Wilma and Irma damaged roofs and windows, letting rain pour inside. Leaks and AC failures in closed homes can grow mold for weeks before anyone notices. Leaks in beachfront towers travel down to units below. Summer downpours overwhelm drainage and flood low streets and garages.

Water Damage questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Boca Raton?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Boca Raton Building Permits and Inspections department.
How do I protect my seasonal Boca Raton home?
Shut off the main water, keep the AC running to control humidity, and have someone check the home after storms.
How fast does water damage need to be dried?
As soon as possible. Mold can start growing on wet drywall and wood in 24 to 48 hours, and materials keep absorbing water the longer it sits.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage?
Usually for sudden, accidental water such as a burst pipe or appliance failure. Gradual leaks, flooding from outside and sewer backups often need separate coverage or endorsements.
