General information only
The guides, articles and answers on this Site are general information for homeowners and businesses in Polk County. They are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a qualified technician.
Independent service partners
The crew that answers your call in Lakeland is a licensed, local company that is independent of Lakeland Water Damage Restoration. Lakeland Water Damage Restoration takes the call around the clock and connects you with that company, which does the work and sets its own estimate. Its license number is given on request, by phone, to anyone who asks. It is not printed on this site because it is that company's private business information, and this site does not publish private license details.
Most of the service area sits outside the city limits, so repair permits there come from Polk County's building division rather than the city's. Ask for the license number when you call, look it up on DBPR's license search, and ask which permits your job needs. Calls peak from June through September, when most of the year's rain falls, and a crew is dispatched as fast as one is available.
Call and ask for the license number (833) 490-5225

Prices are estimates
Price ranges are typical estimates for our service area in 2026. They are not quotes or offers. Your price is confirmed in person before any work starts.
Safety around water damage
Standing water can hide live electrical circuits: do not walk into a flooded room until power to that area is off. Sewage and floodwater (IICRC Category 3) can carry bacteria and viruses; keep children, pets and anyone with a weak immune system away, and do not handle contaminated materials without protection. Visible mold larger than a small patch should be assessed before anyone disturbs it. When in doubt, leave the area and call a professional.
Licensing, standards and insurance
Repair and reconstruction work in Florida is regulated by that state's contractor licensing board. The IICRC S500 (water damage) and S520 (mold remediation) standards are industry guidance, not government licenses. Insurance coverage is decided by your insurer under your policy; nothing on this Site is a promise of coverage or of a claim outcome, and information here is a summary, not legal or insurance advice.
