Flood and mold remediation in Dania Beach, 33004

Dania started as a farming settlement called Modello and became the Town of Dania in 1904, taking the name Dania Beach in 1998. Annexations in 2001 added about 3,600 residents, so the city now mixes century-old street grids with newer apartment and condo buildings.

Fewer than half of the homes here, about 46.8 percent in 2024, are lived in by their owners. That changes how a job starts. A renter can call us, but the landlord or property manager usually signs off on the work, so we photograph each room and record moisture readings that both sides can use.

When Eta came through in November 2020, one owner on a block of SW 31st Avenue just north of Griffin Road found about three and a half inches of water inside each of his five houses, with the sewer out and backyards underwater for three days. The county's transportation planners also list SW 43rd Terrace and SW 54th Street as streets prone to flooding.

Not every flood comes from outside. In November 2019, water from the pool above The Place at Dania Beach leaked into the building, damaging 30 apartments on the sixth and seventh floors. It was the second time in just over a month, and about 200 residents had to leave.

Street water and sewage are treated as contaminated. Carpet, pad and drywall below the wet line come out, the framing and slab are cleaned and treated, and air movers and dehumidifiers run until our meters show the materials are dry. Clean water from a broken supply line is different, and usually most of what it soaked can stay and be dried.

Where mold has already started, we set up plastic containment and negative air before cutting anything, so spores stay in the work area. If you want lab testing or a clearance check afterward, it is set up with an independent assessor, in line with Florida's rules on mold work.

Dania Beach sits between Fort Lauderdale to the north and Hollywood to the south, with Davie to the west and the airport on its northern edge. Our crews cover all three of those cities and Hallandale Beach on the same routes.

If a regional storm ties up every Kelda crew at once, the call is routed to another trusted local restoration provider nearby, and the water still gets pulled out quickly.
