Water damage moves fast — and your response needs to be faster. Whether from a burst pipe, broken appliance, or Florida storm surge, the first 60 minutes after water exposure are critical.

At Water Damage Repair Services of Hollywood FL, we specialize in flood cleanup, structural drying, and mold removal across Pembroke Pines, Dania Beach, and Hallandale. We’re IICRC-certified and available 24/7.

Here’s what you should do immediately after water damage:

  1. Shut off the main water valve (if the issue is internal).
  2. Turn off electricity to affected areas.
  3. Call a certified restoration team — don’t try to dry it with fans alone.
  4. Avoid contact with floodwater, especially if it’s from a sewer backup.

We use commercial-grade dehumidifiers, thermal cameras, and antimicrobial treatments to stop mold growth before it starts.

Check the FEMA guide to water damage for more information on what to do before and after flooding.

Don’t wait days — in South Florida’s humidity, mold spores can form in under 24 hours.
