Water Damage by STORMS

Especially in an area like South East Florida, which is frequently hit by storms, there may be some water damage a few days after the storm subsides. Many of the residential buildings are not updated to current code for Windows, Plumbing, Sewage systems, and Electrical Wiring. When these updates do not happen in time, we are there to control the damage.
