Water damage in Miami-Dade, extracted, dried, and documented room by room.
We start pulling the water out as soon as we're on site, the structural drying is calculated rather than guessed, and every reading is written down for your carrier. Houses, condos, and the units around them, across Miami-Dade County.
Our onsite evaluation for water damage is free. We trace how far the water went, take the first readings, and walk you through the plan before anything starts.
Call and book the evaluationSix causes account for most Miami water losses
Burst or failed supply lines
Braided washing-machine hoses, angle stops and toilet supplies. A failed line under pressure moves hundreds of gallons an hour.
A/C condensate overflow
The most common loss we see in South Florida. A blocked drain pan runs quietly into a ceiling for days before it shows.
Water heater failure
Tanks fail at the seam and empty entirely. In a closet or garage that's forty to eighty gallons across the slab.
Upstairs unit leaks
In a high-rise, one unit's leak becomes three units' claim. We scope each unit separately and coordinate with the association.
Sewage backups
Contaminated water, the kind that arrives with sewage or groundwater. Anything that soaked it up comes out, the room stays sealed off while we work, and what stays is cleaned. Not a mop-and-fan job.
Roof and window intrusion
Wind-driven rain travels along framing. Where you see the stain is rarely where the water came in, so we trace it properly.
Seven steps, every job, no shortcuts
The call
We answer any hour, talk you through stopping the water safely, and tell you what we can do and when we can get there.
Inspection and moisture mapping
A thermal camera and a pin meter show us how far the water actually spread, which is almost always further than it looks. Every wet material is recorded with the reading we found it at.
Getting the water out
Portable and weighted machines pull the water out of hard surfaces, carpet, and pad. Removing water mechanically is always faster than evaporating it.
Contents protection
Furniture blocked or moved, rugs, and soft goods removed, electronics and documents handled first. Inventoried with photos as we go.
Controlled demolition, only where needed
Where we can, we dry inside the wall instead of opening it, which saves the drywall. What does have to come out is cut to a clean, repairable line, and we tell you before anything is cut.
Structural drying and daily monitoring
Equipment sized to the water we measured, then a reading taken every day and compared with what that material reads when it's dry. If the numbers say the plan is wrong, the plan changes.
Closing report and handover
Photographs, the daily readings, equipment hours, and scope notes, collected in one file. It goes to you, and to your adjuster whenever you ask us to send it. If a contractor is handling the repair, they get the scope too, so nothing is lost at the handover.
What decides the size of the job
Two rooms with the same puddle can be two very different jobs. These are the five things we look at on the first visit, and they're the same five that decide what the work costs.
How much, and how long
A gallon on tile that sat an hour and a hundred gallons that sat two days are different problems. Time is the part nobody can undo.
What it's made of
Drywall gives water up quickly. Hardwood, plaster, and a concrete slab hold it for days, and each one has its own target.
Where it went
Behind tile, under cabinets, into the wall cavity, along the framing. What you can see is usually the smallest part of it.
Clean or contaminated
Clean supply water can often be dried in place. Water that came through sewage or off the ground means removal, and the room stays sealed while we work.
Access
An occupied bedroom, a high-rise elevator booking, or association rules on work hours all change how the work is staged.
How we know it's dry
A target for each material
On the first visit we record what each wet material reads, and what it should read when it's dry. That second number is the finish line.
A reading every day
Same places, same meters, written down each time. You can watch the numbers come down, and so can your adjuster.
The reading ends the job
When every material is at its target, the equipment comes out. If one room is still wet, that room keeps its equipment and we tell you why.
Water damage questions
How soon can you get here?
We tell you on the call. It depends on where our crew is, and peak traffic on the 826 or a barrier island address makes a real difference, so we'd rather say what we can actually do than quote a number we can't hold to. Staying inside Miami-Dade County is what keeps that answer short. If anything changes, you hear it from us.
Can wet drywall be saved instead of cut out?
Often, yes, on clean water caught early. We dry inside the wall cavity instead of opening it, which the trade calls cavity drying. Water that has run through something dirty, contaminated insulation, or material already showing growth means removal instead. We tell you which case you're in, and why, before anything is cut.
Do I have to leave the equipment running all night?
Yes. Drying stops the moment equipment goes off, and interrupted drying is the single most common reason a job runs long. It's loud, and we'll place units to keep bedrooms as usable as possible, but they need to run continuously.
Should I call you or my insurance company first?
Either order works, but don't wait on us to start. Most policies require you to act promptly to prevent further damage, and delay is a common reason for reduced payment. If you call us first, the water is coming out while the claim is being opened, and you open it with photographs and readings already in hand.
Call and we'll take it from here.
We answer any hour, talk you through the shut-off, and tell you what we can do and when we can get there.
