Local context for Miami
Most weeks we run 12–18 calls inside Miami alone. Different houses, similar fixes — we've seen yours before.
On bigger jobs we'll bring two techs. On simpler ones, just one — fewer hands, faster billing.
Scope of work
Basements flood from one of three sources: failed sump pump (inside source), groundwater intrusion (storm/runoff outside source), or sewer backup (Category 3 black water).
The source determines everything: scope of work, demolition required, sanitization protocol, and final cost. A clean-water sump-pump failure is a Category 1 event. A sewer backup is Category 3 and triples the cost.
Our first action is determining the source. Then we pump, extract, demolish what won't dry, sanitize if Category 2 or 3, and set up drying.
Basements are challenging for drying because of poor air circulation and high humidity at the foundation level. We bring desiccant dehumidifiers (better than refrigerant for cold environments) and high-CFM air movers.

From the books — a recent Miami job
Property manager call, Miami-area duplex. Both units had a finished basement flooded with 6 inches of water during a heavy rain. We pulled the system apart and found sump pump failure during a power outage. Pumped 2,800 gallons, removed wet carpet pad and lower drywall, sanitized, dried for 6 days on the same trip — both tenants happy. $312.
