Built at the Everglades' edge
Western Pembroke Pines and its neighbors were built on land drained from the Everglades. The water table is high, the ground is flat, and drainage relies on a network of lakes and canals. In long rain events, those systems fill, and water stands in streets and yards. Rain flooding is excluded from homeowners policies. Check your address in the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
HOA communities and 55+ living
Much of Pembroke Pines is organized into HOA communities, including large 55+ communities. HOAs often have rules for contractor access and repairs, and some are responsible for roofs or exteriors. We coordinate with management and document damage so owners and associations each have what they need. See multi-unit restoration.
Homes from four decades
Eastern Pembroke Pines has older homes with galvanized and cast iron plumbing, while the 1980s and 1990s building boom brought polybutylene. Newer western communities have the first-years issues of new construction. See burst pipe repair.
Hurricane-zone building rules
Broward and Miami-Dade counties are a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone under the Florida Building Code, adopted after Hurricane Andrew. Replacement roofing, windows and exterior doors generally need products approved for that zone, and permits are required for most of that work. We build those requirements into repair plans from the start. See reconstruction.

Pembroke Pines questions
Do you have an office in Pembroke Pines?
No. SwiftFlow's only office is in Tallahassee, and Broward County jobs are coordinated from there through our statewide response network. We'll give you an honest arrival estimate when you call.
Does my HOA need to approve repairs?
Interior repairs usually don't need approval, but exterior work like roofing, windows and doors often does. Check your HOA documents, and we'll coordinate with management.
Do you work in 55+ communities?
Yes. We work with residents and management in age-restricted communities and take extra care to keep living areas usable during drying.
