Storm damage in Miami moves fast. A storm that rolls through at 2 a.m. leaves you with a flooded living room, a sagging ceiling, and water already wicking up the drywall by sunrise. Marsh Water Damage Miami has handled Storm Damage Restoration - Miami since 2005, and our crews are on call around the clock. When you call (689) 888-7601, a live person answers and we can have a crew dispatched to your home the same day. Every technician who arrives is Threshold Verified: background-checked, identity-verified, and sent to you by name and photo before they ever knock on your door.
That matters more in storm season than most people realize. You’re rattled, your house is wet, and the last thing you need is a stranger standing on your porch. So we remove that second worry before we even start the first one: you’ll know exactly who is coming, what they look like, and what they’re there to do. Storm Damage Restoration in Miami Beach and throughout the area is what we’ve done for nearly two decades, through hurricanes, tropical storms, and the sudden downpours that flood streets in Kendall and overtax drainage in Little Havana. We know what Miami water does to a house because we’ve pulled it out of thousands of them.
Our home base is right here in Miami, which means our response times are measured in hours, not days, when a storm leaves your home exposed. Tobias Reyner, who leads our team, has built this company around one premise: homeowners deserve the same level of drying technology, documentation, and accountability that large commercial losses receive. That includes written pricing before any work begins, written guarantees on every repair, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise printed on every work order. Not as a slogan. As a contractual commitment.
Flood Cleanup
Flood Cleanup is the urgent work of removing standing water and saturated materials from a home after a storm has introduced water where it doesn’t belong. In Miami, this typically means pulling water from slab floors after street flooding backs up into the house, or extracting water that has dripped through a storm-damaged roof into bedrooms, kitchens, and living spaces. Most residential water extractions in Miami run between $1,200 and $4,500 depending on square footage, depth of water, and how long it has been sitting. Marsh Water Damage Miami arrives with truck-mounted extraction units and commercial drying equipment from Dri-Eaz and Phoenix, the same gear used on large commercial losses, then sets up a drying plan with psychrometric readings (measuring the moisture in the air) to confirm when the structure is genuinely dry, not just dry on the surface.
Rapid Extraction Before Secondary Damage Sets In
Water that sits for more than 24 hours starts delaminating baseboards, warping hardwood, and saturating drywall to the point of replacement. Our crews arrive within hours of your call and begin extraction immediately, using subsurface extraction mats and high-volume pumps. Every Flood Cleanup job gets photo documentation throughout the process, which helps when you file an insurance claim later.
Moisture Mapping and Drying Verification
After the standing water is out, the real work begins: moisture hides inside wall cavities, under tile, and behind cabinetry. We use thermal imaging and moisture meters to map exactly where the water has traveled, then place air movers and dehumidifiers accordingly. The drying plan is documented in writing, so you know what equipment is going where and why. We don’t pull our equipment until the numbers say the structure is dry.
Restoration work we handle
Flooded House
A Flooded House after a Miami storm is usually not a single room with an inch of water; it’s a domino effect. Storm surge pushes into the garage, the garage floor feeds the laundry room, and within hours you have water in three rooms with the furniture soaking it up like a sponge. Flooded house restoration in Miami costs between $4,000 and $18,000 for a full mitigation and drying job on a typical 1,800-square-foot home, depending on how many rooms are affected and whether contents need to be packed out or cleaned on site. Marsh Water Damage Miami treats a flooded house as a structural emergency, not a cleaning project. We extract first, then make surgical decisions about what can be dried and what has to come out. Every step is documented, and every price is in writing before the work starts.
Contents Triage: What Can Be Saved
Not everything that gets wet needs to be thrown away, but some things have a very short window. Photographs, documents, upholstered furniture, and electronics each respond differently to water exposure. Our team is trained to sort contents by salvageability rather than haul everything to the curb, and we photograph each item before any disposal decision is made. This detail matters later when your adjuster asks what happened to the contents.
Structural Drying in High-Humidity Conditions
Miami’s perpetual humidity is the enemy of every drying job. The air outside is often wetter than the air inside, which means simply opening windows is a losing strategy. We use closed-system drying with commercial dehumidifiers that strip moisture from the air inside your home while air movers circulate it through wet materials. The goal is to get the structure to a lower moisture content than the surrounding environment, which takes equipment, experience, and patience.
Flood Restoration
Flood Restoration is the longer arc of work that moves a home from flooded to functional: the mitigation, drying, rebuilding, and finishing that returns a property to its pre-loss condition. In Miami, flood restoration pricing is usually broken into two phases: mitigation (extraction, drying, and demolition) typically runs $1,800 to $6,000, and reconstruction (drywall, flooring, paint, trim) runs $8,000 to $35,000 for a single-story home depending on finishes and square footage. Marsh Water Damage Miami handles both phases, which means you’re not coordinating between a water company and a builder. One written scope, one team, one 365-Day Done Right Promise covering the entire job. We don’t start demolition without a written price, and we don’t hand you a surprise bill after the drywall comes down.
From Mitigation to Reconstruction Without a Handoff
Most flood restoration projects stall in the gap between drying and rebuilding, where a homeowner waits weeks for a contractor who doesn’t understand water damage. We close that gap because our crews do both. The people who dry your home are the same people rebuilding it, which means there’s a clear plan from day one. No finger-pointing between sub-contractors, no lost momentum.
Written Scope Before Any Work Begins
This is the part of the process that makes homeowners breathe easier. Before floorboards are pulled or cabinets are removed, you get a printed scope of work with line-item pricing. If the drying process reveals additional damage, we present that to you in writing before touching it. You are never standing in a gutted room wondering what happened to the price.
Basement Flood Cleanup
Basement Flood Cleanup in Miami is a specific challenge because very few homes here have true basements, but many have below-grade garages, sunken living rooms, enclosed patios, and utility rooms that function the same way. These low-lying spaces collect water in every storm, and because they sit below the water table line, they stay wet longer and dry slower. Basement flood cleanup in Miami for a below-grade garage or sunken room typically runs $1,500 to $5,000, depending on size, depth of water, and whether finished materials like drywall or flooring are involved. Marsh Water Damage Miami brings the same extraction and drying technology to these below-grade spaces that we use on large commercial projects, including submersible pumps for deep water and Injectidry systems for water trapped inside walls and under flooring.
Below-Grade Water: What It Does Differently
Water in a below-grade space doesn’t just sit on the surface; it pushes up through the concrete itself. Concrete is porous, and hydrostatic pressure from saturated ground forces water up through the slab even after the standing water is removed. We address this with negative-side drying and dehumidification pushed into the slab, and we measure the slab’s moisture content before we declare the job done. Skipping this step is why so many below-grade spaces smell musty months after a flood.
Mold Prevention Starts in the First 48 Hours
Below-grade spaces in Miami are mold incubators. The combination of trapped moisture, warm temperatures, and low airflow creates conditions where mold spores germinate inside 24 to 48 hours. Our basement flood cleanup protocol includes antimicrobial application on all affected framing and concrete as part of the standard scope, not an add-on. That treatment is documented and included in your written guarantee.
Storm Damage Contractors
Storm Damage Contractors in Miami are the licensed, insured professionals who repair a home after a storm has damaged the roof, windows, siding, or structure and let water into the living space. When a hurricane tears off shingles or a wind-driven branch punctures a roof, the damage is never just the hole: it’s the water that pours through it for hours before you even know it’s there. Storm damage contractor work in Miami runs $2,500 to $12,000 for typical wind and water damage repairs, with larger structural or full-roof losses going higher based on inspection findings. Marsh Water Damage Miami operates as both storm damage restoration contractor and water mitigation team, meaning one crew secures the property, stops further water intrusion, and begins documented drying in the same visit - including our Storm Damage Restoration in Hialeah. You get a written price, a written guarantee, and a team that has been doing this in Miami since 2005.
Tarping, Boarding, and Emergency Mitigation
The first job on any storm damage call is stopping more water from coming in. We tarp damaged roof sections, board broken windows, and clear debris from roof drains and gutters as part of the emergency response. This is temporary work intended to hold your home through the next rain band until permanent repairs are scheduled. Photographs document everything, including the condition of the roof or window before we touch it.
Insurance Documentation From the First Day
Storm damage claims hinge on documentation, and the documentation has to start before the demo begins. Our team photographs the damage, logs the date and time of the storm, and tracks moisture readings from arrival to final drying. We communicate directly with adjusters and provide the technical reports they need, which means your claim moves without you acting as the middleman. That direct adjuster coordination removes a huge burden from homeowners already dealing with a damaged house.
Storm Damage Cleanup
Storm Damage Cleanup is the ground-level work of clearing debris, removing wet materials, and restoring safety after a storm has battered a Miami property. This includes everything from picking up fallen branches and torn screens to hauling out waterlogged drywall, insulation, and flooring. Storm damage cleanup in Miami typically runs $1,000 to $5,500 for debris removal and demolition of wet materials, with larger losses involving downed trees or structural damage priced after assessment. Marsh Water Damage Miami handles cleanup as the first phase of restoration, not a separate job. We remove what’s dangerous, protect what’s salvageable, and transition directly into drying and repair without pausing. Every step is documented in writing, and every job is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Safety-First Debris Removal
Storm cleanup in Miami often means dealing with materials that can cut, fall, or hide hazards: broken glass, roof nails, waterlogged tree limbs, and wiring that may still be live. Our crews arrive with full personal protective equipment, shoring materials, and powered extraction tools. We don’t ask homeowners to help, and we don’t leave a pile of debris in the driveway to become a liability. Everything is hauled and disposed of properly.
Demolition With Surgical Precision
Wet drywall has to come out, but only the wet drywall. We cut at the moisture line, not the ceiling line, and we use moisture meters to determine exactly where that line is. This approach saves you money on reconstruction because you’re not paying to replace materials that were still dry. It also reduces the amount of dust and disruption in the parts of your home that stayed dry.
Brands We Service
We work with the equipment our technicians trust, including Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers and air movers, Phoenix LGR dehumidification systems, and XPOWER axial fans and air scrubbers. These are the brands that show up on large commercial water losses, and they’re what we deploy on residential storm damage jobs in Miami. Our technicians are trained on these specific systems, including setup, monitoring, and data logging, which means the equipment runs efficiently and the drying data is reliable.
When a storm damage restoration job requires specialty tools like wood floor drying mats or hard-to-dry cavity injection systems, we use Injectidry and similar professional-grade solutions. Whether you need a standard extraction or a complex structural dry with multiple affected rooms, we arrive with the right equipment for your specific loss. No single brand fits every scenario, and our technicians know when to use which tool. If your home has been through a storm and you’re not sure what kind of equipment you need, call us and we’ll tell you exactly what we’d deploy.

AfterSigns You Need a Pro Right Now
- Water is wicking up the drywall in sheets, not spots. When water climbs drywall rapidly, it’s usually a sign that the drywall is saturated and will need to come out. Waiting means the damage climbs higher and the replacement cost grows with it. A professional can trace the moisture line and act before mold sets in.
- You smell a musty, earthy odor within 24 hours of the storm. That smell is an early sign of microbial activity beginning in wet materials. By the time you can smell it, the process is underway and will accelerate in Miami’s heat. We can treat affected materials and set drying equipment immediately.
- Ceiling drywall is sagging or showing water blisters. Water pooling above a ceiling is a structural hazard. That sagging drywall can come down without warning, bringing insulation and standing water with it. It needs to be drained and removed by someone who knows how to do it safely.
- Baseboards or flooring are separating from the wall or slab. When laminate begins to cup, hardwood starts to crown, or baseboards pull away, the subfloor is already wet. The longer it sits, the more likely it is that flooring has to be replaced rather than dried. Fast action now saves you the cost of a full floor replacement later.
- Water has been sitting for more than 48 hours. After two days, the structural studs, the subfloor, and the bottom plates are saturated, and secondary damage is well underway. This is the point where mitigation becomes significantly more expensive. We can still help, but every hour matters.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Call and speak to a live person, day or night. The call is answered by a real human at (689) 888-7601, not a voicemail or a chatbot. We ask a few questions about the damage, confirm your address, and schedule dispatch. You’ll know who is coming before the truck rolls.
- 2
Threshold Verified arrival. Your technician’s name, photo, and background verification are sent to you before they arrive. They show a photo ID badge at the door, every time. You never open your door to an unverified stranger.
- 3
Assessment and moisture mapping. The technician walks the affected areas with thermal imaging and moisture meters, mapping exactly where the water has traveled. You get a plain-English explanation of what happened, what’s salvageable, and what needs to come out. Psychrometric readings (measuring the moisture in the air) establish the baseline for the drying plan.
- 4
Written scope and price before work begins. No crew touches a wall until you have a printed line-item scope in hand. If the damage is more extensive than the initial assessment shows, we bring you an updated written scope before touching the additional areas. You are in control of the budget at every step.
- 5
Extraction, drying, and documentation until the numbers say it’s done. We extract standing water, remove what’s unsalvageable, set drying equipment, and monitor daily with written logs. When the moisture readings confirm the structure is dry, we provide final documentation including photos, dry-down logs, and the written guarantee. If the repair fails within 365 days, we make it right, free second visit included.
How Much Does Storm Damage Restoration Cost in Miami?
A typical storm damage restoration project in Miami runs between $2,500 and $12,000 for wind and water damage repairs on a standard home. Water extraction and drying alone usually falls between $1,200 and $4,500, while full structural rebuilds after major hurricane damage can run $15,000 to $50,000 or more depending on the extent of the loss. These ranges reflect what we see across Miami neighborhoods from Coral Way to Kendall after tropical storms and hurricane season events. The final number depends on how long the water sat, how many rooms are affected, what materials were installed in your home, and whether the roof or envelope needs repairs in addition to interior restoration.
What affects the price most is time. Water that is extracted within a few hours costs far less to remediate than water that has been sitting for three days. The second biggest factor is the scope of demolition: the higher the moisture wicking, the more drywall, baseboard, and flooring that comes out, and the more reconstruction you’ll need. You avoid overpaying by getting a written scope before any work starts and insisting on documentation of every moisture reading. Our free estimates include a visual inspection, temperature and humidity readings, and a plain-English explanation of what needs to happen and why. We’ll also explain what your insurance is likely to cover and what it won’t, before you sign anything.
