Emergency Restoration in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Quick answer: 911 Restoration of Miami provides 24/7 restoration in Fort Lauderdale. From April 12 to 13, 2023, the National Weather Service recorded more than 20 inches of rain near the airport. Call (305) 744-0810 for a typical 45-minute arrival.

Storm Damage Restoration in Miami →What Damages Property in Fort Lauderdale
The National Weather Service reported rain from midday on April 12 to around midnight on April 13, 2023, with amounts in excess of 20 inches near and around the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood airport. The heaviest rainfall of the event was in Broward County.
Rain at that volume overwhelms drains and canals and pushes water into buildings from every side. Once water is inside a home or a ground-floor business, drywall, insulation, cabinets and flooring start absorbing it, so extraction and drying need to begin quickly, and anything that stayed wet in contaminated water usually has to be removed.
How We Handle Losses in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale sits low along the New River and a network of canals and inland waterways. Extreme rain, tropical storm surge and wind, and storm drains that back up are the conditions that damage property here, and ground-floor units and homes take water across the whole floor. After any flood, wet materials need to come out and the structure must be cleaned and dried before rebuilding.
Mold usually follows water in Fort Lauderdale homes. A slow leak inside a wall, an air conditioning drain line that backs up, or a room that stays damp through a humid season can grow mold within days. We contain the area, remove affected materials, HEPA clean, and correct the moisture source. After a fire, we board up, remove the water used to put the fire out, clean soot, and treat smoke odor in ductwork and wall cavities so it does not return. Storm calls in Fort Lauderdale usually mean roof tarping, board-up, and drying ceilings and walls after wind-driven rain. Every job is documented with photos and daily moisture readings, which your adjuster can review and which show when the structure is actually dry.
