Lake Alfred, in Polk County, is an inland community of lakes and rolling ridge with roughly 6,400 residents. Lake Alfred is a small Polk County city known for its citrus research center and the Lake Alfred Historic District. Water damage here follows the pattern of the area: ridge-top and lakeside houses, older ranch homes, and new subdivisions. When water gets into one of those buildings, the clock starts immediately, because Florida's warm, humid air lets mold begin growing in as little as 24 to 48 hours.
Lake Alfred sits roughly 174 feet above sea level. If you are dealing with a leak, a flooded room, or storm damage in Lake Alfred, call (305) 789-7628 any time, day or night.
