Water Damage Restoration in Miami Beach

Call (844) 906-3984 How It Works

A city on barrier islands

Miami Beach had 82,890 residents in the 2020 census, on natural and man-made barrier islands between the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay. In the 1920s developers dredged the bay to build Star, Palm and Hibiscus Islands, the Sunset Islands, much of Normandy Isle and nearly all of the Venetian Islands. The city averages about 4.4 feet above mean sea level, and parts of western South Beach are at virtually zero feet above normal high tide.

That makes Miami Beach one of the most water-exposed places in South Florida. When water gets inside, call (844) 906-3984. Dominion Water Damage is a free phone line, not a restoration company: it transfers you to an independent, locally owned company that serves Miami Beach, which inspects, quotes and does the work.

Pumps, raised streets and what they mean for buildings

The pumps

Miami Beach's five-year, $500 million stormwater project includes 60 to 80 pumps. The first four, installed in 2014, are rated to pump 4,000 gallons a minute.

The raised roads

Some streets and sidewalks were raised about 2.5 feet. The Urban Land Institute names Sunset Harbour, West Avenue and the Flamingo historic district among the areas where roads were raised.

The catch

Raised roads can leave unchanged properties lower and more prone to flooding, and pump failures, as on August 1, 2017 during rain linked to Tropical Storm Emily, can cause sudden flooding.

What water damage looks like here

Historic buildings

The Art Deco district, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, holds hundreds of hotels, apartments and other buildings from 1923 to 1943. Old roofs, parapets and plaster walls take water differently from new construction.

Empty units

Of 63,543 housing units counted in 2020, 31.9 percent were vacant at census time. A supply line that fails in an empty unit can run unnoticed and reach the floors below.

King tides

In late September 2026, the City of Miami Beach warned of higher than normal tides that might flood low-lying areas. King tides return each fall; the City of Miami's list runs into late November.

Storm exposure

The 1926 Miami hurricane caused significant damage to Miami Beach, and the city's place on the open Atlantic leaves it especially exposed to hurricanes and tropical storms.

Neighborhoods across the islands

From South Beach, the southernmost 2.5 square miles, up through La Gorce, Biscayne Point, the Isle of Normandy, North Shore and North Beach, and out to the Venetian Islands, the line works the same way. Say which neighborhood and what kind of building when you call: a single-family home on a bay island, a unit in a mid-century apartment building, or a condo in an oceanfront tower.

Condo leaks on the beach

A leak in a tower often involves more than one owner. Florida Statute 718.111(11) generally assigns a unit's floor, wall and ceiling coverings, fixtures, appliances, water heaters, cabinets and countertops to the owner, and the building and common elements to the association, and it can hold an owner responsible for damage caused by negligence. Report the leak to the association in writing, keep photos and the company's moisture readings, and call your own insurer.

Check your flood zone on Miami-Dade County's tool or call its hotline at 305-372-6466; see Miami flooding and your home for what the zones mean.

Common questions

Who do I call for water damage restoration in Miami Beach?

Call (844) 906-3984. The free line answers any hour in English or Spanish and transfers you to an independent, locally owned restoration company that serves Miami Beach. That company inspects, quotes and does the work; the line never sends anyone.

Why does Miami Beach flood on sunny days?

King tides. Tidal flooding of some Miami Beach roads during the annual king tides has happened for decades. The city averages about 4.4 feet above mean sea level, and parts of western South Beach sit at virtually zero feet above normal high tide, so the highest tides of the year can reach streets without any rain.

My street was raised. Why does my property still flood?

Miami Beach raised some streets and sidewalks by about 2.5 feet as part of its stormwater program. Raised roads can leave older properties beside them lower than the street, and pump failures during heavy rain, such as on August 1, 2017, can cause sudden flooding. Ask the company to check how water reached your building.

My condo unit was empty when it leaked. What should I do?

Have the building manager or a neighbor shut off the water to the unit if it is still running, then call the line to get extraction started. Document the damage, notify the association in writing, and contact your insurer. Under Florida's condo statute, an owner is generally responsible for the unit's interior finishes, appliances and cabinets.
