It began on land the state drained around the turn of the 20th century, when an out-of-state businessman, Robert Parsell Davie, bought 44 square miles to develop farms and a town called Zona. Horseback riding is common, and many of the town's historic buildings are ranches and Western establishments. Davie is also where Interstate 595 meets Interstate 75. That history has two effects on water damage. Some properties are spread out, so a loss on a large lot can involve more than one building. And land that was drained for farming still relies on drainage, so in heavy rain, standing water can reach a building. Davie's housing can include ranch properties with barns and outbuildings as well as slab-on-grade stucco homes with tile or shingle roofs. On any of them, a loss can start the same way: a water heater, a supply line, an air-conditioner drain line, or rain pushed in by wind at a roof, a window or a sliding door. On a larger lot the difference is scale, because more than one building can be wet and the crew has to know about each one. Place facts: [Wikipedia, "Davie, Florida"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davie,_Florida), retrieved October 26, 2026. ## Davie homes and buildings, and how water gets in Some Davie properties are larger lots or horse properties, where a main house commonly stands among barns and other outbuildings. A call from such a property helps when it says which buildings have water in them and where the entrance is. A house built the common Broward way, with stucco-finished block walls, a concrete slab and tile or shingle roofs, loses water in a particular pattern. Water on a tile floor tends to spread beneath the tile and up into the lower wall, so before setting equipment the crew marks the wet area's full extent with meters and a thermal camera. ## Heavy rain and drainage on larger lots On a large lot, rain that outpaces what the ground can absorb collects at low spots, and a low spot beside a house can send water to a threshold, a garage door or a sliding door. On a spread-out property, water can linger near the buildings after the rain stops. Water that comes inside from the yard is treated as Category 3, the contaminated class, under the IICRC S500 standard. The water is extracted, the wet carpet pad, baseboard and lower drywall are removed, the surfaces are cleaned, and the structure is then dried to a recorded goal. ## If the property is on a septic system Where a property is on a septic system rather than sewer, sewage and wet-ground problems differ from those on a sewer connection, so tell us on the call which system the property has. A sewage backup inside the house is Category 3 water however the property drains. The crew extracts the water, removes wet porous materials, cleans and dries the space. Servicing a septic tank or drain field is work for a septic service. ## Barns, outbuildings and the main house A horse property can have a barn or other outbuildings in addition to the house. When a storm or a failed line wets more than one structure, the crew maps and documents each building separately, noting what its floors and walls are made of. ## What happens after you call from Davie 1. **Call with the address, the buildings and the gate.** Call (786) 213-9489 and give the address. On a larger lot or a horse property, tell us which buildings have water in them and where the gate or driveway is, so the crew goes straight to the right entrance. 2. **Stop the water and note the septic question.** Close the fixture's valve or the property's main shutoff. If sewage is involved, say whether the property is on a septic system, and keep people and pets out of the wet area. 3. **Extract and map each wet building.** The crew removes standing water and maps moisture, using moisture meters and a thermal camera, in the house and in any outbuilding the water reached, noting the floor and wall materials of each. 4. **Dry, measure each day and keep the record.** Air movers and dehumidifiers are set in each wet building according to the readings. A crew member returns daily for new readings and keeps taking readings until each building's materials reach the dry goal. Each building's photos and readings go into the record. ## Parts of Davie we serve - **Larger lots and horse properties:** Some properties here are larger lots or horse properties, where a main house may stand among barns or other outbuildings. Heavy rain can collect at low spots near the buildings, and a loss may involve more than one structure. - **Where I-595 meets I-75:** Davie is where Interstate 595 meets Interstate 75. A loss near the interchange can start with a water heater, a supply line, a drain line or a roof leak. - **Near Dania Beach:** Dania Beach lies to the east of Davie. Houses and lots can differ in age and size from street to street, and a water heater, a supply line or a drain line can be where a loss starts. - **Near Weston:** Weston borders Davie. A loss here can start with the same water heater, supply line, roof or drain-line failures as anywhere in town, and we serve both. ## Water damage questions in Davie ### How soon can a crew get to a Davie property? Davie is reached through (786) 213-9489, answered by a person at any hour. A crew can be on-site in as little as 60 minutes in Miami-Dade. Broward and Palm Beach dispatches take somewhat longer. Response times vary based on crew availability and demand. ### Do you respond to horse properties and larger lots in Davie? Yes. We serve Davie, including larger lots and horse properties. Tell us on the call which buildings have water in them and where the gate or driveway is. The crew maps and documents each affected building separately, so the record shows what was wet in the house and in anything else on the property. ### My Davie property is on a septic system and water is backing up inside. What should I do? Stop using water in the house, keep people and pets away from the wet area, and call. Sewage that backs up inside is Category 3 water on a septic system or a sewer connection. We extract it, remove the wet porous materials and clean the space. Servicing the septic tank or drain field itself is work for a septic service. ### What is different about water damage on a large Davie lot compared with a house on a small lot? Scale and the number of buildings. A house on a small lot is usually one structure with one entrance. A larger property can have a house, a barn and other outbuildings, so the crew maps each wet building and the records include each one. The drying method does not change: extract, map moisture, dry and take daily readings. ### Davie's land was drained for farming at the turn of the 20th century. Does that still matter after heavy rain? It can. Davie sits on land the state drained at the turn of the 20th century, when Robert Parsell Davie bought 44 square miles to develop farms and a town called Zona. Drained land still relies on drainage, so after days of heavy rain, standing water can reach a building. Floodwater that gets inside, from a canal, a lake or the street, is IICRC Category 3: wet porous materials come out and the surfaces are cleaned before drying. ### Which towns and cities near Davie do you work in?
