Florida water damage guides

Plain-language guides to water damage and what comes after it

Sunshine Water Damage explains what a water loss does to a Florida building, what the restoration trade actually does about it, what a homeowners policy covers and excludes, and how the work goes in six cities. We are a publication, not a contractor: we do not carry out restoration work, quote for it, or pass anyone’s details to a company that does.
