Time is your biggest enemy when dealing with water damage. The longer moisture stays trapped inside walls, flooring, or furniture, the more costly the repairs can become.

That’s why Flood Expert uses state-of-the-art restoration tools, including:

• Thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden moisture
• High-powered air movers and dehumidifiers for rapid drying
• HEPA filtration systems for clean, safe air
• Moisture meters to ensure no dampness remains

Our goal is not just to clean visible damage but to completely restore your home’s environment — safe, dry, and mold-free.

Water removal is just the first step. Many restoration companies stop there — but Flood Expert goes further.

We provide complete restoration and home repair services, which means we not only remove water and dry your property but also rebuild damaged areas to pre-loss condition (or better).

Our in-house team handles:

• Drywall repair and painting
• Flooring replacement
• Insulation and baseboard installation
• Cabinet and trim repair
• Odor and mold treatment

This turnkey approach saves homeowners time, stress, and money — with one trusted company handling everything from start to finish.

Navigating insurance claims can be confusing and stressful — especially when you’re already dealing with damage.

Flood Expert helps simplify the process by working directly with your insurance provider.

Our team documents every step of the restoration, including:

• Photos and moisture readings
• Detailed repair estimates
• Inventory of damaged property
• Project completion reports

We ensure your claim is accurate, properly filed, and processed as quickly as possible — so you get the compensation you deserve without unnecessary delays.

At Flood Expert, we don’t consider a job complete until you’re completely satisfied.

We believe in transparency, open communication, and delivering results that exceed expectations. Our technicians explain each step of the process, provide honest timelines, and treat your home as if it were their own.

That’s why so many of our clients in Lorton, Tysons Corner, and Fairfax refer their friends and neighbors to us — because they’ve experienced firsthand what true customer care looks like.

While every home is different, we see a few recurring causes of water damage throughout Northern Virginia and the D.C. area:

1. Burst or Leaking Pipes – Often due to aging plumbing or freezing winter temperatures
2. Appliance Malfunctions – Dishwashers, washing machines, or water heaters leaking unnoticed
3. Roof Leaks and Storm Damage – Especially common in heavy rain or wind events
4. Sewage Backups – Caused by clogged drains or municipal system overloads
5. Basement Flooding – Poor drainage or sump pump failure during storms
6. HVAC and Condensation Leaks – Moisture buildup inside ducts or walls

Regardless of the cause, Flood Expert’s team is trained to handle every type of water-related disaster — quickly and efficiently.

Every restoration project at Flood Expert follows a clear, step-by-step system designed to maximize results and minimize stress for homeowners.

Once we arrive on-site, we perform a full damage assessment using moisture meters and thermal imaging. This helps us understand the full extent of the damage — visible and hidden.

We use commercial-grade pumps and vacuums to remove standing water immediately. This stops further spreading and limits secondary damage.

Our industrial air movers and dehumidifiers work 24/7 to dry walls, flooring, and furniture. We monitor progress daily to ensure your property is thoroughly dry.

We clean all affected surfaces to remove contaminants and odors, ensuring your space is safe and hygienic again.

Finally, we repair, repaint, and rebuild — returning your home to its original beauty and comfort.

As a locally rooted company, Flood Expert believes in giving back to the same communities we serve.

We participate in:
