Florida Context

Understanding the unique challenges of our local water table.

Understanding Below-Grade Water Damage in Florida

Florida's high water table and humid climate create a "perfect storm" for basement and crawl space issues. Unlike northern basements that may dry naturally, Florida's below-grade spaces act as moisture sponges.

Even a small amount of standing water can lead to rapid microbial growth within 24-48 hours. Our specialized equipment is calibrated specifically for Florida's atmospheric conditions to ensure a complete structural dry-out.

What to do when your basement floods?

1

Shut Off Power Immediately

Water and electricity are a lethal combination. If your breaker box is in the flooded area, do not enter. Call your utility company first.

2

Stop the Water Source

If it's a burst pipe, turn off the main water valve. If it's storm flooding, focus on safety and evacuation if necessary.

3

Document for Insurance

Before cleanup begins, take photos and videos of the water level and damaged items. This is crucial for your claim.

4

Call Paramount Restoration

Time is the enemy. Call (786) 602-2217 for emergency extraction to prevent mold setting in.

warning The Hidden Dangers

Structural Analysis

Hydrostatic Pressure

Water pressure builds outside walls, forcing moisture through concrete pores.

Foundation Cracks

Water seepage erodes soil support, leading to settling and major structural cracks.

Airborne Spores

Damp air circulates upward, spreading mold spores to living areas above.

"Saved our wood floors after the storm"

"I thought our entire first floor was a goner after the crawl space flooded and wicked up the walls. Paramount got here in under an hour with huge fans and pumps. They handled the insurance directly, and we didn't have to replace the hardwood. Incredible service."

Frequently Asked Questions

Does homeowners insurance cover flood cleanup? expand_more
It depends on the source. "Flood" insurance typically covers rising water from outside (storms), while standard policies often cover sudden internal issues like burst pipes. We work directly with your adjuster to maximize your coverage entitlement and handle the billing for you.
How long does the drying process take? expand_more
Most residential drying projects take between 3 to 5 days. However, dense materials like hardwood or concrete in basements may require specialized heating equipment and take slightly longer. We monitor moisture levels daily to ensure it's truly dry.
Can you save my wood floors if they got wet? expand_more
Often, yes! If we can begin the extraction and drying process within the first 24 hours using our injectable drying mats and industrial dehumidifiers, we can often draw the moisture out before the wood permanently warps or cups.
Is the mold dangerous right away? expand_more
Mold spores are always present, but active colonies begin to form within 24-48 hours of water exposure. This is why immediate removal of standing water and humidity control is critical to preventing a hazardous environment.
