A city that grew west
Pembroke Pines, in southern Broward County about 22 miles north of Miami, had 171,178 residents in the 2020 census. It incorporated in 1960, and in 1980 annexed land from Flamingo Road west to U.S. 27, doubling its size. Interstate 75 reached Pines Boulevard by 1984, and the area west of it became known as West Pines. Growth sped up after Hurricane Andrew in 1992, and most of the West Pines subdivisions were built after that storm.
The population tells the story: 35,776 in 1980, 65,452 in 1990, 137,427 in 2000 and 154,750 in 2010. So the city has two kinds of housing stock, older homes in the east and newer subdivisions in the west, and both get water damage. Call (844) 906-3984 and the free line transfers you to an independent local restoration company that does the work.

Storms Pembroke Pines remembers
Irene, 1999
Up to 16 inches of rain citywide, and an estimated 19 inches in Chapel Trail and Silver Lakes.
Katrina, 2005
Passed directly over the city as a Category 1 hurricane, bringing down power lines and trees, especially in Chapel Trail and Silver Lakes.
Wilma, 2005
Its eye passed about 20 miles north, with sustained winds of 92 mph and a 101 mph gust recorded; most of the city lost power for days and there was minor roof and screen damage.
Before and after water gets in
Low-lying neighborhoods
The city says properties are susceptible to flooding, particularly in low-lying neighborhoods, and that prolonged heavy rain raises the risk. Know whether your street is one of them.
New flood maps
As of July 31, 2024, the updated FEMA flood maps for Broward County are in effect. The county viewer and FEMA's Map Service Center both show your zone.
Flood insurance is separate
FEMA says most homeowners insurance does not cover flood damage and that a new NFIP policy typically has a 30-day waiting period. The city says residents can get a flood insurance premium discount.
Two-story homes leak downward
In a two-story home, an upstairs bathroom or laundry leak shows up in the ceiling below. Shut off the water and call before the ceiling board sags.
