We answer every call with a live person, not an automated system, so you get real help the moment you need it most.

Our Water Damage Restoration Process

Drywizard follows a proven, IICRC-standard restoration process that protects your property and gets your life back to normal as quickly as possible:

1. Emergency Contact and Dispatch
When you call (813) 684-4800, a live operator answers immediately. We dispatch an emergency crew to your Tampa location right away, day or night.

2. Inspection and Assessment
Our certified technicians use state-of-the-art moisture meters and thermal imaging to map the full scope of water damage. We identify the water source, classify the water category, and develop a targeted restoration plan.

3. Water Extraction
Using powerful truck-mounted and portable extraction units, we remove standing water from your property quickly. Fast water removal reduces drying time and prevents secondary damage like warping, swelling, and mold growth.

4. Structural Drying and Dehumidification
We place industrial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers throughout the affected areas. Our team monitors moisture levels daily with precision instruments to ensure complete drying of all structural materials, including drywall, framing, and subfloors.

5. Sanitization and Mold Prevention
Once the area is dry, we sanitize all affected surfaces with antimicrobial treatments. This step eliminates bacteria, prevents mold growth, and ensures your property is safe for occupants to return.

6. Complete Restoration and Repair
From drywall replacement and painting to flooring repairs and reconstruction, we handle every step of the restoration process. Our goal is to return your property to its pre-damage condition, or better.
