Emergency Water Damage Restoration in Miami Lakes

Early homes now 60 years old

The first Miami Lakes homes date to the 1960s, and many have original galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains under the slab and water heaters in closets. Homes from the 1970s and 1980s may have polybutylene. Slab leaks, pinhole leaks and drain backups are common at this age. Watch for warm spots on tile and slow drains. See burst pipe repair.

Living on the lakes

The town's lakes were designed as part of its drainage. In heavy tropical rain, they rise, and backyards and patios on the water can flood. Most homes sit above normal lake levels, but extreme rain can push water toward back doors. If you're on a lake, check the FEMA flood map and consider flood coverage.

Mature trees

Miami Lakes was planned with trees in mind, and today its streets have a mature canopy. Storms bring down limbs on roofs and fill gutters. On barrel tile roofs, underlayment wears out long before the tiles, and water gets under them. See ceiling and roof leak repair.
