Water Damage Restoration - Done in the Right Order

Each stage is performed by the independent restoration contractor the call reaches; IICRC S500 is the industry standard that describes them.

  1. Step 1: Extraction

    Standing water is pumped out before it can travel further into drywall, subfloor, and framing. Speed here changes the scope of everything that follows.

  2. Step 2: Moisture mapping

    Meters read the material, not the air, so the wet edge is found even when the surface already looks dry. The map sets what has to come out and what can stay.

  3. Step 3: Drying

    Air movers and dehumidifiers run as a closed system until readings inside the material reach a dry standard, not until a calendar date arrives.

  4. Step 4: Verification

    The same points are re-read before equipment comes out. Rebuild starts only after the structure, not just the surface, is confirmed dry.

What drives water into buildings in Greenacres

Water damage restoration in Greenacres reaches out through Covered Bridge, and our local pros handle all of it. A central Palm Beach County city on flat drained land west of the coastal ridge, where sixty-six inches a year fall and August alone brings more than ten.

Housing stock

Close to three fifths of the housing here predates 1990 — 61 percent of it — and construction settles around a median year of 1987. Six in ten homes predate 1990, block on slab across ground that is habitable because it was drained rather than because it is high. Lot drainage in these communities runs to swale inlets and from there into a canal network, so the path from a back yard to anywhere is engineered end to end.

Climate and water risk

August is the wettest month here at 10.43 inches, part of an annual 66.27 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from ABERDEEN 4.2 NNW, 2.5 miles off. August delivers more than ten inches into a single month on ground with no natural fall and a water table held down by pumping. By late summer the canal network is operating at its wet-season stage, so each new storm arrives with less room in front of it than the last.

Common water damage problems in Greenacres

  • Lot drainage that depends on swale inlets and a canal network from end to end
  • More than ten inches in August onto ground with no natural fall
  • Inlets and swales blocked by landscaping, which removes a community's only route out
  • A canal network already at wet-season stage when the biggest storms arrive

Frequently asked questions

The swale between the houses is where all the water goes. Can we fill it in?

It is almost certainly there because it has to be. In communities on flat drained land, those swales and their inlets are the designed route water takes off the lots, and there is no natural slope to fall back on. Filling one for a fence, a shed, or a garden removes drainage that several properties depend on, and the loss is invisible until a storm large enough to need it arrives. The community's drainage plan will show whether it is a designed swale.

Why does August flood us when June never does?

Because of what the season has already done. The ground here is kept usable by pumping the water table down, and by August the canal network has been working for months and is operating at its wet-season stage. The same ten inches in June would meet a system with far more room. It is not that August storms are worse; it is that there is less capacity in front of them.

Water came in at the slab edge. What actually stops that?

Keeping the sheet moving past the building. On ground with no fall, water travels across the surface until something interrupts it, and a slab edge a few inches above grade is exactly that. Making sure the ground immediately around the house falls away, that no bed or patio has been built up against the wall, and that the nearest inlet is clear, does more than anything applied to the wall itself.
