AfterDamage Restoration in Palm Beach, FL
Storm and disaster restoration in Palm Beach typically runs $3,200-$8,500 for residential flood damage, with emergency board-up and roof tarping starting at $850-$1,400. We’re Back to Dry Restoration, and we dispatch crews to Palm Beach from our Miami office with 24/7 live phone coverage - no voicemail while water is still moving. Call (754) 227-6524 for a written price before any work starts, every time, under Haven Standard, Clause 1.
Why Palm Beach Homes Are Different
Palm Beach sits on a narrow barrier island where the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway press against both sides, creating a dual-front flood threat no mainland South Florida city faces. During hurricanes, storm surge can overtop the eastern dune line while Intracoastal water pushes across low-lying western streets simultaneously, trapping saltwater inside structures from opposite directions.
The housing stock compounds every restoration job. Most Palm Beach estates are 1920s-1940s Mediterranean Revival structures by Addison Mizner and his contemporaries, built with oolitic coral stone masonry, pecky cypress timbers, hand-painted Spanish tiles, and thick lime plaster. These materials absorb and release moisture on entirely different drying curves than modern drywall and pine framing. The Town of Palm Beach’s Landmarks Preservation Commission requires period-appropriate restoration, making standard swap-and-replace protocols legally unacceptable. Many are also seasonal residences, so summer pipe bursts or post-hurricane moisture intrusion can go undetected for two to three months, allowing mold to establish deep inside historic fabric before any crew is called.
Salt-laden onshore winds accelerate corrosion of HVAC coils, electrical panels, and structural fasteners in ways that appear as secondary damage weeks after the primary event - a hidden cost inland Palm Beach County communities rarely match.
Our Main Palm Beach Services
Most Palm Beach calls we receive fall into two categories: sudden water intrusion from storms or plumbing, and the mold that follows when seasonal homes sit unoccupied. These three services have dedicated Palm Beach pages with deeper coverage:
Water Damage Restoration in Palm Beach
Water damage in Palm Beach demands specialized protocols for historic materials. Oolitic coral stone and lime plaster wick moisture laterally across walls in ways that standard moisture meters miss without deep-probe readings. We document every reading to IICRC standards with photo records on every visit, producing the drying logs that keep insurance claims payable. Our crews carry Dri-Eaz and Phoenix systems sized for both Mizner-era estates and Intracoastal condominiums. Water Damage Restoration in Palm Beach
Mold Remediation in Palm Beach
Mold in Palm Beach often establishes inside pecky cypress framing and lime plaster during the off-season months when owners are away. By November, colonies can be extensive enough to require Landmarks Preservation Commission review before any historic fabric is disturbed. We scope every job in writing before work begins, document with photo records, and guarantee our work under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Mold Remediation in Palm Beach
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Palm Beach
Fire restoration in Palm Beach faces the same material complexity as water jobs - coral stone spalls under thermal shock, pecky cypress chars unevenly, and historic tile glazes craze at temperatures modern materials tolerate. Smoke odor bonds to lime plaster’s porous surface differently than to standard drywall, requiring vapor pressure differential calculations and tertiary drying protocols. Every job gets a written scope, room-by-room documentation, and direct adjuster coordination. Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Palm Beach

AfterStorm & Disaster Restoration in Palm Beach
Storm and disaster restoration in Palm Beach means responding to structures that can be flooded from two directions at once by saltwater that continues damaging systems long after it recedes. The island’s FEMA AE and VE flood zones mean most properties carry mandatory flood coverage, and our documentation - daily moisture logs, photo records, written scopes - is built specifically to satisfy the adjusters who review those claims. We provide Storm & Disaster Restoration with crews equipped for both emergency stabilization and the long documentation trail Palm Beach insurance claims require.
Storm Damage Cleanup

Standing water in ground-floor rooms, sand or debris deposits against exterior walls, warped flooring, or visible roof damage after sustained winds above 74 mph.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Storm damage cleanup in Palm Beach typically ranges from $2,800 to $6,500 for residential properties, with historic estates requiring specialized material handling at the upper end.
How we do it
We extract standing water with truck-mounted systems, deploy Injectidry and Phoenix drying equipment sized for coral stone and lime plaster, document every moisture reading daily, and coordinate with the Landmarks Preservation Commission before removing any historic fabric.
Flood Damage Restoration
Signs you need it
Water lines on interior walls, buckled hardwood or stone flooring, persistent musty odor after visible water is gone, or corrosion on electrical panels and HVAC components.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Flood damage restoration in Palm Beach generally runs $3,200 to $8,500 depending on affected square footage, with saltwater intrusion requiring additional corrosion mitigation.
How we do it
We pump and extract, establish psychrometric drying targets for historic materials, apply antimicrobial treatments compatible with period surfaces, and deliver a written scope with photo documentation before any reconstruction begins.

Sewage Cleanup in Palm Beach
Sewage cleanup in Palm Beach presents unique challenges in historic structures where original clay sewer lines have settled unevenly over ninety years, and seasonal vacancy means backups can saturate coral stone foundations before anyone discovers them. The same lime plaster and pecky cypress that complicate water restoration become bacterial reservoirs in sewage events, requiring specialized antimicrobial protocols that won’t damage period materials. We provide Sewage Cleanup with background-checked, uniformed technicians who document every step for insurance and health department compliance.
Sewage Backup Cleanup
Signs you need it
Multiple drains backing up simultaneously, gurgling toilets, sewage odor from floor drains, or visible black water in basements or ground-floor rooms.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Sewage backup cleanup in Palm Beach typically ranges from $1,800 to $4,200 depending on affected area and whether historic materials require specialized handling.

Sanitization & Disinfection
Signs you need it
Visible contamination on surfaces, persistent sewage odor after water extraction, or health department requirement following Category 3 water loss.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Sanitization and disinfection in Palm Beach generally runs $800 to $2,400 for residential properties, with whole-estate treatment of historic homes at the upper end.

Will my insurance cover sewage cleanup?
Most homeowner policies cover sudden sewage backup if you have the endorsement; we document with photo records and written scopes, and coordinate directly with your adjuster to maximize claim support. Call (754) 227-6524 for a free estimate.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup in Palm Beach
Biohazard cleanup in Palm Beach requires discretion and precision in a community where privacy expectations are exceptionally high, and where many incidents occur in seasonal residences that may sit undiscovered for extended periods. The same historic materials that define Palm Beach estates - pecky cypress, lime plaster, hand-painted tile - become porous contamination sites in trauma and unattended death scenarios, requiring restoration trades who understand both biohazard protocol and preservation requirements. We provide Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup with technicians who are licensed, insured, background-checked, and trained to document every step for law enforcement and insurance purposes.
Trauma & Unattended Death Cleanup
Signs you need it
Discovery of a deceased person in a residence, decomposition odor, or biological fluids that have penetrated flooring, walls, or HVAC systems.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Trauma and unattended death cleanup in Palm Beach typically ranges from $2,500 to $6,000 depending on duration of undiscovered decomposition and affected square footage.
How we do it

Blood & Bodily Fluid Cleanup
Signs you need it
Visible blood or bodily fluids on porous surfaces, saturation of carpet or upholstery, or splatter reaching walls, ceilings, or ventilation systems.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Blood and bodily fluid cleanup in Palm Beach generally runs $1,200 to $3,800 depending on contamination extent and whether custom millwork or historic fabric requires specialized treatment.
How we do it
We establish containment zones, remove and dispose of contaminated materials per biohazard protocol, treat affected areas with hospital-grade disinfectants, and document all steps with photo records for your insurance file.

Reconstruction & Cleanup in Palm Beach
Reconstruction in Palm Beach is fundamentally different from standard rebuild work because the Landmarks Preservation Commission reviews most exterior alterations and many interior changes in historic structures, requiring period-appropriate materials and documented trades. The same coral stone, pecky cypress, and hand-painted tile that complicate mitigation also constrain reconstruction options, making written scopes with material specifications essential before any work begins. We provide Reconstruction & Cleanup with crews who understand both modern building science and the restoration trades required for Mizner-era compliance.
Full-Service Reconstruction
Signs you need it
Structural damage from storm, fire, or water loss that requires permit submission, or Landmarks Preservation Commission review before any work on historic fabric.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Full-service reconstruction in Palm Beach typically ranges from $15,000 to $75,000 for residential properties, with Mizner-era estates requiring specialized materials and trades at the upper end.

Drywall & Flooring Repair
Signs you need it
Water-stained or sagging drywall, buckled hardwood, lifted stone flooring, or subfloor moisture readings above 16% after mitigation is complete.
What it costs in Palm Beach
Drywall and flooring repair in Palm Beach generally runs $2,400 to $8,500 depending on material matching requirements and whether historic lime plaster walls require specialized finishing.
How we do it
We match materials to existing finishes, repair or replace per written scope, document with photo records at each phase, and verify moisture readings meet drying standards before closing any wall or floor system.

- Noreen S."They told us the subfloor was dry and did not need replacing, which cost them the bigger job. We have recommended them four times since."
- Verity M."Burst supply line upstairs. They had equipment in the house within a few hours and told me honestly which flooring could be saved and which could not."
