When a pipe bursts at 2 a.m. or a storm pushes water under your door, water extraction and drying Naples FL is the difference between a repair and a rebuild. We handle homes and businesses across Collier County, from Olde Naples bungalows to Vanderbilt Beach high-rises. Our IICRC-certified crews extract standing water, set drying equipment the same day, and monitor moisture until your structure reads dry.
Water extraction and drying Naples FL is the two-stage emergency service that removes standing water from your floors and then dries the building materials water soaked into. Extraction is mechanical: truck-mounted and portable extraction units pull hundreds of gallons out of carpet, padding, and subflooring in a single visit. Drying is the slower half. Air movers push 1,500 to 3,000 cubic feet per minute across wet surfaces while dehumidifiers pull that moisture out of the air, and we run both until a moisture meter reads normal.
Naples homes get wet in predictable ways. Slab leaks under tile, pipe bursts behind kitchen walls, roof leaks after a summer squall, and storm surge pushing through ground-floor sliders. Because our humidity sits above 70 percent most of the year, a wet wall cavity that would dry on its own in a drier climate will grow mold in 24 to 48 hours here. That is why we treat water removal and drying Naples as one continuous job, not two separate appointments.
Every job starts with a full inspection and ends with a written drying report. Here is what is covered as part of standard water extraction and drying, and what we handle as an add-on when the loss calls for it.
We check every affected room with a thermal imaging camera and moisture meter, plus a borescope inspection camera in wall cavities. You see the readings before we place a single piece of equipment. Hidden water behind walls gets found on day one, not day four.
Truck-mounted and portable extraction units pull water out of carpet, padding, and hard flooring. A sump pump handles deeper water in basements and crawl spaces. Most residential extraction is done in two to four hours, and we haul away contaminated carpet and padding when the water category requires it.
Air movers and dehumidifiers get sized to the wet zone and placed to dry walls, floors, and ceilings, not just the air. Hardwood floor drying mats go down on wood floors. Plastic sheeting or ZipWall barriers concentrate airflow where it is needed most.
We return every 24 hours to log moisture readings, check equipment, and adjust placement. You get a call each morning with the previous day's numbers. Drying continues until structural materials read within 2 to 4 percentage points of a dry reference area.
Wet structural materials get treated with antimicrobial solution to slow microbial growth while drying is underway. Sewage and storm surge losses also get disinfectant and, where needed, HEPA vacuum and negative air machine work. This is standard on every contaminated-water job.
Photos, moisture logs, and equipment records get compiled into a drying report. We build estimates in Xactimate, the platform most carriers use, and can bill your insurance directly. You get a copy of everything, whether you file a claim or pay out of pocket.
You call, we answer. We ask what happened, where the water is coming from, and whether the source is shut off. Within 60 to 90 minutes a crew is rolling to your address with extraction units and drying equipment loaded. If you are standing in water, we tell you on the phone how to kill power to affected rooms before we arrive.
We walk the property with a thermal imaging camera and a moisture meter, checking walls, ceilings, and floors for water you cannot see. A borescope inspection camera goes into wall cavities behind baseboards. We map the wet zone on a floor plan, photograph everything, and show you the readings before any equipment gets placed.
Truck-mounted extraction units pull standing water out of carpet, padding, and hard flooring. For sewage backups or storm surge, we remove contaminated carpet and padding entirely and bag it for disposal. A sump pump handles deeper water in basements and crawl spaces. Most residential extraction takes two to four hours.
We set air movers and dehumidifiers based on the size of the wet zone, usually one air mover per 10 to 16 linear feet of wet wall. Hardwood floor drying mats go down on wood floors. We may hang plastic sheeting or ZipWall barriers to concentrate airflow in one room. Equipment runs continuously for three to five days.
We return every 24 hours to log moisture readings, check equipment, and adjust placement. Drying is done when structural materials read within 2 to 4 percentage points of a dry reference area and humidity in the space holds steady. Then we remove equipment, take final photos, and hand you the drying report for your claim.
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Finds temperature differences that reveal hidden water behind walls, under floors, and above ceilings. We scan every affected room before placing equipment so nothing gets missed.
Reads moisture content in drywall, wood, and subflooring. We log readings at every visit and compare wet materials against a dry reference area to decide when drying is finished.
Pushes 1,500 to 3,000 cubic feet per minute of air across wet surfaces to speed evaporation. We place roughly one air mover per 10 to 16 linear feet of wet wall.
Pulls moisture out of the air so wet materials keep releasing water. Sized to the cubic footage of the wet zone and run continuously until the space holds steady humidity.
Truck-mounted and portable units that pull standing water out of carpet, padding, and hard flooring. Most residential extraction is done in two to four hours.
Draws moisture out of wood floorboards without causing cupping. Used on hardwood losses where the boards can still be saved.
Slides into wall cavities and crawl spaces to confirm hidden moisture is gone. We use it before closing up any wall or access panel.
A supply line let go behind the refrigerator overnight. Water spread across 600 square feet of tile, soaked the baseboards, and wicked up into the drywall on two walls. The homeowner found it at 7 a.m. with standing water in the kitchen and hallway.
We extracted 40 gallons in the first visit, removed baseboards, and set 12 air movers and 3 dehumidifiers. Moisture readings dropped from 28 percent to 11 percent over four days. Final readings confirmed dry, and the wall repair was scheduled the following week.
A fall storm pushed surge water through the ground-floor sliders of a waterfront home. Carpet and padding were soaked, baseboards were wet 6 inches up, and the water was contaminated with silt. The homeowner called the morning after the storm.
We removed and disposed of 800 square feet of carpet and padding, extracted the remaining water, applied antimicrobial solution, and dried the tile, baseboards, and wall base over five days. Moisture readings confirmed dry, and the drying report went to the carrier that week.
A sump failure left 3 inches of standing water in a crawl space under a 1,800-square-foot home. Insulation was soaked, and the subflooring above was reading 24 percent moisture. The homeowner noticed cupping floors and a musty smell before calling.
We pumped and extracted the standing water, removed the soaked insulation, and dried the subflooring and joists over six days. Moisture readings dropped to 12 percent. A borescope inspection confirmed no hidden moisture before we closed the access panel.
Most Naples water losses fall into a handful of categories. Each one has a different drying strategy, and getting the category right on day one is what keeps a repair from turning into a rebuild.
Ask a pro →We shut down the source, extract standing water, and use thermal imaging and a borescope inspection camera to map the full wet zone inside the wall. Then we dry the cavity with directed airflow and dehumidification until the moisture meter reads dry.
We locate the wet zone with a moisture meter and infrared thermometer, extract what we can, and dry the slab and wall base with air movers and dehumidifiers. Baseboards come off so the wall cavity can dry. We monitor until the slab reads dry.
We treat surge water as category 3. Contaminated carpet and padding come out and get bagged for disposal. We extract, apply antimicrobial solution and disinfectant, and dry the structure with air movers and dehumidifiers. Documentation goes to your carrier the same week.
We pump and extract standing water, remove soaked insulation, and dry the subflooring and joists with directed airflow. A borescope inspection camera confirms hidden moisture is gone before we close the access panel and call the job complete.
$1,200 - $4,500 for most residential jobs; larger or contaminated losses priced after inspection
Typical 2026 pricing for water extraction and drying in Naples runs $1,200 to $4,500 for most residential jobs, with larger or contaminated losses going higher. The number depends on square footage, water category, how many days equipment runs, and whether walls or crawl spaces need drying. We give you the price before we start, and we bill your carrier directly when you file a claim. You are not guessing about cost while water is on your floor.
Fast extraction and proper drying cost less than tearing out and rebuilding a floor, and far less than mold remediation. We document every job for your carrier so the covered portion of the work gets paid instead of coming out of your pocket.
More wet floor means more extraction time, more air movers, and more dehumidifiers. A single bathroom runs far less than a whole ground floor. We measure the wet zone on day one and price from that, not from a guess.
Clean water from a supply line is the cheapest loss to dry. Sewage backups and storm surge are category 3 and require material removal, antimicrobial application, and longer drying. Those jobs cost more because more work is required.
Most jobs run three to five days. Hardwood floors, thick stucco walls, and crawl spaces can take six or more. Equipment runs 24 hours a day, and the daily rate covers the machines, the power draw, and the monitoring visits.
Carpet, padding, baseboards, and soaked insulation often have to come out on contaminated losses. Removal and disposal add cost, but leaving contaminated material in place costs more later in mold remediation and rebuild.
“A supply line let go under our kitchen sink on a Sunday night. They had a crew at the house in about an hour, pulled the water out of the cabinets and floor, and set drying equipment that same visit. Five days later the moisture meter read dry and we had a full report for our insurance. No drama, no surprise charges.”
Maria T.Homeowner, Olde Naples
✓ Verified“We manage several units and have used a few restoration companies. This crew is the only one that shows up when they say they will and sends daily moisture readings without me asking. They dried a third-floor unit after a pipe burst without damaging the ceiling below. That is not easy in a high-rise.”
Derek R.Property Manager, Pelican Bay
✓ Verified“Storm surge pushed water into our ground floor during a fall storm. They extracted everything, cut out the wet baseboards, and dried the walls and tile over four days. They also flagged that our crawl space was still wet and handled that too. Honest about what needed to come out and what could stay.”
Angela M.Homeowner, Royal Harbor
✓ VerifiedMost residential water extraction and drying jobs in Naples run $1,200 to $4,500 in 2026, depending on square footage, water category, and how many days equipment runs. A single-room clean-water loss sits at the low end. Sewage backups, crawl space flooding, and jobs needing wall cavity drying push higher. We give you the number before we start, and we bill carriers directly when you file a claim.
Extraction takes two to four hours on a typical residential job. Drying takes three to five days, sometimes longer for hardwood floors, thick stucco walls, or crawl spaces. We check moisture every 24 hours and pull equipment the day readings hit dry standard. You get a daily update so you always know where the job stands.
Yes, if we reach them within about 24 hours. We use hardwood floor drying mats and controlled air movement to pull moisture out of the boards without causing cupping or crowning. Floors that look ruined often sand and refinish instead of being torn out. If the boards have already buckled, we tell you straight and coordinate replacement.
Every job. Air movers alone just move moisture around the room. Dehumidifiers pull that moisture out of the air so wet materials keep releasing water. We size the dehumidifier count to the cubic footage of the wet zone and run them continuously until the space holds steady humidity. That is the difference between dry and dry-looking.
Water Damage RestorationExtraction and drying is the front half of water damage restoration. Once your structure reads dry, we handle repairs, drywall, paint, and trim so the room looks like nothing happened. One crew from wet floor to finished wall.Explore →
Emergency Water RemovalStanding water needs to come out before drying can start. Our emergency water removal crews run 24/7 with truck-mounted extraction units and sump pumps for deep water. Most Naples calls get a crew on site within 60 to 90 minutes.Explore →
Flood Cleanup and RestorationFloodwater is contaminated water. After extraction, we remove affected materials, apply antimicrobial solution, and dry the structure. Flood cleanup in Naples often follows storm surge or heavy summer rain pushing water through ground-floor doors.Explore →
Storm Damage RestorationNaples storms bring wind-driven rain, roof leaks, and surge flooding in the same event. We tarp, extract, and dry in one mobilization. Storm damage restoration pairs with our drying crews so water does not sit while roof repairs get scheduled.Explore →
Basement Water RemovalNaples basements and lower levels flood from slab leaks, sump failures, and groundwater. We pump the water out, extract what remains, then dry the slab and walls. Moisture meters confirm the space is dry before we close it up.Explore →
Crawl Space Water ExtractionCrawl space flooding is easy to miss and expensive to ignore. We extract standing water, remove soaked insulation, and dry the subflooring and joists. Borescope inspection confirms hidden moisture is gone before we call the job complete.Explore →
Sewage Backup CleanupSewage backups are category 3 water and require full removal of contaminated materials. We extract, bag and dispose of affected carpet and padding, disinfect, and dry. Antimicrobial solution and HEPA vacuum work follow every sewage job.Explore →
Mold RemediationIf drying was delayed, mold can take hold in 24 to 48 hours. Our Florida Mold-Related Services License (MRSA) covers remediation. We contain the area with ZipWall barriers, remove affected material, and clean the space before rebuilding.Explore →Water spreads fast and Naples humidity does not give you a grace period.
