A burst pipe, an overflowing air conditioner drain or a storm leak can put water in a West Palm Beach home in minutes.
West Palm Beach has both older, low-rise historic homes and high-rise towers downtown near Clematis Street and Rosemary Square. In older homes, aging supply lines and drain pipes are frequent causes. In towers, a leak on one floor commonly affects the floors below it.
We take moisture readings behind walls and under floors, remove standing water and dry the structure with air movers and dehumidifiers until the readings confirm it is dry.
West Palm Beach is the seat of Palm Beach County, located along the Intracoastal Waterway and Lake Worth Lagoon, and it includes a downtown waterfront, historic districts and newer high-rise towers. In this city, our work covers downtown condominiums and apartment towers, historic cottages in Flamingo Park, El Cid and Northwood, waterfront homes along the Intracoastal, and suburban neighborhoods to the west.
Our service areas include Downtown West Palm Beach, Flamingo Park, El Cid, Northwood, Clematis Street and Rosemary Square, and we also assist property owners in nearby Palm Beach, Lake Worth Beach, Riviera Beach, Royal Palm Beach and Wellington. This city is in Palm Beach County, roughly 31 miles from our Deerfield Beach office at 1805 S Powerline Rd. When you call, give us your address and we will confirm timing.
Each loss is different. The main factors are how much water there is, what kind of water it is (clean supply water, used water from appliances, or contaminated water such as sewage), how long materials stayed wet, which materials are affected and how much rebuilding is needed. No one can give a fair price without seeing the damage, so request a written estimate after an inspection and ask what it includes.
Coverage for water damage varies by policy. Sudden, accidental events are commonly covered, while slow leaks and seepage often are not, and flood typically requires a separate flood policy. Report the loss early, keep photos and receipts and ask for a written scope of work. Whether the claim is covered is up to your insurer.
Both are important. Hurricane season can bring wind-driven rain and roof damage, while everyday heat and humidity create hidden moisture all year. Historic buildings may have older roofs, windows and plumbing that allow moisture to enter gradually.
Yes. Older homes may contain different materials, such as plaster, wood framing or older plumbing, and we plan the work based on what is actually in the building. When you call, tell us the age and materials.
Many policies cover sudden, accidental water damage but not long-term leaks, and flood damage usually needs separate flood insurance. The decision is your insurer's to make.
Stay safe, keep out of water near electricity, stop the source if you can, take photos and call a restoration company and your insurer.
