Storm damage in Orlando hits fast and leaves a mess that gets worse by the hour. Since 2005, Marsh Water Damage Orlando has answered the call for homeowners across Orange County dealing with wind-driven rain, roof leaks, flooded garages, and downed-tree water intrusion. We run Dri-Eaz and Phoenix drying equipment, send IICRC-credentialed technicians in marked vehicles, and put a written price in your hand before any work begins. If water is inside your home right now, call (850) 446-8938 and a live person answers, day or night.
Flood Cleanup
Flood Cleanup is the emergency work of removing standing water, waterlogged materials, and the mud and debris a storm leaves behind before mold or structural rot can take hold. Most Orlando homes we respond to need this after a hurricane band passes through, a retention pond overflows, or a drainage swale backs up into the slab. A typical residential flood cleanup in Orlando runs $1,200 to $4,800 depending on the square footage of affected flooring, the amount of standing water, and whether baseboards and drywall need cutting. We arrive with truck-mounted extraction units, set containment if sewage or contaminated runoff is present, and document everything with photos for your insurance file. Tobias Reyner leads the Orlando team with a rule that no equipment gets loaded back on the truck until the customer has walked the job with us and signed off.
Water Extraction and Structural Drying
We pull water out before it wicks into drywall and cabinets, which is the difference between a two-day cleanup and a two-week rebuild. Our techs use moisture meters and psychrometric readings (measuring the air’s moisture content) to set drying targets, not guesswork. In Orlando’s humidity, that data matters because surfaces can feel dry while framing underneath is still feeding mold.
Contaminated Water Handling
Floodwater from storm surge or overflowing drainage carries whatever it crossed: lawn chemicals, fuel residue, sewage. Our crews wear full PPE, build containment barriers, and run HEPA air scrubbers when the water source is anything but clean tap water or rain through a roof. We test and treat before drywall goes back up, and we’ll show you the numbers.
Restoration work we handle
Flooded House
A Flooded House needs a sequence of actions in the first 24 hours, and the order matters more than most people expect. Marsh Water Damage Orlando handles everything from the initial extraction through dry-out to the rebuild, so you’re not coordinating three separate companies while your drywall sits wet. In Orlando, a full flooded house response generally runs $4,000 to $15,000 when the whole lower level took water; partial floods affecting one or two rooms typically land between $1,500 and $5,000. The cost swings on how high the water rose, whether the HVAC ran while wet, and what flooring type came up. Every job starts with a written scope and a printed price, and we hand that to you before we move the first piece of furniture.
Flooring and Cabinetry Assessment
Tile on a slab can often be dried in place. Laminate, engineered wood, and carpet pad usually cannot. We check each material with a penetrating moisture meter and tell you what’s salvageable and what isn’t, with the reasoning behind every call. That transparency matters when your insurance adjuster asks why a specific line item exists.
HVAC and Duct Impact
If your AC ran while floodwater sat in the house, the system pulled moisture into the return ducts and the air handler. We inspect and treat the HVAC path during every flooded house job, because water in the plenum will re-humidify every room we just dried. In the Orlando heat, a damp duct system becomes a mold delivery network within a week.
Flood Restoration
Flood Restoration is the complete rebuild after the water is gone: insulation, drywall, trim, paint, flooring, and the finishes that make a house feel like a home again. Marsh Water Damage Orlando contracts the structural drying and the restoration under one roof, which removes the handoff where most homeowner headaches begin. A full room flood restoration in Orlando usually lands between $3,500 and $12,000 per room depending on ceilings, custom millwork, and whether electrical or plumbing lines were affected. We price the restoration in writing before demolition begins, and that price does not change unless we both agree in writing to a change order.
Drywall and Insulation Replacement
We cut the wet drywall to a clean, straight line above the water mark plus a safety margin, then pull insulation and treat the framing with antimicrobial before closing up. Our crews follow IICRC structural drying guidelines, not shortcuts, and we photograph the open wall cavity so you can see what we saw. That photo record goes to your adjuster, and it usually shortens the claims conversation.
Mold Prevention During Rebuild
Orlando’s heat and humidity turn leftover moisture into mold faster than almost anywhere in the country. Before new drywall and paint go up, we verify moisture content across the structure and run a final psychrometric check to confirm the envelope is genuinely dry. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers this work in writing: if something’s not right within a year, we come back and make it right, free of charge.
Basement Flood Cleanup
Basement Flood Cleanup in Orlando is less common than up north, but plenty of homes in Pine Hills, Lockhart, and College Park have split-levels or below-grade rooms that catch water when the ground saturates. If your lower level has a damp smell, buckling laminate, or water beading on the concrete after a storm, you need that space dried before the humidity migrates upward through the house. Basement flood cleanup typically runs $1,800 to $6,500 in the Orlando market, driven by access, floor finish, and whether the water table is still pushing water in. We respond to these calls year-round, and our XPOWER pumps and Injectidry systems handle the low-clearance, hard-to-dry spaces that standard fans can’t reach.
Below-Grade Drying Techniques
Below-grade spaces fight you because concrete stays cool and moisture moves toward it. We use Injectidry wall-drainage mats and axial air movers to force air through cavities and under flooring in a way that actually reaches the trapped moisture. In some Orlando homes, we add a dehumidification bank running around the clock until the moisture readings on the slab settle into a safe range.
Sump and Drainage Checks
A flooded basement is often a symptom of a drain problem, not just a weather event. We check sump operation, clogged French drains, and downspout discharge while we’re on site and flag what needs a plumber or a drainage contractor. You should know whether the water is a one-time storm event or a recurring condition before you rebuild the space.
Storm Damage Contractors
Storm Damage Contractors should be the company that shows up, not a scramble of separate subcontractors you have to chase. Marsh Water Damage Orlando functions as your single point of contact for Storm Damage Restoration in Orlando from the time the first branch hits the roof to the day the last piece of trim is painted. Our Orlando storm damage team handles water extraction, drying, demolition, rebuild, and the paperwork trail your insurance company needs, with a written contract for every phase. Typical storm damage contractor work in the Orlando metro runs $5,000 to $35,000 for the common Florida pattern: roof leak, ceiling collapse, wet drywall, and flooring on one side of the house. We hold IICRC, RIA, and IFA credentials on the technical team, and our equipment list includes B-Air air movers and Phoenix dehumidifiers, the same units major carriers see on commercial claims.
Insurance Documentation and Adjuster Coordination
We photograph every layer of damage before we touch anything, and those photos are timestamped and organized to match your policy’s claim requirements. Our team walks the property with your adjuster when possible, and we provide line-item documentation that speaks the adjuster’s language. The goal is a claim that gets approved for the actual scope of damage, not the scope someone guesses at from a distance. We also serve homeowners in nearby Kissimmee and Clermont with the same documentation standard.
Roof Tarping and Emergency Mitigation
We tarp and board where the opening is active, then stabilize the interior so no more water piles in overnight. The mitigation work is priced separately from the rebuild, in writing, before the first cut. You will not be handed a surprise invoice after the fact by a subcontractor you never authorized.
Storm Damage Cleanup
Storm Damage Cleanup is the clearing away of wet debris, damaged building materials, and compromised personal property after the storm passes. In Orlando, that often means a soggy ceiling that dropped into the living room, a wall bowed by wind-blown rain, or a carport that peeled back and let water into the garage. A standard storm damage cleanup runs $1,500 to $7,000 depending on the debris volume, the size of the affected rooms, and whether hazardous materials or sewage are present. Marsh Water Damage Orlando crews remove the damaged materials, bag and haul the debris, run the drying equipment, and leave the space swept and ready for rebuild. It’s the part of the job that looks overwhelming to a homeowner and routine to a trained crew.
Debris Removal and Material Disposal
Waterlogged drywall, insulation, and carpet are heavy and carry contamination concerns. Our crews bring the truck capacity and the disposal relationships to move it all out the same day, not over three days. We separate what can be salvaged and set it aside for you, with photos of the condition it was in when we found it.
Structural Stabilization
Wet ceilings and compromised framing get temporary support before removal begins. We inspect for hidden damage in the attic and wall cavities that storms expose, and we document those findings in the written scope. The goal is a site that’s safe for your family and ready for restore work, not a dangerous half-finished room.
Brands We Service
Marsh Water Damage Orlando runs Phoenix and XPOWER equipment on nearly every storm-damage job. Phoenix dehumidifiers are workhorses that handle the long-duration drying Orlando’s humidity demands, and our techs know their condensate-pump behavior and filter maintenance cold. XPOWER air movers and inline duct fans handle the focused airflow that forces moisture out of tight spaces like closets and under-stair cavities.
We also deploy B-Air units when a job calls for extra drying volume in a hurry, and Injectidry systems for the wall cavities and subfloor channels that standard fans never reach. Whether your storm damage involves one of these brands or any other equipment configuration, our team runs the gear the space actually needs, not whatever’s easiest to load.

AfterOur Process, Step by Step
- 1
Call and speak to a person. You reach a live dispatcher at (850) 446-8938, day or night, including holidays. We ask where the water is, where it came from, and whether you have any immediate safety concerns, then we schedule response. In most Orlando neighborhoods, our crew arrives within 60 to 90 minutes of your call.
- 2
Threshold Verified arrival. You get a text with the technician’s name and photo before we knock. That technician shows a photo ID badge at the door, every time. No unannounced crews, no unmarked vehicles, no wondering who is walking up your driveway.
- 3
Assessment and written price. A certified technician walks the damage with you, takes moisture readings with penetrating and non-penetrating meters, and builds a written scope with a fixed price. You approve it in writing before any equipment comes off the truck. You will never watch a number grow after demo starts without your signature.
- 4
Extraction, drying, and mitigation. We extract standing water, remove unsalvageable materials, set drying and dehumidification equipment, and track moisture daily until the structure hits target. Psychrometric readings confirm the air and materials are actually dry, not just surface-dry to the touch.
- 5
Walk-through and guarantee. When the job is finished, you walk through with the crew lead, ask any questions, and point out anything that doesn’t look right. We document the completed work, register the 365-Day Done Right Promise on your work order, and hand you the guarantee in writing.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Water beading on walls or floors. When moisture condenses on interior surfaces after a storm, it means the air is saturated and the building materials are absorbing water. Mold starts colonizing damp drywall within 24 to 48 hours in Orlando’s climate, and the clock starts the moment the water appears.
- A sagging or discolored ceiling. A ceiling that bows or shows brown rings has water pooling above it, and gravity is doing the work. That drywall can drop under the weight, taking insulation and a sudden gush of dirty water with it, usually into the room your family is sitting in.
- A musty smell you can’t locate. That odor is the byproduct of microbial growth, and it means moisture is present somewhere you can’t see, inside a wall cavity, under flooring, or in the ductwork. By the time you smell it, the problem has been active for days, not hours. Find the source and dry it out now.
- Buckling laminate or warped baseboards. Laminate that lifts at the seams and baseboards that pull away from the wall are absorbing water from below or behind. The visible damage is a clue, not the whole picture; the subfloor and wall framing are wet too, and they will not dry on their own.
- Electrical outlets or switches near water. Water and electricity are a lethal combination, and any outlet, switch, or appliance cord sitting in water is a shock hazard to everyone in the house. Do not touch anything wet or metal in that area; shut off the breaker only if you can do so dry and safely, and call a licensed pro immediately.
How Much Does Storm Damage Restoration Cost in Orlando?
A typical Storm Damage Restoration in Lake Mary or Orlando falls somewhere between $2,000 and $12,000 when the damage is contained to a few rooms: one ceiling, one wall, one flooring run. A roof failure that dumps water across multiple rooms and down into lower levels runs $10,000 to $35,000, and whole-house floods from a major storm can exceed that depending on finish quality and structural involvement. The drivers of price are the square footage affected, the height the water reached, the materials that came up, and whether electrical or HVAC components took water. Orlando’s humidity is a cost multiplier because it pushes drying times longer, which means more equipment days and more energy, and it shortens the window before mold begins.
What you should watch for is a contractor who quotes a low number and then sends change orders after the walls come open. At Marsh Water Damage Orlando, you get a fixed, written price before demo starts. If we discover hidden conditions, we stop, document with photos, and get your signature on any adjustment before continuing. A free estimate includes the moisture readings, the scope, the price, and the equipment plan, in writing. Call (850) 446-8938 if you want numbers for your specific house and your specific storm.

Frequently Asked Questions About Storm Damage Restoration in Orlando
Storm damage restoration is the full process of removing water, drying the structure, and rebuilding the damaged areas of your home after a storm event.
