Two very different housing stocks share one long parkway here, and the water damage looks different on each end. East of I-95 you've got CBS ranch houses from the late 50s and 60s with original cast iron waste lines and galvanized supply — those fail slowly, staining a terrazzo slab or a baseboard for weeks before anyone calls. Out west, past Red Road and toward SW 172nd, the 90s and 2000s communities hide polybutylene and early CPVC behind drywall, and those let go all at once. Different failure, different drying plan.
Southwest Broward drains into the C-9 and C-11 canals, which held up fine until June 2024 put water into houses that had never taken any. If your street was part of that, we treat the intrusion as contaminated, not clean. Office and flex space around the Miramar Park of Commerce gets its own approach — after-hours extraction so nobody loses a workday.
The county line matters more than people expect
My HOA says I need approval before anything gets torn out. Does that stall the job?
No. Emergency extraction and drying equipment don't wait on a board. What the HOA can weigh in on is exterior work and finish materials during rebuild, so we document conditions heavily on day one and give you the moisture readings and photos your management company will ask for.
Do permits go through Miami-Dade since you're based in Hialeah?
They don't. Miramar is Broward County, so permits pull through the City of Miramar and Broward — separate product-approval nuances from Miami-Dade even though both sit in the high-velocity hurricane zone. We file on the Broward side for work here.
