A fire is over in minutes. The damage keeps working for weeks. Soot is still traveling through the house while the engine is packing up, acidic residue is already etching window frames and fixtures, and the water the crew put through the roof is sitting in wall cavities and under the flooring. United Water Restoration Group of Dunedin runs out of 3734 131st Avenue N, Unit #12, Clearwater, FL 33762, in the Gateway area next to the St. Pete–Clearwater airport. From that door, Pinellas Park is ten or fifteen minutes away, downtown St. Petersburg and downtown Clearwater about twenty, Largo and Seminole twenty to twenty-five, and Palm Harbor about half an hour. Someone answers at (727) 263-3778 at any hour, because the first night decides how much of the house survives. A fire loss is really four jobs stacked on each other: securing the building, removing soot and cleaning the structure, dealing with the contents, and drying the water used to put the fire out. Odor runs through all four. This page walks through each one, and through the parts that are specific to how houses here are built.
Dunedin sits on the Gulf side of north Pinellas, with Clearwater to the south and Palm Harbor to the north. More than half of its 22.94 square miles is water. That shapes every water damage job here. United Water Restoration Group of Pinellas County works out of 3734 131st Avenue N, Unit #12, Clearwater, FL 33762, in the Gateway area beside the airport. From there it is roughly 14 to 16 miles northwest to Dunedin, about 25 to 30 minutes by way of the Bayside Bridge. We answer the phone at (727) 263-3778 around the clock, because a slab-on-grade house in a humid climate does not wait politely for business hours. The work follows the IICRC standards — S500 for water damage, S520 for mold. What makes a Dunedin job particular is the housing: 1910s Craftsman bungalows near downtown with longleaf pine floors, 1920s Mediterranean Revival in stucco and barrel tile, and the post-war concrete block that fills most of Pinellas. Each one loses water differently, and each one dries differently.
Crews dispatch 24/7 from our Clearwater base at 3734 131st Avenue N, Unit #12 and cover all of Dunedin — one local team, no subcontracted call centers. See all services in Dunedin or read more about fire & smoke damage restoration.
