Choose your situationRestoration process
Extract → Dry → Measure → Repair
Professional water-damage work usually follows a measured sequence so drying is verified before repairs begin.
01
Extract
Remove standing water with equipment matched to the volume and water category.
02
Dry
Use controlled airflow and dehumidification so materials and cavities can dry thoroughly.
03
Measure
Track moisture readings so drying continues until levels are appropriate — not just until surfaces look dry.
04
Repair
Plan repairs after the affected area is stable and the extent of damage is understood.
What Naples homeowners should watch for
Protect interiors when safe, document finish damage, and continue to help if water reached cavities or specialty materials.
Lanais, tile roofs, and specialty drying
Flat tile roofs and lanais are common water-entry paths in storm events. Luxury finish materials may need specialized drying — surface mopping is not the same as verified drying of finishes and cavities.
Gulf hurricane and surge exposure
Gulf Coast markets face hurricane wind and coastal or bay surge risk. Interior water after a storm often means both an entry point and materials that still need drying.
Post-hurricane recovery housing
Ian-affected Gulf markets include homes with storm-era roof or flood repair history. Incomplete prior drying or unfinished repairs can leave moisture paths that show up as new interior water or musty conditions.
Humidity and unfinished drying
Year-round humidity means wet materials that look dry on the surface can still support secondary damage. Project peak mold-risk window for this market: year-round; peaks July–September. Unfinished drying after a leak is the decision risk — not rainfall averages.

Insurance & documentation checklist
Coverage depends on the cause of loss and your policy. These steps help you organize what most insurers ask for.
- 01
Photograph from a safe place
Capture the source if visible, wet materials and a wide shot of the room — then stop if conditions are unsafe.
- 02
Write a short timeline
Note when you discovered the water, whether it is still active and what you already shut off or moved.
- 03
Call your insurer early
Ask what evidence they need and whether mitigation requires approval. Coverage depends on cause and policy.
- 04
Keep receipts and scopes
Save emergency shutoff, extraction or drying invoices. Ask for written scopes before non-emergency repairs.
