Water damage on Miami Beach can start with a failed pipe in a unit upstairs, wind-driven rain through a window or street flooding at the ground floor.
Because Miami Beach is a barrier island, flood water from a king tide or a heavy storm can come from the street or the canal, which is treated differently from clean water from a supply line. Tell us the water source when you call so the plan starts correctly.
In condo towers and hotels along Collins Avenue and in the older buildings of South Beach, water often passes through shared walls and ceilings, so the association and building management are usually part of the process. We help document the damage, dry the affected areas and give you a written scope of work you can share with them and your insurer.
Miami Beach is a barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay, so salt air, tidal flooding in low streets and heavy tropical rain all meet buildings that are often decades old. In Miami Beach we work with mid-rise and high-rise condominiums, Art Deco and mid-century buildings in South Beach, canal-front single-family homes on the Venetian Islands and Sunset Islands, and hotels and apartments along Collins Avenue.
Areas we serve include South Beach, Mid-Beach, North Beach, Sunset Islands, Venetian Islands and Collins Avenue, and we also help property owners in nearby Surfside, Bal Harbour, Miami, Sunny Isles Beach and Key Biscayne. Miami Beach is in Miami-Dade County, about 33 miles from our Deerfield Beach office at 1805 S Powerline Rd. Tell us your address when you call and we will confirm timing.
No two losses are alike. The key factors are the volume of water, its category (clean supply water, used water from appliances, or contaminated water such as sewage), how long materials remained wet, which materials were affected and how much rebuilding is required. A fair price cannot be quoted without viewing the damage, so request a written estimate after an inspection and ask what it covers.
Coverage for water damage varies by policy. Sudden, accidental events are often covered, while slow leaks and seepage frequently are not, and flooding usually calls for a separate flood policy. Report the loss promptly, save photos and receipts and request a written scope of work. Whether a claim is covered is up to your insurer.
It can. Flood water that comes in from the street or from a canal is treated differently from a clean supply-line leak, because it can carry contamination. Tell us what kind of water it was when you call so the plan starts correctly.
We can help with the affected unit. Because the source is often another unit or a shared pipe, the building management and insurers are usually involved, so photographs and a written scope of work help.
Mold may start growing on damp materials in 24 to 48 hours, which is why fast water removal and drying are important.
Often it is, particularly when water is removed and materials are dried promptly. Certain materials, such as soaked insulation or carpet padding, generally must be replaced.
