Heavy Rain Damages Homes in Pembroke Pines?

5/30/2023 (Permalink)

We are leaders in storm damage restoration services in Broward County!

Last month Pembroke Pines experienced record-breaking rainfall when over 25 inches of rain fell in Broward County in one day. Our local Pembroke Pines and West Miramar teams were on hand to respond to storm damage emergencies. Here are some helpful tips from the Insurance Information Institute to keep your home protected from unwanted water:

You can prevent water from entering your home by inspecting your home’s exterior for any place where water can enter the home and making repairs as needed.

• Caulk and seal windows
• Inspect the roof for missing and aging shingles
• Check your rain gutters and remove any debris that may be clogging them
• Check your downspouts and clear any clogs and make sure they are draining away from the house
• Gutter guards are a good way to prevent clogs and water intrusion into the house
• Check your sprinkler systems and make sure they are not spraying water into the house and that water is not pooling around the home’s foundation
• Make sure water drains away from the structure
• Water is invasive and will find its way into a structure easily when water is allowed to pool around the foundation. After a storm, or when the ground is already saturated by rainwater, the water may enter into the foundation wall through any cracks.

Flash Flood Warning Issued for Hollywood?

We restore storm damage 24 hours a day in Broward County!

Last month the National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning for many parts of Broward County, including Pembroke Pines, Hollywood, and Miramar. The NWS warning warned that flash flooding could impact small creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses, and poor drainage and low-lying areas.

Our local Pembroke Pines and West Miramar teams respond to flood damage emergencies throughout the year and offer these tips from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for preparing for a thunderstorm:

Know Your Risk
Know your area’s risk for thunderstorms. In most places, they can occur year-round and at any hour. Sign up for your community’s warning system. The Emergency Alert System (EAS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio also provide emergency alerts.

Strengthen Your Home
Cut down or trim trees that may be in danger of falling on your home. Consider buying surge protectors, lightning rods, or a lightning protection system to protect your home, appliances, and electronic devices.

Make an Emergency Plan
Create an emergency plan so that you and your family know what to do, where to go, and what you will need to protect yourselves from the effects of a thunderstorm. Identify sturdy buildings close to where you live, work, study and play.

Our Pembroke Pines and West Miramar team is a top choice for mold mitigation and removal services because we are licensed by the State of Florida to both identify the types of mold and perform mold restoration services. Here is a Google review from one of our many happy mold removal customers:

“I am not one to write reviews but the service I received was beyond all expectations. Marlene came out to provide a quote the next day after I called at 10 pm the night before. She was extremely knowledgeable and professional. My wife and I found mold in our home and were concerned about the cost to get the remediation done. Marlene ensured us she wouldn't keep it above a certain price and kept her word. Within the next couple of days the crew chief Rene Garcia came out with Gilbert to start the work. They both went above and beyond to not damage our countertops, taped everything off perfectly, and even salvaged our tiles. He kept me up to date with everything that was happening on-site. Thank you all for the work you have and I cannot recommend them enough.” Ian G.

Roof Damaged by Clogged Rain Gutters in Pembroke Pines?

4/25/2023 (Permalink)

We are leaders in water damage restoration services in Broward County!

Our Pembroke Pines and West Miramar team responds to storm and water damage emergencies 24 hours a day. After it rains, it is a good idea to inspect your rain gutters for signs of water damage. Here are some tips from expert Bob Villa for determining if your rain gutters are damaged:

Inspect your rain gutters for visible signs of cracking. Use binoculars to inspect for smaller cracks. If you see extensive cracking, replacement is required.

Inspect gutter seams for damage where two horizontal sections meet.

Inspect your home’s paint job. If there is evidence of paint peeling, it may point to rain gutter failure. Check the section of the rain gutter closest to the paint damage for leaks. If there are more than a couple of leaks, you may want to replace the rain gutters.

Inspect your home’s exterior wood elements for rotting windowsills or door jambs. You may have clogged rain gutters or inadequate storm drainage.

Inspect the exterior of the home for mildew damage. If there is moisture accumulating around or near the foundation, mildew can grow. This is a sign your rain gutters are not working properly.
