Companies performing water extraction and structural drying services.
Market snapshot
These figures describe Restoration & Disaster Recovery (5.3.11), the segment that Water & Flood Restoration sits within. They are not figures for Water & Flood Restoration on its own.
Not separately sized. Restoration work is split between remediation contractors and the specialty trades that rebuild afterwards, with no classification spanning both. Demand is event-driven and insurance-funded, which decouples it from the construction cycle entirely. The segment grows on storm frequency and claims severity, not on building starts.
