Water damage and mold problems are more common in Orange Park than many homeowners realize. Florida’s humid climate, frequent storms, and aging infrastructure can all contribute to issues that affect the structure, safety, and comfort of your home. At First Coast Contracting, we specialize in fast, dependable water damage restoration and mold removal services in Orange Park, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and surrounding areas.
We bring over 50 years of combined experience to every job, using proven techniques and high-quality equipment to protect your property and peace of mind. Whether your home has been impacted by a burst pipe, roof leak, or storm surge, our team is trained to handle water emergencies quickly and thoroughly.
When water enters your home—whether from a leaking appliance, broken pipe, or heavy rain—it can begin to cause damage within minutes. Flooring, drywall, and furniture absorb moisture rapidly, creating the perfect conditions for structural weakening and mold growth.
We are available 24/7 for emergency water removal. Once contacted, our team will arrive quickly to assess the situation, stop the source of water if necessary, and begin immediate extraction using commercial-grade pumps and vacuums.
We use moisture meters and thermal imaging tools to detect hidden water pockets inside walls, under floors, and behind cabinets. This helps ensure that no affected area goes untreated.
We use high-capacity air movers and dehumidifiers to dry out the affected space. This step typically takes several days depending on the extent of the water intrusion and the materials involved.
Contaminated water can carry bacteria and pathogens. We clean and disinfect all affected surfaces using EPA-approved antimicrobial agents to ensure your home is safe.
Once drying is complete, our team will repair or replace damaged materials, including drywall, flooring, and insulation. We aim to restore your home to its original condition or better.
Mold often develops within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure, especially in hidden areas like wall cavities or under flooring. In Orange Park and nearby areas like Middleburg, Green Cove Springs, and Fleming Island, mold is a year-round concern because of the humidity.
Our certified mold remediation specialists follow a proven process to safely and completely remove mold from your home:
We begin with a visual inspection and, if needed, air quality testing to identify the type and extent of mold contamination.
We isolate the affected areas using plastic sheeting and negative air pressure systems to prevent spores from spreading to other parts of your home.
HEPA air scrubbers are used to remove airborne mold spores and improve air quality during the remediation process.
Contaminated materials like drywall or insulation are carefully removed and disposed of. Non-porous surfaces are cleaned with specialized antimicrobial solutions.
After removal, we repair or replace building materials as needed and ensure the source of moisture has been fully addressed to prevent future growth.
We know how stressful water and mold damage can be. That’s why our team works quickly, keeps you informed at every step, and helps you navigate the insurance process if a claim is involved. Our reputation throughout Northeast Florida, including Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra, and St. Johns County, is built on trust, quality workmanship, and reliable service.
We understand the building styles, plumbing systems, and common issues faced by homes in Orange Park and surrounding communities. This allows us to make more accurate assessments and provide solutions that last.
Our team is fully licensed, certified, and insured. We meet all state and local requirements for water restoration and mold remediation work.
Whether it’s a minor leak or a major flood, we approach every job with the same urgency and professionalism. No job is too big or too small when it comes to protecting your home.
We handle both mitigation and repairs, so you don’t need to coordinate between multiple contractors. Whether it’s water-damaged drywall or moldy subflooring, we take care of the entire project from start to finish.
Our technicians take time to explain what we’re doing and why. We keep you updated on timelines and next steps so you never feel left in the dark.
While emergencies can’t always be avoided, there are steps homeowners in Orange Park and nearby cities can take to reduce the risk:
These simple measures can help protect your home from costly repairs down the line.
Water damage should be addressed immediately. The sooner it's treated, the lower the risk of mold and structural damage. We recommend contacting a professional within the first 24 hours.
Small spots on tile or grout can sometimes be cleaned with household cleaners. But if the affected area is larger than 10 square feet or located inside walls or ceilings, professional mold remediation is recommended for health and safety reasons.
It depends on the severity of the damage. Most homes in Orange Park can be dried within 3 to 5 days, but full repairs may take longer depending on what needs to be replaced.
Policies vary, but many cover sudden water damage (like from a burst pipe). Mold caused by long-term neglect may not be covered. We help homeowners work with their insurers to understand what's included.
Certain types of mold can affect indoor air quality and aggravate asthma or allergies. For those with respiratory conditions, mold exposure can be especially harmful. That's why it's important to remove it safely and thoroughly.
