Water damage restoration in Fort Lauderdale

It depends on where the leak started and on your association's declaration. Under Florida's condominium statute, the association's master policy generally covers the building structure, while the unit owner's HO-6 policy covers items like floor, wall, and ceiling coverings, cabinets, and appliances inside the unit. We record the source, the moisture readings, and the affected materials for each unit so every adjuster gets the same facts.

Usually not. Rising water from outside, including storm surge and street flooding, is typically covered only by a separate flood policy such as one through the National Flood Insurance Program. Water that comes in through a storm-damaged roof or window is often handled differently. Check your declarations page, and call us either way; the cleanup steps are the same.

Not always. Tile on a slab is often saved. The question is what is underneath and around it: wet baseboards, drywall, and cabinet toe-kicks usually need attention, and grout lines can hold water against the slab. We take readings first and only remove material that will not dry in place.

Yes. On multi-unit losses we coordinate access with management, work through the affected units in order, and provide documentation that separates each unit from the common elements.
