Davie is a large inland town in central Broward County with a character all its own: Western and equestrian roots, working ranches and horse trails, one-acre rural estates under low-density zoning, conventional subdivisions, a university campus district, and a notable stock of mobile and manufactured homes that provide affordable housing. It was carved from reclaimed Everglades swampland at the start of the twentieth century and is still drained by the North New River Canal and the C-11, or South New River, Canal, with water moved by South Florida Water Management District pump stations. Water Damage Florida provides water damage restoration in Davie 24 hours a day across every one of those housing types.
Davie draws its water from the shallow Biscayne Aquifer, which tells you how close the water table sits to the surface, and heavy rain rather than surge is what floods homes this far inland. The town also carries a storm memory: an aerial survey after Hurricane Wilma in 2005 found that most homes and businesses in Davie showed some degree of damage. If water is in your home right now, call (888) 435-4769 and we will get a crew headed your way while we talk through what to do first.
Because Davie's housing is so varied, so are its emergencies. On a rural estate, it might be a water heater or supply line failing in a utility room, a barn-side hose bib left running against the house, or rain ponding on a large lot and finding its way under a door. In a subdivision like Forest Ridge or Rolling Hills, it is the familiar list: a water heater, a washing machine hose, an upstairs bathroom soaking the ceiling below, or a roof leak in a summer storm. In a manufactured home, the signature call is a plumbing leak under the floor that has been soaking the subfloor and insulation for weeks before anyone noticed a soft spot.
Our first visit is the same everywhere: extract the standing water, remove wet carpet, pad and baseboards, open floors or ceilings that are holding water, and set air movers and dehumidifiers before we leave. We take moisture readings and photographs from the start so your claim opens with a record. Crews come prepared for long driveways, large lots and homes on piers or crawlspaces as well as slab-built houses. There is more on that first visit on our emergency water damage page.
Restoring a home in Davie means adapting to its construction. A block ranch house on an acre lot dries much like any slab-built Florida home: map the moisture, remove the lowest drywall and any cabinetry that wicked water, dry the block and slab. A two-story subdivision home adds the floor-ceiling cavity between levels. A manufactured home is different again: the floor system is typically wood over a belly wrap with insulation beneath, so water from a leak collects below the floor where surface drying never reaches it, and the underside has to be opened, dried and verified.
The sequence holds across all three. After extraction we map moisture with meters and thermal imaging, remove what cannot dry, close the space and run dehumidifiers and air movers with daily readings until each material reaches its dry standard. Cleaning and any needed treatment come next, and the rebuild waits for the readings. Davie's high water table means the ground under and around a home is often damp already, which is one more reason we verify with readings rather than by touch. See the water damage restoration service page for the full list of what this includes.
Davie's comprehensive plan describes the town as split into two drainage basins whose water is moved by pump stations, with the North New River Canal and the C-11 Canal as the primary drainage features, both originally dug to drain the Everglades. Wetlands remain in the southwest, and homes in mapped flood zones must meet FEMA minimum floor elevations. When a stalled storm drops more rain than the pumps and canals can move, water rises in swales, pastures and streets and reaches the lowest homes, garages and outbuildings first. Large rural lots can hold a surprising amount of water against a house for days.
Water that crossed a pasture, a street or a canal bank is contaminated, and on a horse property it may carry more than most. Flood cleanup means removing carpet, pad, the lowest drywall and any cabinets that stood in it, cleaning and treating the slab and block, and running air filtration through the drying period. Stay out of standing water in a room or outbuilding with outlets or equipment, and do not aim fans at it. See the flood restoration page and our first 24 hours after a flood guide for the steps that follow.
Repair begins once the moisture logs confirm the structure is dry. In a block home that means the lowest drywall and baseboard, base cabinets, flooring and paint in the affected rooms. In a two-story home it may include the ceiling and wall below an upstairs leak. In a manufactured home, it often means replacing sections of subfloor, the belly insulation and the finished floor above, which we plan carefully so the home stays sound and level.
We build the repair scope from the mitigation record, so what the water damaged and what was already worn remain clearly separated in your adjuster's file. Where a roof or wind event opened the home, as Wilma did for so many properties in Davie, we keep the interior documentation clear enough that the roof claim and the water claim can each stand on their own.
With a water table this high and summers this humid, a Davie home that stays damp anywhere will grow mold there. In slab homes, the usual sites are the base of walls after a slow leak, the back of kitchen cabinets, and the air handler closet. In manufactured homes, it is the underside of the floor and the belly insulation after a plumbing leak, sometimes noticed only as a musty smell or a soft spot. In two-story homes, it is the ceiling cavity under an upstairs bathroom that was dried from the top only.
Our mold removal runs in a fixed order: correct the moisture source, contain the area with plastic and negative air, remove affected drywall, flooring, insulation and cabinetry, HEPA-vacuum and clean the remaining surfaces, and dry the space completely before rebuild. We do not spray over growth and call it done. The mold remediation page explains our statewide process, and our guide to hidden mold after water damage covers floor systems and cavities where it hides.
A high water table, rain-driven flooding, rural lots, subdivisions and a large stock of manufactured homes give Davie a wider mix of water losses than most Broward cities:
Every Davie project follows the same order, whether the home sits on a slab, a crawlspace or piers. The verification steps are what keep the rebuild from getting wet again.
We serve the entire Town of Davie, from the rural-estate and equestrian districts to the subdivisions, the university campus area and the manufactured-home communities.
Our central Broward crews cover the communities around Davie as well, and many have their own pages:
A few safe steps in the first hour reduce what has to be replaced. Do these and leave the rest to us.
If a storm opened the roof, the hurricane water damage recovery guide walks through the order of roof protection, drying and rebuild.
Yes, and they need a specific approach. Leaks collect under the floor in the belly insulation, where surface drying never reaches. We open the underside, remove wet insulation and subfloor sections, dry the framing, and verify with readings before the floor is closed back up.
Water that crossed a pasture or yard is contaminated, so anything porous it touched in the garage is removed rather than dried, the slab and walls are cleaned and treated, and we check the shared wall with the house for moisture that wicked through.
It can. The ground under a slab or crawlspace is often already damp, which slows drying from below and makes verification by readings essential. We size dehumidification accordingly rather than assuming a slab will dry on its own.
Only where materials were never properly dried. Insulation and drywall that stayed damp after a roof was patched can support mold indefinitely. If a home has a history of storm intrusion and a persistent musty smell, a moisture survey is worthwhile.
Yes. The floor-ceiling cavity between levels holds water in the insulation and on top of the ceiling drywall. We open and dry it, or remove the ceiling if it is saturated, and confirm with readings before it is closed.
Yes. The same crews cover Cooper City, Southwest Ranches, Weston, Sunrise, Plantation and Pembroke Pines, and we work statewide through our service areas.
