Delray Beach is beachside estates around Seagate, historic homes near Lake Ida and Atlantic Avenue, and Intracoastal homes. Older homes, some pre-1978, next to new construction.
Older homes off Swinton Avenue may sit on raised wood floors over a crawlspace, where a leak soaks subfloor and joists out of sight. Newer homes on slab spread water across tile and under baseboards. When a pre-1978 home needs walls or trim opened, a certified lead renovator on our team makes sure the work follows lead safe practices. We extract, dry and record moisture in every room for the owner and their adjuster.
We handle water damage restoration in Delray Beach from the first call to the final walkthrough. Demolition, debris removal and dumpsters run on our own crews and equipment, and licensed trades handle any permitted work through City of Delray Beach Building Division. One company, one project manager, one schedule.
Before we arrive
What to do, and what to leave alone, while the crew is on the way.
Do this now
- Shut off the main water valve or the fixture valve if you can reach it safely.
- Turn off breakers for wet areas if the panel is dry and safe to reach.
- Move art, rugs, electronics and documents to a dry room.
- Photograph everything before anything is moved or thrown out.
Avoid
- Do not use a household vacuum on water.
- Do not turn on ceiling lights or fans if the ceiling is wet or sagging.
- Do not open windows to dry the house. Florida air adds moisture.
- Do not wait to see if it dries on its own. Mold can start in 24 to 48 hours.

Questions, answered
My house is old. Does that change how you dry it?
Yes. Plaster, wood floors and crawlspaces dry differently than modern drywall on slab, and older paint may contain lead. We adjust our methods and follow lead safe practices where they apply.
Do I need city approval before you start drying?
Emergency drying and cleanup generally do not need a permit, but repairs that change structure, electrical or plumbing may. In historic districts, exterior changes can also need review, which we factor into the plan.
Is there water damage restoration near me in Delray Beach?
Yes. We provide water damage restoration, water extraction and flood cleanup in Delray Beach and every community from Pompano Beach to West Palm Beach, 24/7. Call (305) 615-9169 and we dispatch right away.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Our restoration lead holds Florida Mold Remediator License MRSR2859, Lead Renovator Certification 183166 and Florida DOH biohazard registration 13-64-1716182, with certifications in Water Damage Restoration, Applied Structural Drying and Applied Microbial Remediation. We carry $1M per occurrence and $2M aggregate general liability and issue certificates to HOAs, condo associations and property managers on request.
Do I have to sign over my insurance benefits?
No. Florida banned assignment of benefits on residential property policies issued on or after January 1, 2023, and we do not ask for one. You contract with us directly, stay in control of your claim, and we give your adjuster the documentation.
