Gulf Shores sits about fifty miles from our office on Halls Mill Road in Mobile, and it is the part of this territory with nothing between it and open water. Roughly fifteen thousand people live here year round, but the building stock is mid-rise condominium and vacation rental, which means a large share of the units are empty on any given day. That single fact changes how damage happens. A supply line that lets go in an occupied house gets caught within the hour. The same failure in a rental between guests runs until a neighbour hears it or a cleaner opens the door, and by then the water has been through the floor assembly and into the units below. United Water Restoration Group of Mobile handles water, fire and mold damage across Baldwin County and the beaches, working to IICRC S500 for drying and S520 for mold. Crews drive out from Mobile. We do not keep a storefront on the island, and we would rather say that plainly than imply otherwise. Call (251) 351-8100.

Crews dispatch 24/7 from our Mobile base at 3710 Halls Mill Rd A and cover all of Gulf Shores — one local team, no subcontracted call centers. See all services in Gulf Shores or read more about flood damage cleanup.

Our Process

  1. 1

    Damage Assessment

    Our team arrives promptly to inspect the affected areas, using thermal imaging inspection and moisture mapping to identify saturated materials and hidden moisture. This assessment allows us to develop a strategic action plan tailored to your specific situation and the unique challenges your home faces.

  2. 2

    Water Extraction

    High-efficiency pumps and vacuums remove standing water quickly, minimizing further damage and preventing secondary wicking up walls in vulnerable structures. This step is crucial in preventing the onset of mold and further material degradation.

  3. 3

    Drying and Dehumidification

    Utilizing powerful air movers, low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers, and daily monitoring, we facilitate thorough drying of materials while noting moisture meter readings. Proper control of humidity levels ensures an optimal drying environment, critical in the humid climate of Mobile.

  4. 4

    Sanitization and Deodorization

    Antimicrobial treatments and negative air machines ensure the removal of harmful microbes and eliminate any odors resulting from water exposure, ensuring a safe environment. This step not only restores your home to a hygienic state but also safeguards against potential future health issues.

  5. 5

    Restoration and Repair

    We complete the work with repairs to damaged structures such as drywall, flooring, and cabinetry based on the scope of work agreed upon with your insurance adjuster. Restoration is done meticulously to ensure that your home looks as good as new, providing you with the peace of mind you deserve.

We Work With Your Insurance

Our crews document everything — photos, moisture readings, and a clear scope of work — in the format adjusters expect, and we communicate with your insurance company throughout the job. Gulf Shores homeowners always know what is happening and what their policy covers before work begins.
