When water invades your home, time is critical. Whether it’s due to a plumbing issue, a roof leak, or flooding from a storm, even a small amount of water can lead to bigger problems if not handled quickly. One of the most common follow-up issues from water damage is mold. For homeowners in Fernandina, having a trusted local partner to handle both water damage and mold removal can make all the difference.
First Coast Contracting has years of experience working with families across Fernandina, Yulee, Amelia Island, and surrounding communities. With over 50 years of combined experience, our team is equipped to respond quickly, remove water thoroughly, and treat mold at the source.
Water damage doesn’t just affect what’s visible. It can seep into drywall, warp flooring, damage structural elements, and create the perfect environment for mold to grow. The sooner the water is extracted and the area dried out, the better the outcome.
In Fernandina, where high humidity is common, it’s especially important to act fast. Moisture lingers longer, increasing the chance of mold. That’s why our crews are trained to identify hidden pockets of moisture and apply proper drying techniques.
We follow a clear and methodical approach that ensures your home is properly restored:
We respond quickly to assess the situation. Whether it’s late at night or during the weekend, our emergency services are ready for homes in Fernandina, Callahan, and other nearby areas.
High-powered equipment is used to remove standing water from floors, carpets, and affected rooms. We also inspect crawl spaces and attics, common problem areas that often go unnoticed.
Using air movers and dehumidifiers, we dry out your home. This phase helps prevent warping, swelling, and long-term damage.
We clean affected surfaces to remove bacteria and contaminants. This also prepares your home for any needed restoration work.
From drywall replacement to flooring repairs, we can rebuild what was damaged. As a licensed contractor serving Fernandina and nearby towns like St. Marys and Kingsland, we handle full restoration in-house.
Mold growth often starts within 24 to 48 hours after water exposure. It can spread quickly in Florida’s climate, especially in areas like Fernandina Beach and North Jacksonville. Our mold removal process focuses on identifying the root cause and treating affected areas thoroughly.
We begin with a detailed inspection, using moisture meters and thermal imaging to locate hidden mold. If testing is needed, we coordinate with trusted labs to identify the type and extent of growth.
After that, we isolate the area, remove contaminated materials, and use EPA-registered treatments to clean and disinfect. Our team wears proper protective equipment and follows strict safety guidelines to keep your family and property safe.
Local experience, responsive service, and attention to detail set us apart. We’re not a franchise or out-of-town company—we live and work in the same communities we serve. That means we’re familiar with the challenges specific to homes in Fernandina, Yulee, and south Georgia.
Here’s what makes us a preferred choice:
Dealing with water damage is stressful enough. Navigating insurance claims shouldn’t make it harder. We’ve worked with nearly every major insurance provider in Florida. Our team helps document the damage, gather evidence, and streamline the claims process so your restoration stays on track.
If you’re in Fernandina or Amelia Island and unsure how to start your claim, we’re happy to guide you step-by-step. That includes meeting your adjuster on-site and handling all repair estimates directly.

Homeowners in Fernandina, St. Augustine, and Jacksonville have trusted us not just for repairs, but for advice on keeping their homes safer moving forward.
Our reach extends across northeast Florida and into nearby parts of Georgia. That includes:
No matter where you live in this region, we’re close enough to respond fast and familiar enough to understand the construction styles and weather patterns unique to your neighborhood.
Immediately. Mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours. The faster you call, the better your chances of minimizing damage and costs.
Small surface mold can sometimes be cleaned, but significant growth or mold caused by water damage should be handled by professionals. Improper handling can spread spores and make things worse.
Most policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, but not long-term leaks or neglect. We can review your policy with you and help file your claim.
It depends on the extent of the damage. Simple jobs may take a few days; more complex cases with structural repairs can take a few weeks.
Not always. We do our best to contain work areas and limit disruption. If mold levels are high or repairs are extensive, we may recommend a short relocation for your safety.
If you’re dealing with water damage or mold in Fernandina or the surrounding areas, don’t wait. Contact First Coast Contracting today for a fast, local response and trusted service.
