Local considerations
Structural Drying considerations in Lauderdale Lakes
Lauderdale Lakes is a densely populated inland Broward community where the majority of homes were built between 1960 and 1980 on flat, low-lying land with minimal natural drainage relief. Outdated concrete block construction with aging galvanized supply lines, cast-iron drain stacks, and clay sewer laterals creates a high baseline risk for plumbing failures, hidden leaks, and sewage intrusion events. The city's low elevation and heavy impervious cover mean that summer thunderstorms — some dumping over five inches in an hour — can quickly overwhelm municipal drainage, sending water across streets and into garages and ground-floor living spaces. Many properties here still lack modern vapor barriers, and the persistent high humidity promotes mold growth inside wall cavities and beneath flooring long before visible signs appear. Aging flat roofs on commercial strips and older apartments are especially prone to ponding and membrane deterioration. Masterpros provides 24/7 emergency restoration for Lauderdale Lakes homes and businesses, arriving within 55 minutes.

Process
How Structural Drying works
Affected areas are inspected and tested to determine where moisture is present. This helps define the drying scope and equipment needs.
Materials that cannot be dried effectively may be removed to expose wet areas and support more efficient drying.
Air movers, dehumidifiers, and other equipment are positioned based on the materials and moisture conditions. Proper placement helps control humidity and encourage evaporation.
Moisture and humidity readings are checked throughout the process. Monitoring allows equipment placement and drying conditions to be adjusted when needed.
Final readings are compared with appropriate reference conditions before equipment is removed. This helps confirm whether materials are ready for cleaning, repairs, or reconstruction.
Drying results and remaining damage are documented, with recommendations provided for any additional removal or repair work.

My Client was experiencing a leak from their roof vent, which we swiftly repaired. We quickly reached out to Andrea with Master Pros. They came out the very next day and assessed the pending interior issues from the roof vent leak. It was a great pleasure and we look forward to continuing business together!

As full-time residents of New York, we were incredibly grateful to have Masterpros take care of our home in Sarasota after it suffered major flood damage. From the emergency response and structural drying to the complete reconstruction, they handled every step of the process with professionalism and outstanding communication. Even though we were out of state, the team kept us updated with photos, progress reports, and answered all of our questions, giving us complete peace of mind. The quality of the reconstruction exceeded our expectations, and our home looks even better than before the flood. If you’re looking for a trustworthy restoration company that truly cares about its customers, we highly recommend Masterpros. Thank you for making such a stressful situation so much easier!
