Flood water that was never fully dried out of walls and floors

Before the crew arrives

A few actions in the first minutes limit the damage and protect your claim:

• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Shut off the main water valve if the source is a plumbing failure, and turn off power to the affected area if water is near outlets or appliances
• Move rugs, furniture legs and valuables out of the water and off wet floors
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• Photograph and video the damage before moving anything

When and where damage happens in Inverness

Slab-on-grade construction is common, which means supply lines run beneath the concrete and slab leaks can go unnoticed until flooring buckles or the water bill jumps.

Hurricane season brings the largest losses, but year-round humidity and heavy summer rain keep crews busy every month. Cooking fires are the leading cause year-round, with electrical and heating fires rising in the cooler months. Humid summers mean mold can establish itself in days, and air-conditioned interiors create condensation on cold surfaces that keeps feeding it.
