Water damage cleanup and repair in Miramar, 33023
Miramar got nearly 16 inches from Tropical Storm Eta in November 2020, more than any nearby city, and canals overflowed around homes from the older east side to the newer communities near I-75.
The city started small: A.L. Mailman built its first 56 homes in 1953, and Miramar was incorporated two years later. Today it runs from those early concrete-block streets out to large planned townhome communities near the Everglades edge. We clean up the water and then repair what it ruined, so the house is put back together, not just dried.

From Mailman's first homes to western townhomes
East Miramar holds the oldest housing, mostly concrete-block homes from the 1950s through the 1970s, many with older plumbing and roof coverings. Farther west toward I-75, large planned communities brought townhomes and newer single-family houses with drywall interiors and carpeted upper floors.
About 69 percent of Miramar homes are owner-occupied. In a townhome, a leak that starts in one unit can cross a shared wall into the next, so we check both sides when the neighbor agrees.
Canals, lakes and storm water
Miramar sits on low land laced with drainage canals and lakes, and its western edge lies close to the Everglades. When rain falls faster than those canals can carry it off, streets can disappear under water, as some did during Eta.
Hurricane Irene in October 1999 also dropped 14.85 inches at neighboring West Pembroke Pines. Inside the home, everyday failures add to the list: a split hose behind the washer, a water heater giving out in the garage, or a clogged AC condensate line soaking a hallway ceiling.
Cleanup and repair under one plan
The first visit is about stopping damage: extracting water, removing soaked materials and setting up drying equipment. Once moisture readings say the structure is dry, the same project moves to repair, such as new drywall, baseboards, paint and flooring.
Keeping both phases together means fewer handoffs and a single set of photos and moisture logs for your insurer. If mold turns up when walls are opened, we remove it before any new material goes back in.
Places near Miramar we also cover
We work in Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, West Park, Miami Gardens and Southwest Ranches too. Miramar Parkway, Pembroke Road and the Turnpike tie these places to each other and back to Miami.
Our own crews take the work, and only when all of them are already committed do we pass a call to another trusted local restoration provider, so you are not left on your own.
Where water and mold start in Miramar
Most rain from Eta
Nearly 16 inches fell on Miramar in November 2020, the highest total of any local city in that storm.
Canals over their banks
Eta pushed canals over their banks around homes, and some streets vanished under the water.
Everglades edge
Western Miramar lies near the Everglades on low ground where storm water has few places to go.
Older east side homes
The 1950s to 1970s concrete-block houses in east Miramar often still carry aging plumbing and roof coverings.

See the serviceMiramar: questions we hear
Do you also do the drywall and flooring repairs after water damage in Miramar?
Yes. After the structure is dry, we replace the drywall, baseboards and flooring that had to come out and finish the paint. One crew and one set of records runs from the first extraction to the last coat.
A leak in my Miramar townhome went into my neighbor's unit. Can you look at both?
Yes, with your neighbor's permission. We take readings on both sides of the shared wall, dry both units, and document each one so each owner can deal with their own insurer.
Canal water got into my Miramar house during a storm. What has to be removed?
Canal and street water is treated as contaminated. Carpet, pad and the lower part of soaked drywall usually come out, and hard surfaces are cleaned and treated. Tile and concrete can typically stay once they are cleaned and dry.
Do you serve western Miramar near I-75 as well as the east side?
Yes, the whole city. That includes the older streets in east Miramar and the planned communities toward I-75. Call (786) 947-0034 and tell us your community name or nearest main road.
