AfterRestoration Company in Margate, FL
Keegan Water Damage Restoration handles water, fire, and mold jobs across Margate, FL, with the price put in writing before any work starts. Margate’s housing stock runs older than much of western Broward County, which means drain lines, supply valves, and water heaters have simply had more time to fail. A live person answers at (361) 317-7269 around the clock, and every repair is backed by our 365-Day Done Right Promise: if it fails within one year, we return and make it right at no charge.
Why Margate Homes Are Different
Margate sits on flat, low-lying ground a few miles inland from the Atlantic, and the water table sits close enough to the surface that slab foundations see real moisture pressure during the wet season. Many homes in the original Margate sections east of State Road 7 were built in the 1960s and 1970s, with cast-iron drain lines that are now at the end of their service life. When those lines crack, the first sign is often a damp spot on tile that never dries, or a musty smell that gets worse after rain. We treat those calls as potential mold problems from the start, not just water extraction jobs.
Margate’s HOA communities, especially the large ones like Palm Lakes and Carolina, move quickly when a neighbor reports visible damage, so homeowners often need mitigation started fast and documented cleanly for a property manager. The summer storm pattern between May and October means a lot of our Margate work comes from roof leaks, AC overflow pans, and groundwater pushing against exterior walls. Each of those calls for a different drying strategy: desiccant drying for a sealed interior, injection drying for a wet wall cavity, or a containment setup when mold is already airborne. We write the scope of loss before we unload equipment, so there are no surprises once the work is underway.
Our Main Margate Services
These are the three jobs Margate homeowners call us about most. Each has its own page with local pricing, specific process details, and what to expect during the first 24 hours.
Water Damage Restoration in Margate
Most Margate water damage inside the house comes from burst supply lines, failed water heaters, and AC drain pan overflows, while exterior events push water in through aged window seals and slab seams. Our technicians use Dri-Eaz and Phoenix extraction equipment and set up monitoring to confirm the structure is actually dry, not just surface-dry. We document moisture readings, humidity levels, and affected materials to support your claim. Learn more on the Water Damage Restoration in Margate page.
Fire Damage Restoration in Margate
Margate’s older wiring and the kitchen as the heart of many 1970s floor plans mean small fires spread fast through shared wall cavities. We scope the damage in three layers: charred materials, smoke penetration into drywall and insulation, and the water from suppression. Smoke odor in South Florida’s heat and humidity sets into porous surfaces quickly, so we get the written scope to you within a day when we can. Read the full process on the Fire Damage Restoration in Margate page.
Mold Remediation in Margate
Margate’s humidity keeps interior surfaces above 60 percent relative humidity for months at a time, which is exactly what mold needs. We commonly find growth behind baseboards in slab homes, inside AC closets, and along ceilings under old roof valleys. Remediation in Margate means containment, air scrubbing, source removal, and a clearance check, not just spraying a biocide and walking away. See how we handle it on the Mold Remediation in Margate page.

Whatever the scope, the price lands in writing before any work begins, and it does not move at the door.
