Many homes are 1970s–1990s villas and condos in retirement communities. Many Boynton Beach residents live in 1970s–1990s retirement communities with villas and condos that share walls, roofs and plumbing, so a leak in one unit can affect neighbors. Many owners are seasonal, and slow leaks and AC failures can run for weeks before anyone notices. Older homes near downtown and the Inlet have cast-iron drains and aging supply lines, and concrete-block walls absorb wind-driven rain. Many villas share roofs with neighbors, so a failed roof seam or clogged drain on one unit can send water into the unit next door, and associations and owners split responsibility for repairs.

Flood damage cleanup questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Boynton Beach?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Boynton Beach Building division.
Do I need flood insurance in Boynton Beach?
Homeowners policies exclude flood. Recent storms flooded many homes outside high-risk zones, so a separate flood policy is worth considering.
Is flood damage covered by homeowners insurance?
Usually not. Rising water from outside is typically covered only by a flood policy (NFIP or private). Water from a burst pipe is a different claim under your homeowners policy.
Can drywall that got flood water be dried?
Generally no. Floodwater is contaminated, so the IICRC S500 standard calls for removing porous materials it soaked, including drywall and insulation, above the waterline.
