Expert Flood Mitigation in Broward County, FL

Flood mitigation in Broward County is not a precaution — it is a practical necessity. The county sits at low elevation, receives roughly 59 inches of rain per year, and faces compound flooding from rainfall, rising groundwater, king tides, and storm surge. FEMA updated Broward's Flood Insurance Rate Maps in July 2024, placing more properties in high-risk Zone AE. That means stricter construction standards and higher exposure for homeowners who have not acted. At MDS Projects, we assess your property's specific flood risks and carry out structural improvements to reduce water intrusion. Our work covers grading corrections, drainage improvements, foundation sealing, floor elevation work, and flood-resistant material installation. We work on single-family homes, multi-unit buildings, and commercial structures throughout Broward County. Every scope of work is based on what your property actually needs — not a one-size-fits-all approach. If your property has taken on water or you want to get ahead of the next storm season, contact MDS Projects to schedule an assessment.

Mike and Crew were very professional. High Quality Workmanship. Attention to details. Would definitely hire again and recommend to others (in fact have done so already)!

Lorne Widmer Google review · April 2026

Michael recently completed excavating an old, large garden bed. He took away old trees, large rocks and dug up cement borders. Michael redesigned the garden beds, complete with beautiful stepping stones. During the consultation stage, Michael was very attentive to all ideas and made certain that the end result was the exact vision that we wanted. He was always professional, courteous, and keen to have the project match our vision. Michael did an exceptional job and we could not be happier! We can't stop looking at our beautiful new garden. Thank you Michael! It was a pleasure working with you and we will highly recommend you to anyone needing landscaping services.

We had a landscaping and excavating project completed my Michael and his crew recently. We were absolutely delighted with everything from our original conversation, discussing the details, the completion of the work in a timely manner, and the follow up from Michael every step of the way. M.D.S were extremely professional, very skilled and an absolute pleasure to work with, and we would certainly consider hiring them again for any other projects around our property. Thank you again Michael.

I hired MDS to replace some retaining walls. I was initially told by another company that the job was "impossible" given the terrain. I'm glad I called Michael instead of giving up. He presented a plan that was within my budget. More so, Michael does exactly what he says. If he says he will be there on X day at Y time, that's when he will be there. He was very reliable and communicative. The job turned out great, we are very happy with it. I have additional landscaping projects planned, and I will definitely hire MDS if they are available.

Mike replied to our request to estimate a small retaining wall for our driveway within a day. He came back with a fair price for the work done and stayed in our budget. Once we agreed to move forward he came within a day and completed the project on that day. Thanks Mike Andre van heeswyk
