AfterDamage Restoration Before & After in Boynton Beach, FL
Photos don’t exaggerate. The meter reads what it reads, the drywall tells you how long the water’s been there, and the after shot either matches the scope or it doesn’t. We’ve documented every job in Boynton Beach since 2011 because the documentation gap is where legitimate claims get denied. Here’s what that looks like on the wall.
Recent Transformations
Water Damage Restoration: Burst Supply Line in Canyon Isles
The meter read 28% moisture content in the MDF baseboards, well above the 16% equilibrium we expect in Boynton Beach’s summer humidity. A refrigerator supply line in a Canyon Isles kitchen had been spraying for roughly 14 hours based on the migration pattern we mapped, 340 square feet affected across the kitchen and adjacent laundry. We deployed a Phoenix 200 MAX dehumidifier and Dri-Eaz AirWolf axial fans, established a vapor pressure differential of 17 grains per pound, and produced daily psychrometric data logs. Tertiary drying, that’s the final phase where we drop air movement and let the dehumidifier pull the last bound moisture from the studs, took 72 hours. The photo record, the drying log, and the written scope went to the adjuster as a single package. Total downtime: 6 days. Haven Standard, Clause 1: $4,200 written price before the first fan switched on.
Mold Remediation: Attic Infestation in Hunters Run
The bathroom exhaust fan in this Hunters Run home had been dumping humid air into the attic for two cooling seasons, a classic Boynton Beach scenario we see when flexible duct separates from the roof jack. The sheathing showed Chaetomium and Cladosporium across 180 square feet, with airborne spore counts elevated in the living space below. We established negative air pressure with HEPA filtration, removed the contaminated sheathing per IICRC S520, treated the remaining structure with an EPA-registered antimicrobial, and sealed the exposed framing with a mold-resistant coating. Post-remediation verification, that’s the air and surface sampling we send to a third-party lab, came back below detection limits. The written scope included replacing the exhaust duct with rigid metal and a proper roof jack, because the mold comes back if the moisture source doesn’t get fixed. Alicia Brennan scoped this one personally; the $3,800 price included the ventilation repair, not an upsell after the crew arrived.
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration: Kitchen Grease Fire in Aberdeen
Protein fires, that’s grease and animal fat, they don’t char dramatically but the smoke is nearly invisible and the odor is persistent. This Aberdeen kitchen had a flash fire from a stovetop pan that the homeowner knocked down with a dry chem extinguisher, which added corrosive powder to the residue profile. We tested surfaces with pH strips, found alkaline conditions from the extinguisher that would have compromised the finish on the maple cabinetry if left untreated. Our crew used ultrasonic cleaning for the removable hardware and contents, thermal fogging for the structural odor, and soda blasting on the charred studs behind the range. The reconstruction phase, that’s where we differ from mitigation-only contractors, included new drywall, custom-matched cabinet doors, and a written price of $7,400 before demolition started. The photo record showed pH readings, moisture levels, and finish matches at each stage. The adjuster paid the full invoice in 11 days.
Storm & Disaster Restoration: Hurricane Nicole Roof Intrusion in Boynton Lakes
Hurricane Nicole in November 2022 caught a lot of Boynton Lakes homes with aging ridge vents, this one included. Wind-driven rain entered through a lifted vent and followed the rafter bay for 22 feet before the ceiling saturated and collapsed in the master bedroom. We responded within 90 minutes of the call, which came at 6:40 AM when the homeowner woke to drywall in her bed. Emergency tarping stopped the active intrusion, then we removed 14 bags of wet cellulose insulation, dried the framing to 12% moisture content using Injectidry hose systems in the enclosed soffit, and reconstructed with mold-resistant drywall and blown-in fiberglass. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covered us here; we had to return once when a paint blister indicated residual moisture in a double-stud corner we’d missed on the initial readings. No charge, no argument, just fixed it. Total project: $11,600, written in full before the tarp went on.
Sewage Cleanup: Backed-Up Main Line in Quantum Park
Category 3 water, that’s sewage or any water that’s left its source and picked up contaminants, and in Boynton Beach’s flat coastal terrain with aging clay mains, we see it when the municipal line backs up during heavy rain. This Quantum Park home took roughly 80 gallons through a floor drain when the neighborhood main surged. We treated it as a biohazard from the first step: full PPE, negative air, removal of all porous materials that contacted the water, including the engineered wood flooring and lower 24 inches of drywall. Non-porous surfaces got a three-step clean, disinfect with an EPA-registered virucide, then HEPA vacuum. The meter doesn’t lie here either; we documented pre-treatment ATP readings of 12,847 RLU, post-treatment at 12 RLU, well below the 30 RLU threshold for safe occupancy. The $5,900 scope included flooring replacement and baseboard reinstallation, not a separate contractor the homeowner had to coordinate. Photo record, drying log, waste manifest, and clearance letter went to the city and the insurance adjuster.
Reconstruction & Cleanup: Full-Scope Rebuild After Long-Term Leak in Indian Spring
This Indian Spring home had a slab leak that the previous owner patched three times without addressing the source, a story we hear too often in Boynton Beach’s 1980s construction with copper lines in corrosive soil. By the time we arrived, the particleboard subfloor had delaminated across the entire kitchen, the cabinet bases were swelling, and the tile had hollow drumming over 90% of the surface. We don’t do mitigation and walk away on jobs like this. The reconstruction scope included jackhammering the slab to access and replace the leaking section with PEX, pouring a new moisture barrier and subfloor, and installing custom shaker cabinets with soft-close hardware that matched the homeowner’s selected finish. Total timeline: 14 days, with the drying and reconstruction phases clearly separated in the written scope so the adjuster understood what was mitigation and what was property improvement. $14,200, every line item priced before work started, Haven Standard, Clause 1. The daily moisture logs from the drying phase were included as supporting documentation for the reconstruction invoice.
