A burst pipe gets your attention. An appliance leak usually does not. A supply line behind the washing machine weeps a cup a day. The dishwasher gasket lets go a little at a time under the cabinet toe kick. The water heater pan drains somewhere nobody has looked at in years. By the time the floor feels soft or the room starts to smell, the water has been moving through the wall cavity and across the slab for weeks. We are United Water Restoration Group of Clearwater, and our shop sits at 3734 131st Avenue N, Unit #12, Clearwater, FL 33762, in the Gateway area next to St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport. From that door, Pinellas Park is minutes away, downtown St. Petersburg and downtown Clearwater are each roughly twenty minutes, and Largo and Seminole sit just west along Ulmerton Road and Park Boulevard. We answer the phone at (727) 263-3778 around the clock, every day. Our crews work to the IICRC S500 water damage standard, and when a slow leak has already grown mold, to IICRC S520. Rated 4.93 stars across 169 reviews.

Clearwater is the county seat and the only one of our service-area cities with incorporated territory on a Gulf barrier island. That single fact shapes most of the water damage work we do here. Downtown sits on a bluff above Clearwater Harbor, high ground by Florida standards, while Clearwater Beach and Island Estates sit barely above the water that surrounds them. A few miles apart, two completely different jobs. Our shop is at 3734 131st Avenue N, Unit #12, Clearwater, FL 33762, in the Gateway area beside the St. Pete-Clearwater airport. From there, downtown Clearwater is roughly eight to ten miles northwest, about fifteen to twenty minutes on Roosevelt Boulevard or Ulmerton to US 19. We run the same routes out to Largo, Dunedin and St. Petersburg. The phone is (727) 263-3778, and it is answered around the clock, because water does not wait for business hours. This page explains what actually happens when water gets into a Clearwater house: how it moves, what it ruins, and what the work to put it right involves.

Crews dispatch 24/7 from our Clearwater base at 3734 131st Avenue N, Unit #12 and cover all of Clearwater — one local team, no subcontracted call centers. See all services in Clearwater or read more about appliance leak cleanup.

While You Wait for the Crew

A few minutes of the right first moves can save thousands in damage. Here is what to do — and what not to do — before we reach Clearwater.

Do

  • Turn off the water supply to the leaking appliance to prevent further water intrusion.
  • Remove electrical items from standing water areas to ensure safety and avoid electrical hazards.
  • Use towels and mops to absorb any accessible water immediately and reduce future damage.
  • Open windows to increase ventilation and decrease humidity which helps with initial drying efforts.
  • Take photos of affected areas for insurance documentation, ensuring a complete record of the damage.

Don’t

  • Don't delay contacting professional help to avoid worsening damage, as prompt action is critical.
  • Avoid touching electrical devices in wet areas to prevent shock, always ensuring electrical safety.
  • Do not place cardboard or newspaper on wet surfaces, as they can act as a wick for moisture.
  • Don't attempt structural repairs without proper assessment to avoid misunderstanding the damage severity.

Our Process

  1. 1

    Initial Assessment

    Upon arrival, we conduct a thorough assessment using thermal imaging and moisture meters to determine the extent of water damage and form a precise action plan. This process helps us decide on the best equipment and methods to apply, tailored to the specific conditions of your home.

  2. 2

    Comprehensive Water Extraction

    We utilize high-efficiency pumps and vacuums to quickly remove standing water, minimizing damage to subfloors, carpeting, and baseboards. This step is crucial in preventing water from seeping into foundations or other hidden areas that could risk long-term damage.

  3. 3

    Structural Drying and Dehumidification

    Deploying air movers and dehumidifiers, we dry affected areas, focusing on reducing relative humidity and preventing mold growth. This includes setting containment barriers and using vapor barriers to stabilize the environment during the drying phase.

  4. 4

    Moisture Monitoring

    Regular checks with moisture meters ensure drying progress and adjust equipment as needed to safeguard against secondary damage. Our team keeps detailed logs, monitoring any changes in humidity or moisture levels within walls and floors to ensure thorough drying.

  5. 5

    Sanitization and Restoration

    Once dry, we use antimicrobial treatments to sanitize the area, followed by necessary repairs, restoring your home to pristine condition. This includes addressing any cosmetic damage and ensuring all affected areas are returned to a hygienic and habitable state.

We Work With Your Insurance
