Has your home or property been damaged by severe weather? Mother Nature is a powerful force that can wreak severe damage. When the storm subsides, you need expert assistance to dry out home or business.
Dry-Out is the first and most important step to ensure mold does not begin to grow. Water damage caused by a Weather event, like a plumbing leak can be the catalyst for mold growth.
It is essential that a dry out is conducted within 24 hours of the damage or mold risk increases dramatically. To be sure, you need a reputable, experienced restoration service provider. At Tri-County All Restorations we specialize in bringing property back to pre-loss condition.

Why Property Owners Call Us After a Storm
Thirty years of South Florida storms
We have worked every major storm to hit Broward County over the last thirty years. Our crews are based in Oakland Park, minutes from Fort Lauderdale, and we stage trucks, generators and drying equipment before a named storm makes landfall rather than ordering them after it. One point of contact handles the board-up, the water extraction, the structural drying and the repair, and works your claim alongside you.
What Wind Actually Does to Fort Lauderdale Properties
Most wind damage in Broward is not the dramatic kind. It is the damage you cannot see from the ground, which shows up as a ceiling stain six weeks later once the rain has found the opening. These are the failures we find most often.
Roof damage invisible from the ground
Lifted shingles, slipped or cracked barrel tiles, displaced ridge caps. The roof looks intact from the driveway while water is already tracking into the fascia and attic. This is the single most common thing we are called back for too late.
Soffit failure and attic pressurisation
Broward soffits blow out in sustained wind, and once the attic is pressurised from below, wind-driven rain is pushed up under the roof covering. The ceiling stain that follows is usually nowhere near the actual opening.
Wind-driven rain at window flanges
Rain arrives sideways here. It enters at window and door flanges and around roof penetrations with no wind damage visible anywhere, then runs down inside the wall cavity to the floor below.
Flat and low-slope roofs
The mid-century housing across Coral Ridge and Imperial Point is full of low-slope roofs. Wind lifts the membrane edge, water ponds behind it, and the failure is gradual rather than sudden, so it is easy to miss until the interior shows it.
Then the mold clock starts
Wet insulation and fascia in our humidity means mold in 24 to 48 hours. A storm job that is only patched and left becomes a mold remediation job, which is why we dry the structure rather than just stopping the leak.
Everyone calls at once
After a named storm, demand across Broward spikes in a single afternoon. Being based in Oakland Park rather than out of county is how we reach Fort Lauderdale properties for emergency tarping while roads are still difficult.

Board-Up and Tarping First, Paperwork Second
After a storm the priority is stopping further loss, and that is not only good practice. Your policy almost certainly requires it of you.
Most Florida property policies carry a duty to protect the property from further damage. If a roof stays open through the next rain, the additional damage can be argued as preventable. Emergency roof tarping and window board-up protect the building and your claim at the same time.
We photograph and document everything before, during and after the mitigation, so your adjuster can see what the damage was on day one rather than what it became by week three.

Questions Fort Lauderdale Property Owners Ask After a Storm
These are the questions the phone brings in after every storm. If yours is not here, call and ask. There is no charge for a straight answer.
Photograph everything before anything is moved or covered, then get the opening closed. Emergency board-up and tarping stops the next rain from enlarging the loss, and most policies require you to take reasonable steps to prevent further damage. Do not climb onto a wet or damaged roof yourself.
Often yes, and this is the part of a wind claim most commonly missed. Uplifted shingles, lifted flashing and hairline-cracked tile are usually invisible from the ground, but they let water in for months afterwards. We get up there, document what is actually there, and put it in the scope so the claim reflects the real damage rather than only what shows from the driveway.
Florida law currently allows one year from the date of loss to file a new hurricane or windstorm claim, and eighteen months for a supplemental claim. These deadlines have been shortened more than once in recent years, so check your own policy and do not wait. Evidence of what caused the damage gets harder to establish the longer it sits.
Because they are paid by different policies. Wind-driven rain entering through a roof or window opening is typically covered by homeowners insurance. Rising water entering at ground level is flood, which needs separate flood coverage. Documenting how the water got in is what determines which policy responds, which is why we photograph the entry point before anything is repaired.
We are based in Oakland Park, minutes from Fort Lauderdale, and we crew up ahead of a named storm rather than after it. In the first days the priority is emergency board-up and tarping, because that is what stops a loss from growing while the queue clears. Full restoration is scheduled behind it.
Yes, and the window is short. Once wind-driven rain is inside a wall cavity, mold can begin within 24 to 48 hours in South Florida humidity. A tarp stops new water but does nothing about what already got in, which is why extraction and structural drying follow the board-up immediately rather than waiting for the adjuster.
