Activities That Ease Recovery and Flood Repairs in Ft. Lauderdale

A flooded house presents many problems, like hazardous contaminants and slick surfaces. It also becomes a hive of activities as work crews clean, remove materials and decontaminate all areas affected by flood damage. Although it may seem more practical, staying close to the Ft. Lauderdale property can heighten your sense of loss since it is harder to distance yourself from the situation mentally. 

Deciding to put some physical distance between you and the flood damage at your Ft. Lauderdale property is one thing. Still, you also need to find activities or amenities to fulfill the needs your home cannot provide over the days to weeks it takes SERVPRO to complete restoration tasks such as removing soot and replacing charred materials.

The Fort Lauderdale area offers everything from parks for relaxation and self-reflection to unique eateries to cater to your nutrition and tastes. There are also several landmarks and historical sites if you fancy sightseeing.

Where to Take in the Sights in Ft. Lauderdale

  • Walk a notable street such as Las Olas Boulevard. The trendy street is a 20-minute walk to the beach, lined with galleries, boutiques, and restaurants.
  • An interactive site like the Museum of Discovery and Science offers an IMAX theater, a live animal exhibit, and a simulated ride to Mars.
  • Visit one of the oldest surviving structures in Ft. Lauderdale at the Historic Stranahan House Museum. It was built in 1901 as the home of Frank and Ivy Stranahan, who helped develop the city.
  • Spend time at a park with a freshwater lagoon, nature trails, and picnic areas like the Hugh Taylor Birch State Park. 

Even though the flood damage figuratively leaves a bitter taste in your mouth, you can use the downtime to try different Fort Lauderdale cuisines like Conch fritters, Alligator bites, Key lime pie, and Cuban sandwiches.

Notable Eateries That Offer These Include

  • Bahama Breeze and The Conch Shack, where you can enjoy Conch Fritters
  • Shuck N Dive and Gator's Dockside, which offer Alligator Bites
  • La Colina Cuban Cafe and Casa Cubana, where you can try Cuban sandwiches
  • Kermit's Key West Key Lime Shoppe and Blond Giraffe Key Lime Pie Factory
