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.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
