Water Extraction and Structural Dry-Out in Miami, FL

Flooding in Miami can come from anywhere—a sudden storm, a burst pipe, or an overflowing appliance. The first step toward recovery is fast, efficient water removal. AFCAM Restoration’s emergency response team is available day and night, 365 days a year, to handle any water emergency across South Florida.

Our trained technicians arrive with industrial-grade extraction equipment capable of removing thousands of gallons of water per hour. We begin by assessing the extent of damage, identifying water sources, and isolating affected areas. Once the water is contained, we use submersible pumps, portable extractors, and truck-mounted systems to clear standing water from all types of surfaces, including hardwood floors, carpet, and concrete foundations.

Not all water damage is visible. Moisture can seep behind walls, under flooring, and into insulation, creating the perfect conditions for mold and long-term deterioration. That’s why AFCAM Restoration uses thermal imaging cameras and hygrometers to detect hidden moisture pockets that traditional inspections might miss.

We create a detailed moisture map of your property to identify saturated areas and track progress throughout the drying process. This ensures that every inch of your home or business is fully dried, reducing the risk of structural weakening or microbial growth. Our team documents every step, providing accurate readings for insurance adjusters and restoration partners.

Once standing water has been removed, the next critical phase begins: structural drying and dehumidification. AFCAM Restoration deploys a carefully designed drying system that balances air movement, temperature, and humidity levels to speed up evaporation.

We use high-powered air movers and commercial dehumidifiers to pull moisture from building materials, furniture, and interior air. This process not only prevents mold but also protects structural elements like drywall, flooring, and framing from warping or collapse. Every job is continuously monitored and adjusted until optimal dryness levels are achieved.

Not all water is clean. Category 2 (gray water) and Category 3 (black water) contamination require specialized handling to prevent health hazards. AFCAM Restoration’s certified technicians follow strict IICRC cleaning and sanitation protocols to ensure your property is safe for occupancy.

We remove contaminated materials, disinfect all affected areas, and use antimicrobial treatments to eliminate bacteria and odors. Whether it’s a sewage backup, floodwater intrusion, or appliance leak, our team treats every incident with precision and care to protect your family or employees from potential risks.

Water extraction and drying are only the first steps in a complete recovery. AFCAM Restoration provides detailed documentation, including photos, readings, and reports, to support insurance claims and future repairs. We also coordinate with contractors to restore damaged flooring, drywall, and finishes once the structure is stabilized.

Our integrated process ensures your home or business doesn’t just look dry—it’s genuinely moisture-free, safe, and ready for rebuilding. With Miami’s humid climate, taking shortcuts in drying can lead to recurring problems down the line. We take every measure to make sure your property is protected long after the immediate emergency has passed.
