When your basement floods, immediate action is critical. Whether caused by a burst pipe, severe storm, or sewer backup, standing water in a basement poses serious risks to both property and health. At First Coast Contracting, we specialize in fast, thorough, and professional basement flood cleanup in Jacksonville, FL and the surrounding areas.
With over 50 years of combined experience in restoration and remodeling, our team understands how stressful and overwhelming water damage can be. We make the cleanup process straightforward, and we always aim to get your property back to its original condition or better. Homeowners in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Orange Park, Ponte Vedra, and nearby communities trust us because we deliver reliable service and consistent results.
The first thing to remember is safety. Electrical hazards, contaminated water, and structural issues can turn a flooded basement into a dangerous environment. If possible, shut off power to the affected area and avoid walking through the water until professionals arrive.
After ensuring safety, call a certified flood cleanup company like First Coast Contracting. Time is a major factor. The longer water sits, the more damage it causes—to flooring, drywall, insulation, and even the foundation of your home. Mold growth can begin within 24 to 48 hours, turning a manageable situation into a costly repair.
We follow a proven process that ensures thorough cleaning, drying, and restoration. Our team is available 24/7 for emergency service in Jacksonville and nearby areas.
Once we receive your call, our crew arrives quickly to assess the damage. We inspect the source of the flooding, the extent of the water damage, and any immediate safety concerns. This step allows us to create a detailed action plan for the cleanup.
Using commercial-grade pumps and vacuums, we remove standing water from the basement. This equipment allows for quick extraction to help prevent mold and further structural damage.
After water removal, we use industrial air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the area thoroughly. Moisture meters help us track humidity levels to ensure no dampness remains hidden behind walls or under floors.
Floodwaters often carry contaminants, especially in cases of sewer backups or storm surges. We clean all surfaces with antimicrobial solutions, remove damaged materials, and treat the space to prevent mold growth.
We don’t stop at cleaning. First Coast Contracting offers complete remodeling and repair services. Whether your basement needs new drywall, flooring, insulation, or structural reinforcement, our licensed team handles it all.
We can also assist with upgrades to make your basement more flood-resistant in the future, such as improved drainage, sump pump installation, or moisture barriers.
We’re more than just a cleanup crew. Our team brings years of hands-on experience, a strong reputation in the Jacksonville area, and a deep commitment to customer satisfaction. Here’s what sets us apart:

Even after water is removed, damage can linger behind walls and under floors. Keep an eye out for musty smells, warped baseboards, peeling paint, or unusual humidity. These may indicate moisture that wasn’t fully dried. If you notice any of these signs in your Jacksonville or St. Augustine home, contact us for an inspection.
We not only restore damaged spaces—we help homeowners protect their properties from future flooding. During the cleanup and repair phase, we may recommend solutions such as:
