What has been happening in Melbourne
- Florida Today reported that US 192 in Melbourne flooded just before 7:30 a.m. on Monday, November 2.
- The Herald-Tribune reported flooding in the Eau Gallie beachside area and in Pineapple Park in Eau Gallie.

- CBS Miami reported that Florida declared a state of emergency in seven counties on November 2, Brevard among them (Executive Order 26-227).
What we see in Melbourne homes
- Rain flooding at doors and garage thresholds. Water that came in from outside soaks the baseboards and the bottom of the drywall first, then spreads under the flooring.
- Laminate and tile over a slab. Laminate swells at the seams once water gets under it, and tile holds water against the slab.
- Carpet and pad in newer subdivision homes. Both soak up floodwater quickly and stay wet underneath.
- Water heaters and air handlers set low in garages and utility rooms. Floodwater reaches their bases first, so have an electrician check them before you turn them on.
We cover all of Melbourne, including Eau Gallie.
Where is the water coming from?
Common questions
How fast can you get to Melbourne?
We are based in Kendall, which is far from Melbourne, and we would rather say that plainly than promise a time we cannot keep. We answer the phone 24/7. When you call, tell us your address, what is wet and where the water came from, and we give you real timing for your situation. We do not quote an arrival time on a web page. Do these things while you wait. Turn off the breaker for any wet room if you can reach it safely. Photograph everything before you move it. Lift furniture and rugs off wet floors, open interior doors and run the AC if the power is safe. The EPA says wet materials should be dried within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth, so start the steps you can do yourself right away.
The water went down. Is my Melbourne house dry now?
Probably not. When water leaves the yard or the floor, it stays behind in the bottom of the walls, under flooring, inside cabinet bases and in the slab. Baseboards and drywall wick water up above the line you can see. Surfaces feel dry long before the inside is dry, and in a closed-up house in Florida heat mold can start. The EPA says to dry wet materials within 24 to 48 hours. A moisture meter tells the truth: we check the walls, floors and baseboards and compare them with a dry area. Start by lifting furniture off wet floors, pulling wet carpet and pad if you can, and running fans and dehumidifiers. Take photos first for your insurance company. Then call us for readings. We also write up a scope your adjuster can use.
