Storm damage in Miami? Close the building up first, sort out the rest after.
Wind-driven rain finds the smallest opening and puts water rooms away from the breach. We board up or tarp the opening to stop more water coming in, trace where the water actually traveled, remove what can't be saved, and dry the rest to a measured standard.
Close the building up first. Everything else follows.
Most policies ask you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage after a loss, and in a storm that means closing the opening and getting the water out. That's the work below. It's emergency work.
Emergency board-up & tarping
Temporary measures to close an opening and stop further water entering: board-up of broken openings and tarping over a damaged area. It's emergency protection, and the permanent work goes to a licensed roofer or contractor.
Debris removal & cleanup
Storm debris, wet contents and materials cleared out of the wet rooms so drying can start and the space is safe to walk through.
Intrusion tracing
Where you see the stain is rarely where the water came in. Thermal imaging follows the path along framing and pipe runs back to the real entry point.
Ceiling and cavity drying
Saturated ceiling assemblies and wall cavities dried from inside where the material class allows it, rather than removed by default.
Water removal
We pull the water out and dry once the building is closed up. Drying an open building is throwing equipment hours away.
Post-storm mold prevention
After a storm, growth begins in 24 to 48 hours in this climate. Getting an assembly dry inside that window is the whole point of calling early.
Flood & surge cleanup
Groundwater and surge are contaminated water. Anything porous comes out, what stays is cleaned and disinfected, then we dry the structure.
Documented for your claim
Entry point, path, affected materials and daily readings recorded. Storm claims turn on how the water got in, so that's documented specifically.
Get your property on file before a name is on the map
Every June we visit properties to set up a response plan for the season. It costs nothing. We record how to reach you, how to get in, where the shut-offs are, and what matters most inside. If a storm lands, we aren't collecting that while you stand in water. It's a readiness visit rather than a building inspection. For advice on the roof, windows or drainage themselves, you want a licensed roofer or engineer, and we'll say so.
Registered properties are called first after a named storm
Shut-off locations, access instructions and priority areas recorded
Access details and certificates of insurance already on file for your association
