Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Pinellas Park

Local crews · Open 24/7 · (727) 263-3778

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 Pinellas Park 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.

Pinellas Park sits in the flat inland middle of the county, between the Gulf on one side and Tampa Bay on the other, at an average elevation of about 13 feet. Our shop is at 3734 131st Avenue N, Unit #12, in Clearwater 33762 — beside St. Pete–Clearwater International Airport, which sits right on Pinellas Park's northeast municipal boundary. The city effectively starts at our door. From there it is roughly four to six miles to the Park Boulevard commercial center, about ten to fifteen minutes in normal traffic. That matters because water damage is a clock problem. EPA guidance is to dry wet materials within 24 to 48 hours, and in a county where outdoor humidity averages around 74 percent year-round, nothing dries on its own while you wait. We are United Water Restoration Group of Pinellas County. We work to IICRC S500 for water damage and S520 for mold, and we answer the phone at (727) 263-3778 around the clock, every day of the year.

Crews dispatch 24/7 from our Clearwater base at 3734 131st Avenue N, Unit #12 and cover all of Pinellas Park — one local team, no subcontracted call centers. See all services in Pinellas Park or read more about fire & smoke damage restoration.

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 Pinellas Park.

Do

  • Wait for the fire department to clear the building before going back in
  • Call your insurance company early — fire claims move better with an early start
  • Keep receipts for anything you buy while displaced
  • Let us board up openings and tarp the roof to prevent secondary damage

Don’t

  • Wipe soot off walls or furniture — rubbing works it deeper into the surface
  • Run the HVAC system — it spreads soot through the whole house
  • Wash smoke-damaged clothing with regular detergent
  • Throw anything away before it is documented for your claim

Our Process

  1. 1

    You call, we answer

    Any hour, any day, a real person picks up — not a machine and not a national call center. You describe what you are looking at, and from that moment it stops being your problem to solve on your own.

  2. 2

    We assess

    Our crew works out how far it has really gone, including what you cannot see behind walls and under floors. You do not have to know what to look for, or guess how bad it is.

  3. 3

    We do the work

    What comes out, what gets dried, what can be saved — those are our calls to make, and we explain each one as we go. Readings are recorded throughout, so nothing rests on you taking our word for it.

  4. 4

    You get your property back to normal

    Our own team rebuilds what came out and hands the place back finished, with everything documented the way your adjuster expects it.

We Work With Your Insurance

Our crews document everything — photos, moisture readings, and a clear scope of work — in the format adjusters expect, and we communicate with your insurance company throughout the job. Pinellas Park homeowners always know what is happening and what their policy covers before work begins.
