Water Damage Restoration in Coconut Creek, FL

Coconut Creek is known as the "Butterfly Capital of the World" because Butterfly World is there, and it is a planned community with many trees, waterways, landscaped roads and parks. That landscaping shapes where water comes from. Limbs can fall on roofs and roots can reach buried lines, irrigation systems run beside slabs and stucco, and the waterways rise during heavy rain. Inside a house, a loss often begins at the water heater, a fixture connection or the air-conditioner drain line.

Coconut Creek seceded from Pompano Beach in the 1960s. Its housing is mostly single-family homes, condominiums and townhouses within landscaped communities. In a single-family house, water can come from a water heater that gives out, a supply line that splits, a condensate line that clogs, or a roof that a limb has damaged. A townhouse or condominium adds shared walls, floors and ceilings, so a leak in one unit often shows up in the next. The association often has rules for how and when work can happen.

Mature trees close to a house can drop limbs onto a roof in a storm, shifting tiles or shingles and letting rain in. Roots can also work toward buried drain and supply lines, where they can crowd or block them. A limb through a roof and a root-blocked drain look nothing alike, but both end with water inside the house.

After a limb strikes the roof, stay clear of any stained or sagging ceiling and take photos of the damage. We extract the water that came in, map its path through insulation and walls, and dry it. Permanent roof work belongs to a roofer.
