Water Recovery, Out of the Canal.

Water Recovery Services
Water Recovery Services Done Right, Across Florida.

Water Recovery Services starts where the pavement ends and the ordinary tow truck gives up. Imperial Towing carries the winches, rigging, and hard-earned judgment to pull it off, and we’ve done it across Brevard’s beaches, canals, and back roads for 28 years.
Vehicle in a retention pond, canal, or the surf? We have the gear to bring it up. What sets our water recovery apart is submerged-vehicle retrieval from canals/ponds/surf, water-extraction rigging, Florida canal country reality. We bring purpose-built recovery gear for the spot a normal wrecker can not reach and an operator who has run this exact job hundreds of times, so your situation is routine to us even when it feels like a crisis to you.
How Imperial handles water recovery
Call us and you get a real person, any hour. We ask what you’re driving, where you are, and what happened, then we roll the truck built for water recovery, not whatever unit happens to be closest. Our operator walks you through every step and keeps your property protected the whole way, because a fast job that leaves damage behind is not a job well done.
We started in a body shop, went over the road for 9/11, and came home to build a towing and recovery operation that still answers to the same family. That continuity is why drivers who ended up somewhere a tow truck normally can not follow keep our number: the people who pick up the phone are the people responsible for the truck, and we stand behind every water recovery call we take.
Straight talk, straight pricing
One thing that keeps drivers who ended up somewhere a tow truck normally can not follow coming back for water recovery is that we tell you what it costs before we roll, not after. Pricing depends on the vehicle, the distance, and what the job actually involves, so we ask the right questions up front and give you a real number. No mystery fees bolted on at the end, no pressure, no games. For repeat and commercial work we can set up an account so the price is settled before the next call even happens.
Why drivers who ended up somewhere a tow truck normally can not follow call us
- 24/7 dispatch: day, night, holidays, and through every Florida storm.
- Certified operators: trained and badged for Patrick SFB and Kennedy Space Center.
- The right gear for water recovery: purpose-built recovery gear for the spot a normal wrecker can not reach.
- Straight pricing: a real number before we roll, no surprises on the bill.
- 28 years local: the City of Melbourne contract plus police and municipal work countywide.
The right equipment, kept ready
Equipment is half of any water recovery job, and we take ours seriously. We run purpose-built recovery gear for the spot a normal wrecker can not reach, and we keep every truck serviced and staged so a breakdown on our end never becomes a breakdown on yours. When the call comes in, the unit that rolls out is the right tool for your exact situation, not whatever happened to be free. That is the difference between a company that owns its fleet and a dispatch number that farms the job out to whoever bids lowest.
It also means we can adapt on the fly. Plenty of water recovery calls turn out to be something other than what the caller expected, a bigger vehicle, a tighter spot, a complication nobody saw coming. Because our operators have handled this work for years and carry the gear to match, a surprise on scene is a problem we solve, not a reason to leave and come back with a different truck. You lose no time, and your vehicle stays protected the entire way.
Brevard-based, Florida-wide
Our home is the Space Coast, and our operators run these roads every week, from Titusville down to Palm Bay, across Merritt Island and the beaches, out to Viera and Rockledge. That local knowledge shaves real minutes off arrival on a water recovery call. And when the job runs heavy or long-distance, we don’t stop at the county line, our wreckers and lowboys travel the entire state of Florida, from Orlando and Daytona to the Treasure Coast and beyond.
