Margate is a Broward County city of canals, condos and single-story homes along State Road 7, Atlantic Boulevard and Margate Boulevard. A large share of housing here is older condo and villa buildings, where one leak in a second-floor unit often ends up in the ceiling of the unit below.
Single-family homes are mostly slab houses with tile floors and the AC in a hall closet or garage. Common leak sources are clogged condensate lines, failed water heaters and washing machine hoses. Homes backing onto canals can also see water rise in the yard during heavy summer rain.
The restoration crew checks moisture in floors, walls and ceilings, writes down the scope and price before work starts, and dries the space until readings are normal. In condos, the crew documents both units so the owners and the association can sort out the claim.
