Water in the house — right now?
What happens when you call
No menus. No sales script. The next 60 seconds, laid out.
A dispatcher picks up
A live person, not a tree. They take your address, ZIP, and a one-line summary of what you're seeing — water source, how long, how big.
Your call routes to a contractor on the network
We match the job to an independent restoration contractor covering your ZIP. You speak with them directly — not with us.
They quote arrival and head to you
The contractor confirms an arrival window and what to do until they get there (shut-offs, what to move, what not to touch). You hang up with a name, a number, and an ETA.
Situations the network handles
If you're looking at any of these, the dispatch line is the right call.
The first 24 hours matter
Water that sits past roughly 24–48 hours starts to push a Category 1 (clean) loss toward Category 2, and a Category 2 toward Category 3. Drywall wicks, padding stays wet under floor coverings, microbial growth begins. Calling early isn't about urgency theatre — it's the difference between drying-in-place and tear-out.
Reference: industry standard IICRC S500 (Standard for Professional Water Damage Restoration). The standard the work follows; not a guarantee about any specific contractor.
Coverage area
Greater Orlando metro. If your ZIP isn't on this list, call anyway — the network covers most of Central Florida.
How this works — plainly
Orlando Flood Response is a referral service. We are not the contractor. When you call the dispatch number, your call routes to an independent restoration company in our network that covers your area. You speak with them directly, they quote you directly, and you hire them directly. We don't take a margin from your job and we don't bill you. The network is paid by the contractor for the connection.
- 1 We are a referral service, not a restoration company.
- 2 The contractor you speak with is independent — not our employee.
- 3 You hire them, not us. Verify their license and insurance before work begins.
- 4 You won't be billed by Orlando Flood Response. The contractor bills you (or your insurer) directly.
