What Are the Causes and Concerns of Flooding in Miami?
Hurricanes and tropical storms are part of life in Miami. Unfortunately, these unpredictable weather patterns bring torrential or constant rain, easily overwhelming even the best-protected homes.
According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), flooding leads to more damage in the US than any other type of severe weather event – bypassing hurricanes and extreme winds. And the average cost is steep at $5 billion per year!
Even if not present for long, flood water can weaken your property’s structural integrity and interior, leading to cracks and warping. We’ll get the water out in no time!
Leave your home in a rush? If you haven’t had time to protect your furniture and fixtures, standing water may damage and contaminate all it touches.
Alongside structural and interior damage, electrical problems may worsen your Miami home situation. Not something you’d want to come back to!
Likewise, flooding can overwhelm sensitive sewage lines, as contaminated water may cause severe backups in your home. Smelly and inconvenient for you and your neighbors!
As well as sewage contamination, floodwater often contains invisible and undetectable bacteria, which are harmful to people and pets if ingested or inhaled. This makes it all the more dangerous.
Another hidden hazard? Mold growth. Mold growth is caused by water seeping into walls and ceilings. Even once floodwater dissipates, residual moisture creates the perfect conditions for black mold growth – once again, undetectable and problematic.

Our Extensive Flood Cleanup & Interior Restoration Approach
Because every building is different, we work out a personalized plan of action following our assessment of your property. Most interior restorations and remediations after flood damage follow a similar process.
1. Property Inspection
Our expert team members will visit the property and assess the internal damage.
2. Removal of Flood Water
After residual water is pumped out, we use vacuums and other specialized equipment to remove any remaining standing water and moisture from your home or building. Water may be good at hiding, but we know where to look!
It’s essential to remove every trace of water and moisture before our next step: cleaning and drying.
3. Drying
We install large dryers and dehumidifiers to dry out the interior. Then, we monitor humidity levels using state-of-the-art equipment. Our expert team also deploys detectors to check for hidden moisture in porous places – like drywall, carpeting, and wallpaper.
4. Clean and Sanitize
Our advanced cleaning techniques remove dirt and bacteria from all interiors. We can ensure that your furniture, upholstery, fixtures, fitting, and even clothes will be 100% cleaned and sanitized for best use.
5. Interior Restoration
With the interior clean, dry, and safe, we repair and replace any damage to the structure or fixtures within your home or commercial premises.
At ADU, we can restore damaged plumbing and protect your roof while it awaits repair from a specialized contractor.
