Water mitigation refers to the process of reducing or preventing further damage caused by water. It’s not just about drying out your home. It involves removing standing water, assessing structural risks, sanitizing affected areas, and taking proactive steps to prevent mold and future issues. Proper mitigation helps you save on costly repairs and avoid permanent damage to your home’s foundation, flooring, walls, and belongings.
We know homeowners in Northeast Florida need fast and reliable help when water damage happens. Here’s what sets First Coast Contracting apart:
Water emergencies don’t follow a schedule. That’s why we’re available around the clock to answer your call. From downtown Jacksonville to the beaches and over to St. Augustine, our crews are positioned to respond fast and arrive fully equipped.
Our technicians are IICRC-certified and trained in the latest mitigation techniques. We don’t just remove water — we assess moisture levels, inspect hidden damage, and use industrial-grade drying systems to ensure your home is thoroughly protected.
After mitigation, you shouldn’t have to hire multiple contractors to rebuild. We offer full restoration and remodeling services, so whether your drywall needs replacing or your kitchen requires a complete rebuild, we handle it all under one roof.
Navigating insurance claims can be frustrating, especially when you’re dealing with damage. Our team works directly with your insurance provider to document the loss, submit reports, and ensure a smoother claims process.
Every property and situation is different, but our water mitigation services follow a proven process that ensures consistency, safety, and efficiency.
Once you call, we gather information about the incident and immediately dispatch a team to your property. Our quick arrival helps limit damage and speeds up the recovery timeline.
We conduct a thorough inspection using advanced moisture meters and infrared technology. This allows us to detect water behind walls, under floors, and in hard-to-reach areas. Accurate mapping helps us target the right areas without unnecessary demolition.
Using powerful, commercial-grade pumps and vacuums, we remove all standing water from the affected areas. Fast extraction is critical to prevent structural damage and reduce the risk of mold growth.
Once the water is gone, we use air movers and dehumidifiers to dry out the space completely. Depending on the materials and structure, this process may take a few days, during which we monitor moisture levels regularly to ensure complete drying.
Water damage can bring harmful bacteria or contaminants, especially in cases involving flood or sewage water. We clean, disinfect, and deodorize all affected areas to make your home safe again.
If materials like drywall, flooring, or cabinetry have been damaged, we provide full restoration services. From minor repairs to complete remodeling, our team ensures your home is restored to its original condition or better.

Living in coastal Florida has its perks — sunshine, beaches, and beautiful weather — but it also comes with water-related risks. Some of the most common sources of water damage we respond to include:
Whether it’s a heavy rain in St. Augustine or a plumbing failure in Orange Park, we’re equipped to manage the problem and protect your home.

We’re not just here for the emergency — we’re here to support you through every phase of recovery and beyond.
You should call as soon as possible — ideally within the first 24 hours. The longer water sits, the greater the chance of mold, rot, and permanent damage.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover water damage caused by sudden and accidental events, like burst pipes or storm intrusion. We work directly with your insurance provider to help maximize your coverage and reduce out-of-pocket expenses.
The timeframe depends on the extent of the damage. Most projects take between 3 to 7 days, including drying time. If significant repairs are needed, the restoration phase may add more time.
Yes. Mitigation focuses on stopping the damage and preventing further issues (like mold), while restoration involves rebuilding and repairing damaged areas. We offer both services to ensure seamless recovery.
