In South Florida, water damage is more than just a possibility—it’s a regular concern. From summer hurricanes to burst pipes and mold infestations, homes in Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, Hallandale Beach, and Dania Beach are constantly exposed to moisture threats. That’s why Red’s Restoration exists: to respond fast, restore effectively, and help you understand exactly what to expect during the recovery process.
Here are the most common questions we hear from homeowners—answered by our licensed restoration experts.
Q1: What Should I Do Immediately After Discovering Water Damage?
📌 Answer: First, stop the water source if possible (turn off the main valve). Then, call a professional restoration company immediately. The longer water sits, the greater the damage. Mold can begin growing within 24–48 hours.
Red’s Restoration offers 24/7 emergency response for all of Broward County.
Q2: Will My Insurance Cover Water Damage Repairs?
📌 Answer: Most homeowner’s policies cover sudden and accidental water damage (like pipe bursts or appliance failures), but not flooding from rising water unless you have separate flood insurance.
We work directly with your insurance adjuster and help document damage for faster claims. Learn more about FEMA’s flood insurance guidelines here.
