What should I do immediately after water damage occurs?

If possible: stop the water source, turn off electricity in affected areas if safe, move valuables away from standing water, and contact a professional restoration company immediately.

How fast can mold grow after water damage?

Mold may begin developing within 24 to 48 hours when moisture remains present.

Can wet drywall be saved?

Sometimes. Salvageability depends on the amount of water, contamination level, drying time, and moisture readings.

Can hardwood floors be saved after water damage?

In many cases yes, if drying begins quickly and the flooring has not suffered extensive damage or mold growth.

Do you provide structural drying?

Yes. We use professional air movers, dehumidifiers, floor drying systems, Injectidry systems, moisture mapping, and thermal imaging equipment.

What equipment do you use?

We use HVE3000 Water Extractors, Phoenix AirMax Air Movers, Dri-Eaz Dehumidifiers, FLIR Thermal Imaging Cameras, Protimeter MMS3 Moisture Meters, HEPA Air Filtration Devices, Floor Drying Systems, and Injectidry Drying Systems.

How do you find hidden leaks?

We use moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, moisture mapping techniques, and detailed inspections.

What is moisture mapping?

Moisture mapping is the process of identifying and documenting hidden moisture throughout a property to determine the extent of water damage.

Can thermal imaging see through walls?

No. Thermal imaging detects temperature differences that may indicate hidden moisture. Moisture readings are used to verify findings.

Does homeowners insurance cover water damage?

Coverage depends on the cause of loss and policy terms. Sudden and accidental water damage is often covered, while long-term maintenance issues may not be.

Do you help with insurance claims?

Yes. We provide documentation, moisture readings, photos, and restoration reports to assist property owners and adjusters.

Local considerations

Leak Detection considerations in Miami

Miami's vast urban landscape encompasses everything from historic Coconut Grove bungalows and Little Havana's mid-century concrete block homes to waterfront luxury towers on Brickell — and each neighborhood carries its own distinctive water damage risk. Properties near Biscayne Bay and the Miami River face storm surge, tidal flooding, and the accelerating effects of sea-level rise that regularly inundate streets and ground-floor spaces during king tides and tropical systems. Older inland neighborhoods — Liberty City, Little Havana, Overtown — contain a high density of aging housing where original galvanized plumbing, outdated roofing, and poor drainage details are the norm. Miami's year-round tropical humidity creates ideal conditions for rapid mold growth in wall cavities, attic spaces, and under flooring after any moisture event. Masterpros provides comprehensive 24/7 emergency restoration throughout Miami — water damage, mold remediation, fire cleanup, and storm damage — on-site in 45 minutes.

We had been going through a nightmare because our house smelled so bad, and no matter what we checked, we couldn’t find the source of the problem. Masterpros came out and was able to identify an issue with an old cast-iron pipe that was causing hidden moisture and mold. Their team handled the mold remediation professionally and helped us restore our beautiful Miami home back to like-new condition. We’re extremely grateful for their knowledge, attention to detail, and help throughout the entire process. Thank you, Masterpros! Highly recommended!

Service provided was fantastic and at a fair price. Dealing with mold and water damage is very stressful and they were more than patient with all of our needs, concerns and questions. They were also very responsive throughout the process. I feel fortunate to have found and chosen them for my issue and I'll definitely be recommending them to others.
