Water after a storm?
Heavy rain can allow water to enter through damaged roofing, windows, or flashing. In West Palm Beach, local conditions can cause water damage to worsen quickly. During hurricane season, wind-driven rain can reach areas of a home that normally stay dry.
Signs you should not ignore
Warm and humid environments may allow damp building materials to remain wet for longer periods. Small openings created during storms may allow water intrusion without immediate visible damage. Look for bubbling paint, staining, soft drywall, or new cracks around affected areas.

Before severe weather arrives, inspect your property for loose roofing materials and clogged drainage systems. Write down your claim number and keep it with your documentation for future reference.
- Shut off the water if it is safe to do so.

Common questions
What should Florida homeowners do first after hurricane water damage?
If it is safe to enter, document the damage with photos and videos before cleanup, avoid contaminated floodwater, stop additional water intrusion when possible, and begin drying wet materials quickly. Storm water can hide inside walls, flooring, cabinets, and insulation.
Can a tropical storm cause serious water damage even without a major hurricane?
Yes. Tropical storms can still bring wind-driven rain, roof leaks, drainage backups, flash flooding, and long power outages. In Florida humidity, trapped moisture can become a serious issue even when the storm is not classified as a major hurricane.
Why is storm surge cleanup different from a normal plumbing leak?
Storm surge and floodwater can carry saltwater, sewage, chemicals, debris, and other contaminants. Cleanup may involve safety risks beyond ordinary clean-water damage, so homeowners should avoid contaminated water and document damage before repairs.
