Atlantis is a small city west of Lantana built around a golf course, with single-family homes, villas and condos, many from the 1970s and 1980s. Polybutylene-era plumbing, shared walls in villas, seasonal owners and AC leaks are the main causes of water damage.

Call as soon as you find water. Give your address and describe what is happening. You do not need to know what service you need.

Water Damage Services in Atlantis, FL

Water removal

Crews start by extracting standing water from floors, carpet and low spots in your Atlantis home. Getting the bulk of it out early limits how far it spreads.

Drying, cleaning and rebuilding

Dehumidifiers and air movers dry the structure while thermal cameras and moisture meters show where water is hiding. Materials that cannot be dried are removed, surfaces are cleaned, and repairs follow once readings are back to normal.

Flood water cleanup

Heavy rain and tropical storms can flood low streets, yards and ground floors. Water from outside is contaminated, so the cleanup includes removing soaked materials and disinfecting before the home is dried. Flood policies cover this; standard homeowners policies do not.

Why Atlantis Homes Get Water Damage

Polybutylene-era plumbing

Homes built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s often have gray polybutylene supply pipe, which tends to fail at fittings without warning.

Retirement communities

In Atlantis’s 55-plus communities, many owners are seasonal and buildings share plumbing between units.

Gated golf communities

Larger homes in gated communities have many fixtures and several air handlers, and owners are often away part of the year.

Water heaters and supply lines

Water heaters eventually rust through, and flexible supply lines to toilets, sinks and ice makers burst without warning. Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30.

While You Wait for the Crew

1. Turn off the water at the main shutoff or at the leaking fixture.
2. If it is safe, switch off breakers for rooms with standing water.
3. Photograph the water, the source and damaged items.
4. Move electronics, papers, rugs and small furniture to a dry room.
5. Wipe up what you can, but do not use a household vacuum on water.
6. Stay out of rooms with sagging ceilings, and keep pets and children away from contaminated water.

Then call 786-919-0159 if you have not already. The sooner drying starts, the less of your Atlantis home has to be opened up.

Calling for a Parent or Neighbor

Water Damage Insurance Basics for Atlantis Homeowners

Ask two questions: where did the water come from, and how fast did it happen? A pipe, appliance or water heater that failed suddenly is usually a homeowners or HO-6 claim. Water that came in from outside during a storm is usually a flood insurance claim. A leak that dripped for months is often not covered at all.

Whatever the source, your insurer will want photos taken before cleanup, prompt notice of the claim and proof that you acted to stop further damage. Starting the drying right away checks that box, and the crew’s daily moisture readings and photos give your adjuster a clear record of the job.

Is There a Leak You Have Not Found Yet?

Hidden leaks are common in Atlantis homes, especially behind showers, under kitchen sinks, around AC closets and below upstairs bathrooms. Clues include a smell that reminds you of a damp basement, paint that lifts or blisters, baseboards that feel soft when pressed, flooring that has started to cup or lift, and a water meter that keeps spinning with every faucet off. If any of these sound familiar, a moisture check is quick and does not require opening walls.

Why Speed Matters for Mold in Atlantis

In a dry climate, a wet wall might dry out on its own. In Atlantis, it usually will not. Humid air keeps drywall, wood and carpet pad damp, and mold can take hold in a day or two. That is why professional drying focuses on getting moisture readings back to normal, not just on making surfaces feel dry. If mold has already started, the affected area is sealed off, the damaged materials are removed and the space is cleaned before rebuilding.
