Wind and water in Boca Raton
Hurricane wind and summer thunderstorms reach every street in Boca Raton. We board up broken openings, tarp damaged roofs, extract water, and dry the structure. Roof repairs go to a licensed roofer.
Boca Raton is a city in southern Palm Beach County on Florida's Atlantic coast, with the Intracoastal Waterway, canal and golf communities, and oceanfront condominiums. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 97,980 residents in Boca Raton. The median year of construction is about 1982, so many homes were built before Florida's post-2002 hurricane building-code updates. Condo and multi-unit buildings in Boca Raton share walls, ceilings, and HVAC, so one unit's water or smoke often reaches neighbors. Older housing in Boca Raton often has aging supply lines, water heaters, and roofs that have been through several storms.
What we do after a Boca Raton storm
- Close broken openings with metal panels.
- Put an emergency tarp over roof damage until a roofer can make repairs.
- Extract storm and flood water from floors and carpet.
- Cut out wet materials that will not dry in place.
- Document wind damage and flood damage separately for your insurers.
Stay safe first
- Do not wade through standing water.
- Photograph damage inside and out before cleanup.
- Report the claim to your insurer as soon as you can.
Claims paperwork
Wind damage is usually a homeowners claim; rising water usually needs a flood policy. We document each source separately with photos, readings, and a written scope. You keep the claim; we are not a public adjuster.
Boca Raton housing at a glance
About 42% of units are in buildings with 10 or more units, so wind-driven rain gets in around sliders and windows on upper floors. Roughly 9% of housing units are held for seasonal or recreational use; storm damage is often found days later by a neighbor or manager. The Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey puts Boca Raton at about 97,980 residents. The median home in Boca Raton was built around 1982 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey); homes built before 2002 predate the statewide Florida Building Code and its stronger wind provisions.
