Flood cleanup and mold removal in Edgewater, 33137
Edgewater is one of the most repeatedly flooded neighborhoods in Miami during heavy rain, and the older homes behind the bayfront towers take that water at floor level, where wet drywall can turn to mold within days.
People along North Bayshore Drive and the side streets toward NE 4th Avenue know the pattern. A downpour fills the streets, city crews bring pumps, and the next storm brings the water back.

Yes, we cover all of Edgewater, from NE 17th Street up to NE 37th Street and from the railway to the bay. Our most common jobs here are flood cleanup in ground-floor homes and units, the mold that follows that water, and leaks inside the high-rise towers. Call (786) 947-0034 any time to reach a crew.
Bay towers in front, old homes behind
Edgewater is mostly residential. High-rise towers line the bay, newer mid-rise and high-rise buildings keep going up, and the blocks behind them still hold many historic homes from the early 20th century.
Those two kinds of housing fail differently. The towers bring stacked-unit leaks and AC closet overflows. The older homes take water at floor level when the streets flood, and then wet drywall, baseboards and flooring have to come out before the walls can dry.
Flooding that keeps coming back
Heavy rain turned roads in and around Edgewater into rivers on April 12, 2023. On June 12, 2024, city crews cleared storm drains and pumped out low-lying blocks. In June 2025, the city set a temporary pump at North Bayshore Drive and NE 18th Street, and one resident said the flooding comes every year.
On September 10, 2025, streets were under several inches of standing water again. The city's Edgewater flood project, about $40.85 million with a new pump station, covers 816 properties along NE 22nd and 23rd Streets and NE 4th Avenue, with construction expected from September 2026 to early 2028.
How we handle an Edgewater flood call
Floodwater from the street is treated as contaminated, so we extract it, pull wet carpet and pad, and make flood cuts in drywall above the wet line. The exposed framing and slab are then cleaned, treated with antimicrobial and dried with air movers and dehumidifiers.
In the towers, we work with management on elevator and dock access. In the older homes, we scan behind baseboards and under cabinets with a thermal camera, because water wicks up a wall well past what you can see. If mold has started, we contain the room and remove it, and any testing is arranged through an independent assessor.

Will the Edgewater flood project stop my street from flooding?
It is meant to help. The city's project adds a stormwater pump station for 816 properties around NE 22nd and 23rd Streets and NE 4th Avenue, with construction expected from September 2026 to early 2028. Until it is finished, expect more flooded streets in heavy rain.
Water came in under my Edgewater front door. Can the drywall be saved?
Usually not where it got wet. Street floodwater is Category 3, and the EPA advises discarding wet wallboard and insulation that cannot be dried and cleaned. We cut at a clean line above the wet mark so the rest of the wall stays.
Do you also handle condo leaks in Edgewater towers?
Yes. Leaks from AC drain lines, water heaters and supply hoses in the unit above are common in the bayfront towers. We coordinate with management to find the source and dry your unit at the same time.
How fast should I call after an Edgewater flood?
As soon as the water stops coming in. The EPA advises drying wet materials within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold, and Edgewater's humid air will not do that for you. Phones are answered 24/7 at (786) 947-0034.
