Water Damage Restoration in Fort Lauderdale

Look for a local company that's licensed and insured, answers the phone quickly, and gives you a written estimate before starting work. Check Google reviews for recent, specific ones. Watch out for door-to-door offers after storms, prices that seem too low, or anyone who won't put a price in writing.

Sudden water damage from burst pipes, appliance failures, and roof leaks is usually covered by Florida homeowners policies. Flood damage from outside water sources needs separate flood insurance. Slow leaks or long-term damage are often excluded. Every policy is different, so call your insurance company to be sure.

Standard drying takes 3 to 5 days for most homes, but Fort Lauderdale humidity can extend that. Clean water dries fastest. Gray water and black water take longer because of sanitization. We'll give you a real timeline after we see the damage

Clean water is from supply lines or rainwater easiest to clean up. Gray water is from washing machines, dishwashers, or minor sewage needs sanitization. Black water is from sewage backups, flooding, or contaminated sources often requires removing porous materials for safety.

Shut off the water source if it's safe. Turn off electricity to affected areas at the breaker. Move valuables and personal belongings to a dry area. Take photos and video of everything before you touch it. Don't try to rip up flooring or drywall yourself.
