Water damage in Plantation: what we see
Plantation began as a planned town in the late 1940s, and its eastern half still looks the part: large lots, canals, and homes from the 1950s through the 1970s under a heavy tree canopy. West of University Drive, Jacaranda and the neighborhoods beyond it came later, mostly as golf and lake communities.
The trees are part of the water story here. Limbs come down on roofs in storms, leaves clog gutters and the drains on flat roof sections, and roots work their way into old drain lines. Add original cast-iron plumbing and decades of remodeling, and many Plantation leaks start somewhere you cannot see.
Older homes here have often been renovated more than once, so one wall may be original plaster and the next new drywall over furring strips. Each dries at a different rate. We take readings on every affected surface and track them separately until each one is back to normal.
Start with the water damage restoration process, or call (954) 289-0566 and we'll tell you when a crew can be there.
Local buildings
Plantation properties and how they get wet
-
Mid-century homes east of University Drive
Plantation Gardens, Country Club Estates, and Plantation Golf Estates are mostly single-story block homes from the 1950s through the 1970s on large, shaded lots, many with Florida-room additions and original drain lines.
-
Canal-front homes in Plantation Isles
Plantation Isles homes sit on canals with boat access to the ocean. Backyards end at a seawall, and in long storms water can collect against the back of the house and reach sliding doors at floor level.
-
Golf and lake communities in the west
Jacaranda, Hawks Landing, and the subdivisions around them are newer one- and two-story homes, many on lakes, with air handlers in attics and closets and long irrigation runs around the house.
-
55+ condos and townhomes
Lauderdale West is a 55+ community of condominiums and townhomes. Shared walls and roofs mean a single leak often involves a neighbor and the association as well as the owner.
Common causes
What causes most water damage in Plantation
- 01
Root intrusion and cast-iron drain failures
In the older eastern neighborhoods, corrosion and tree roots crack original drain lines. The early warning is a slow drain or a sewer smell; the next step is often a backup into a tub or shower.
- 02
Roof leaks under the canopy
Leaves and seed pods pile up in roof valleys, gutters, and flat-roof drains, and water backs up under shingles and tile. Falling limbs during storms crack tiles and puncture roof decking.
- 03
Florida-room and addition tie-ins
Rooms added onto older homes often have low-slope roofs joined to the original roofline. That joint is a common entry point for rain, usually showing up as a stain where the addition meets the house.
- 04
AC overflows in newer two-story homes
West of University Drive, condensate lines from attic and closet air handlers clog with algae and debris. The overflow runs into ceiling drywall and down interior walls, sometimes in a room well away from the unit.

Step 1: You call, we dispatch
We answer 24/7. We walk you through shutting off the water and power to wet areas, then schedule a crew.

This company is absolutely nothing short of amazing! John listens and hears what the needs are and makes sure you feel as important as the next job. They are professional, on time and very catering to the clients needs and time. I have used them for years with 2 different houses. They take the time to walk you through the process and spend time even after in order to make you feel comfortable. They are extremely professional and I feel safe having them in my home. They treated my house as if it was their own. They ensure your family is safe and that is the most important thing. I would highly recommend this company.

These guys are AWESOME. We had a huge flood in our house and they handled everything from packing up our contents, drying out our home and restoring our home like nothing ever happened. They were very professional and brought our home back to normal in the time that they promised and we agreed on. I highly recommend them for all your restoration needs. Cheers

Questions from Plantation property owners
A tree limb came through our roof in a storm and rain got in. What happens first?
Keep everyone out of the affected room and away from sagging ceilings and wet electrical. The opening has to be covered to stop more rain, and then the wet materials need to be dried. Damage from a tree falling in a windstorm is usually treated as sudden damage under a homeowners policy; if it happened in a named hurricane, a separate hurricane deductible usually applies.
Our 1960s house has a stain where the Florida room meets the main house. Is it the roof?
Often, yes. The joint between a low-slope addition roof and the original roof is a common weak point, but a stain there can also come from an AC line or a window. We check the moisture pattern from inside and from the attic before anyone opens the ceiling, and the roof repair itself goes to your roofer.
Roots got into our old drain line and it backed up into the shower. What gets thrown out?
Sewage is Category 3 water, so porous materials it touched, such as carpet, pad, and the lower part of drywall, are removed. Hard surfaces like tile and tubs are cleaned and sanitized. Until a plumber clears the line, avoid running water or flushing, because every gallon adds to the backup.
There is mold on the drywall behind our sink after a slow leak. Can you remove it?
Yes. We inspect for visible growth and moisture, set up containment, remove the affected materials, and clean the area. Florida licenses mold assessors separately from remediators, so when a job calls for post-remediation verification, it is done by an independent licensed mold assessor.
