Swiftly Responding to Fort Lauderdale Floods: Storm Damage Restoration and Repair

In April, Fort Lauderdale residents faced an unexpected challenge as heavy rainfall led to widespread flooding. The aftermath left many homeowners with properties inundated by up to five inches of water.

As the top storm damage restoration and cleanup team in Miami and South Florida, PuroClean of Downtown Miami received an overwhelming response, with more than 40 distress calls pouring in during the initial two days of the downpour. We wasted no time answering every call and were able to provide top-of-the-line emergency service to everyone who needed it.

Turning the Tide With Storm Damage Restoration

We recognized the urgency of the situation and understood that prompt intervention was crucial to preventing further damage. Homeowners were understandably distraught, so our first priority was to ease their concerns and assure them that help was on the way.

The restoration process began with extracting excess water from the affected properties. Our team used state-of-the-art equipment to efficiently remove the water and create a dry foundation for the subsequent steps. To ensure thorough mitigation, we adopted a multistep approach:

1. Flood Cuts. We carefully inspected each property and identified areas where the floodwaters had compromised materials. In response, we executed two-foot flood cuts across all affected materials. This strategic measure enabled us to remove the weakened sections and expose the structure behind the materials, facilitating drying.
2. Deployment of Equipment. We positioned dehumidifiers and air movers throughout the affected areas to expedite drying. Proper air circulation, dehumidification, and high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) certified air filters are essential to prevent mold growth and structural damage caused by lingering moisture.
3. Air Quality Restoration. Ensuring the safety and health of homeowners was paramount. Our team focused on cleaning the air within the affected properties, eliminating moisture and contaminants that could pose health risks to inhabitants.

In many cases, our team meticulously distinguished between salvageable and non-salvageable contents. Salvageable items were cleaned, saved, and stored, while non-salvageable items were discarded. This process required the efforts of three to four crew members who demonstrated care and compassion throughout.

Thanks to our dedicated team and our collaboration with the Fort Lauderdale property owners, we completed the storm damage repair and cleanup process in a timely manner during April. The rapid response and diligent restoration ensured that our team remediated the affected properties to a safe and habitable state.

Throughout this entire endeavor, storm safety remained our top priority. We understand the importance of safeguarding both property and lives during and after natural disasters. Our team took every precaution to address potential hazards, prevent further damage, and provide homeowners with the necessary peace of mind.
