Salt eats fittings out here. That's the short version of why a barrier island produces the losses it does — corroded supply lines under Deco-era sinks off Espanola Way, condensate pans soaking a ceiling for weeks before anyone notices. A riser failure in a Collins Avenue tower doesn't stay on one floor either.
Then there's water that shows up on a clear day. King tides still push into the low blocks off Indian Creek and along Alton, raised roads and half a billion in pumps notwithstanding. We work the way buildings here operate: engineer on the phone, COI on file before the freight elevator, gear staged so a rental unit isn't dark long.
Working inside Miami Beach condo buildings
My building wants a certificate of insurance first. Can you handle that?
Yes, that's routine here. Send us management's requirements and we'll sort the COI and elevator access with your building engineer.
Water came in on a king tide, not from a pipe. Is that still your work?
It is. Extraction, drying and mold prevention don't change with the source. The insurance side does — tidal intrusion often falls under a flood policy rather than your HO-6, so we document it from the start.
