Gulfstream Restoration | Damage Restoration & Roofing in Big Pine Key, FL 33043

Our first priority is stopping the water source and securing the area. We then begin immediate water extraction and set up industrial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers. This rapid response is crucial in our humid climate to prevent the soaked materials from developing mold, which can start within 24-48 hours. We handle the damage restoration from the initial dry-out to the final repairs.

We start with a thorough inspection, often using moisture meters and thermal imaging to find all affected areas behind walls or in attics. Our certified technicians then contain the area to prevent spore spread, safely remove the contaminated materials, and use EPA-registered antimicrobials to treat the space. Finally, we address the root cause—the flashing failure—to ensure the mold doesn't return.

Typically, rainwater from a roof leak is considered Category 1 or "clean" water. However, if the leak has been ongoing, it can degrade into Category 2 or 3 ("grey" or "black") water as it interacts with insulation, dust, or other building materials, potentially containing contaminants. Our biohazard cleanup protocols ensure all affected materials are handled and disposed of safely and according to local regulations, protecting your family's health.
