Local risks
What causes water damage and mold in Hollywood
Hollywood was laid out in the 1920s, and many of its neighborhoods, from Hollywood Lakes to the beach, sit low and close to the water. We handle water damage, mold and flood cleanup across Hollywood.
Older beachfront condos
Many condo buildings along A1A and Hollywood Beach date from the 1960s and 1970s. Original cast-iron drain stacks and aging supply lines fail, and salt air speeds up the corrosion.
Leaks from the unit upstairsHidden leaks in older homes
Historic homes in Hollywood Lakes and mid-century homes across the city have older plumbing, plaster walls and older roofs. Leaks can hide for a while before they show up as stains or a musty smell.

Flood zones & storms
Hollywood's east side, between the Intracoastal and the ocean and around Hollywood Lakes, carries the most tidal and storm-surge exposure, and much of it is in FEMA flood zones. The April 2023 storms flooded parts of Hollywood along with Fort Lauderdale.

Hollywood questions we hear
Why does my older condo building keep having leaks?
In buildings from the 1960s and 1970s, cast-iron drain stacks and original pipes are often near the end of their life. Each leak should be dried properly, and if leaks keep coming back, the building may need a plumber to look at the pipes themselves.
Water is coming in during a storm. What should I do?
Stay safe first, and stay out of standing water if outlets or cords could be under it. Once it's safe, move valuables up, use towels to slow the spread, and call us. Drying should start as soon as the water stops coming in.
