Rain flood and mold cleanup in Hollywood, 33019
Hollywood took 18.16 inches in the April 2023 flood and about 19 inches in June 2024, and its low east-side streets flood on king tides too, so water and mold come back here often.
Hollywood mixes 1920s Mediterranean Revival homes in Hollywood Lakes, postwar concrete-block ranches, beach condo towers and newer houses west of I-95. One storm can soak each of them differently. We deal with the water first, then make sure mold does not take hold in the weeks after.

Yes, our crews cover Hollywood from the condos along the Broadwalk out to the newer homes west of I-95. The work here is mostly rain flooding, king tide water near the Intracoastal, condo leaks and mold that grew after a house stayed wet too long. Call (786) 947-0034 at any hour; a person picks up and sends our team.
Three generations of Hollywood houses
Hollywood was incorporated in November 1925, and Hollywood Lakes still has Mediterranean Revival homes from that first boom, with stucco, barrel tile and older plaster. By 1960 the city counted 12,170 single-family homes, many of them concrete-block ranches that still run on original or patched plumbing.
Beachfront towers bring a different problem, where a leak in one unit travels down to the next. Newer homes west of I-95 have drywall and carpet that soak up water quickly when a storm pushes it under the door.
Rain, tides and the streets that flood first
Low neighborhoods by the Intracoastal get hit from two directions. In October 2016 about two feet of seawater covered roads and driveways around Adams Street and South Lake, and on October 6 2025 king tides flooded Southlake so badly that residents could not get in or out of their street.
Heavy rain does the rest. December 2019 downpours flooded homes east of I-95, and in June 2024 Hayes Street had more than a foot of water. When water stands around a house for hours, it works into thresholds, wall bottoms and floor coverings.
Why mold follows a Hollywood flood
Drywall and baseboards soaked by rain or tide water need to be dried within 24 to 48 hours, or mold becomes likely. In a humid Hollywood summer that window closes fast, so we start extraction and drying on the first visit.
If mold is already growing, we contain the area, remove the damaged material and clean the framing behind it. Any testing or clearance check is done by an independent assessor and lab, which keeps the inspection separate from our removal work.
Cities next door to Hollywood
We also cover Hallandale Beach, Dania Beach, Pembroke Pines, Miramar and Davie. Hollywood Boulevard, Sheridan Street and I-95 connect them, so shifting a crew from one job to the next is quick.
If every one of our own crews is out on a job, we pass the call to another trusted local restoration provider so your home still gets help that night.
Where water and mold start in Hollywood
King tide streets
October 2016 tides left about two feet of seawater on roads and driveways around Adams Street and South Lake.
Southlake cut off
Tides on October 6 2025 flooded the Southlake neighborhood so badly that residents could not drive in or out.
Back-to-back rain floods
18.16 inches fell in April 2023 and about 19 inches in June 2024, when Hayes Street held over a foot of water.
Survivor of 1926
Local papers reported that only Miami lost more than Hollywood in the 1926 hurricane, and homes from that era still stand in Hollywood Lakes.

See the serviceHollywood: questions we hear
King tide water came into my Hollywood garage and laundry room. Is that different from a pipe leak?
Yes. Tide and street water comes from outside and carries whatever it picked up, so it is treated as contaminated. Porous items it soaked, such as drywall bottoms and carpet, usually come out, while clean pipe water can often be dried in place.
How soon can mold start after a Hollywood home floods?
The EPA advises drying wet areas within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold. In Hollywood's summer humidity, materials that stay wet past that point often show growth on the back of drywall and baseboards first. That is why we start drying on day one.
Do you work in older Hollywood Lakes homes with plaster walls?
Yes. Plaster and old wood framing behave differently from newer drywall, so we take readings before deciding what to remove. Where plaster can be dried in place, we leave it and dry it with targeted air flow.
Can you handle a leak in a Hollywood Beach condo tower?
We can. We work with building management on elevator access and hours, check the units below, and document each one separately so the association and each owner have clear records for their own claims.
