AfterFast, Reliable Storm & Disaster Restoration Across Kendall
Storm damage in Kendall doesn’t wait for business hours, and frankly, neither do we. A typical emergency storm response in Kendall runs $1,200-$4,800 depending on scope, and we’re usually on-site within 60-90 minutes of your call. That matters here because Kendall’s flat limestone terrain and canal network mean water moves fast and lingers longer than it should. Our Storm & Disaster Restoration crews know the difference between a superficial soffit tear on a 1994 rebuild and the early warning sign of a failed underlayment that’s been wicking moisture into your attic for weeks. Call (629) 213-4606 and a live person answers, any hour.
Why DryMark Restoration Is Kendall’s Preferred Storm & Disaster Restoration Company
Kendall homeowners call us after storms for one reason: we document what we find, in writing, before we touch anything. Alicia Brennan founded DryMark in 2011 after years as a claims adjuster watching homeowners lose settlements because their restoration contractor couldn’t produce a moisture map, a drying log, or a coherent scope of work. That documentation gap is what we built the company to close. In Kendall specifically, we’ve walked hundreds of post-Andrew CBS homes. We know what a 1994 roof deck looks like when its early synthetic underlayment has split, and we know that water trapped inside concrete block wall cavities gets into top plates and insulation faster than most homeowners realize.
Every job in Kendall starts with a written price, per Haven Standard Clause 1. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and arrive with equipment from XPOWER and Injectidry calibrated to IICRC standards for structural drying. We serve the full Kendall area from our South FL dispatch office, and our techs know the neighborhoods west of Dadeland, the communities along Kendall Drive, and the canal-adjacent streets near the C-100. That local familiarity means we don’t waste the first hour getting oriented.
Our Storm & Disaster Restoration Services in Kendall
Roof Tarping
When a Kendall thunderstorm tears shingles off a 1993 rebuild, the clock starts immediately. We provide emergency roof tarping in Kendall, typically $350-$750 for a standard single-story CBS home, with materials rated to hold through tropical-storm-force winds. Tarping is the stopgap between the moment damage happens and the day a roofer performs permanent repairs. Without it, the next afternoon’s rain finds the split underlayment and turns a $500 repair into a $12,000 attic remediation.
Storm Damage Cleanup
Storm damage cleanup in Kendall often looks like a soffit blowout or a section of fascia pulled loose. What we actually find, once we open the area, is the real story: water that saturated plywood decking and insulation weeks before the homeowner noticed staining on the ceiling. Cleanup in Kendall typically runs $800-$3,200, depending on affected square footage and material classification. We remove water-damaged drywall, insulation, and trim to IICRC guidelines, and we document every removal with photos and moisture readings before and after.
Flood Damage Restoration
Kendall’s canal network, particularly the Snapper Creek canal and the C-100, backs up during heavy tropical rainfall and pushes water over the street and onto slab foundations. Floodwater sitting against a CBS slab for days isn’t just a nuisance; it’s actively wicking moisture up into framing. Our flood damage restoration in Kendall starts with water extraction using XPOWER pumps, followed by structural drying with tertiary drying protocols that account for Kendall’s high ambient humidity. A typical flood damage restoration in Kendall runs $2,800-$9,500, with the range driven by affected square footage, water classification, and whether the water sat long enough to require antimicrobial treatment.
Emergency Board-Up
After wind damage or a fallen tree limb breaks a window or door opening, board-up in Kendall costs $250-$600 per opening, same day. We secure the property with plywood and fasteners approved for CBS openings, which means no follow-up drilling by adjusters and no security risk while you wait for permanent repairs. Board-up is the first step in any storm restoration sequence, and we include photo documentation of the secured openings in your claim file.

BeforeAfterTrusted Brands We Service in Kendall
Kendall homes were built across several decades, and the restoration equipment that works on a 1972 CBS ranch near Kendall Regional Medical Center is the same equipment that works on a 1996 rebuild off Killian Parkway. We run Injectidry drying systems for wall cavities, XPOWER air movers and dehumidifiers for open areas, and B-Air units for spot drying. We maintain a local parts inventory for common Kendall housing configurations, which means we don’t have to wait on a supply run from across town to start structural drying. Our techs also service older storm shutters and roof tie-downs specific to post-Andrew rebuilds.
Common Storm & Disaster Restoration Problems We See in Kendall Homes
- Failed early synthetic underlayments on 1993-1997 rebuilds. These materials degrade under South Florida UV and heat cycling, and they split silently. By the time you see a water stain, moisture has been traveling through the roof deck for weeks.
- Water trapped in CBS wall cavities after a roof leak. Concrete block is strong but porous. Water inside a cavity doesn’t dry on its own in Kendall’s humidity. Without full cavity drying with Injectidry systems, mold colonization begins within 48 hours.
- Canal backup flooding against slab foundations. The Snapper Creek and C-100 canals were designed for agricultural drainage, not urban stormwater volume. When streets flood in Kendall, water sits against slabs for days, and the moisture wicking into framing is slow, invisible, and destructive.
- Degraded hurricane straps on post-Andrew roofs. Early-generation straps installed quickly in 1993-1995 corrode and lose tension. What looks like an isolated soffit failure can actually mean your roof deck has been lifting in micro-movements for months, opening seams for water intrusion.

FAQs - Storm & Disaster Restoration in Kendall
Why does a small roof leak in my 1990s Kendall home lead to mold so fast?
Mold colonization begins within 48 hours when moisture is present, and Kendall’s post-Andrew CBS homes trap water inside block wall cavities where air can’t circulate. The result is that a small leak that sat for two or three days inside a cavity is often already past the point of simple drying. We recommend an inspection within 24 hours of noticing any ceiling stain in a Kendall home built between 1992 and 1997. Call (629) 213-4606 and we’ll send a tech with moisture meters.
My Kendall street floods from the Snapper Creek canal during heavy rain-what should I do before my cleanup crew arrives?
First, document the waterline and take photos from multiple angles if it’s safe to do so. Do not enter standing floodwater that may be in contact with electrical outlets. Then call us. We coordinate with your insurance carrier’s preferred documentation standards and we start extraction with XPOWER pumps as soon as we arrive. The longer canal water sits against your slab, the more moisture wicks into framing. Get us on-site while the water is still standing if possible.
How do I know if my post-Andrew rebuild’s hurricane straps are failing?
Failing hurricane straps rarely announce themselves. The signs to look for: rust staining at rafter connections in your attic, visible separation between the roof deck and wall plates, or soffit sections that seem to pull loose after moderate winds. We can inspect the attic during any storm restoration visit and document strap condition with photos for your insurance file. A strap inspection is part of our storm damage assessment in Kendall, not an add-on.
Can you dry my 1993 Kendall home without replacing the drywall after a roof leak?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. If the leak was caught within 48 hours and the drywall is still structurally sound, we can often dry it in place using Injectidry cavity drying systems and XPOWER air movers, pulling moisture readings down to pre-loss condition. If water sat longer, or if the drywall has wicked moisture up from the base plate, replacement is usually the honest call. We’ll show you the moisture readings either way. A written scope comes before any work begins.
What is the biggest mistake Kendall homeowners make after a storm?
Waiting to see if the stain dries on its own. In Kendall’s humidity and with CBS cavity trapping, that decision turns a $500 tarping job into a $12,000 mold remediation. The second biggest mistake is signing a work authorization without a written scope and price. We don’t leave room for either error. Document early, call (629) 213-4606, and get a written price before anything is touched.
