24/7 Emergency
Storm & Flood Damage Recovery in Delray Beach, FL
The opening is closed, the water is extracted, materials floodwater touched come out, and the structure is dried and rebuilt in that order. The opening is closed first, with tarps or board-up, so the building stops taking on water. Floodwater is extracted, and the porous materials it touched come out rather than dry, since it crossed ground outside. The structure is dried and re-read, and the rebuild waits until the readings and the roof both allow it.

Often needed alongside
- Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock, before it climbs the walls and soaks the subfloor. Same-day response where coverage allows.
- Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.
- Sewage & Contaminated Water Cleanup
Sewage and black-water losses are contained, the materials the water touched are removed and disposed of, hard surfaces are disinfected, and the space is dried to a reading.
Frequently asked questions
What changes when impact windows go in?
The opening as much as the glass. The new units are heavier and thicker than what they replace, so they sit differently in the wall, and the way water that gets into the opening finds its way back out depends entirely on how that perimeter was detailed.
Where does the water actually get in?
At the perimeter rather than through the unit. The glazing itself is sound; what leaks is the joint between the new frame and the old opening, particularly at the bottom corners, where sealant is doing the work a flashing should do.
Is there a way to check the installation?
Looking at the sill from outside tells you a good deal. A unit fitted with a proper sill pan and an end dam will show a drainage path; one bedded in sealant alone will not. It is worth knowing before a wall is opened up.
