Highland Beach is a barrier island town of oceanfront condo towers and waterfront homes between Boca Raton and Delray Beach. Many residents are seasonal. Leaks between condo units, slow leaks in empty homes, salt air and storm surge drive most water damage here.

Crews start by extracting standing water from floors, carpet and low spots in your Highland Beach home. Getting the bulk of it out early limits how far it spreads.
Drying, cleaning and rebuilding
Dehumidifiers and air movers dry the structure while thermal cameras and moisture meters show where water is hiding. Materials that cannot be dried are removed, surfaces are cleaned, and repairs follow once readings are back to normal.
Flood water cleanup
Storm surge and king tides can flood garages, lobbies and low streets. Water from outside is contaminated, so the cleanup includes removing soaked materials and disinfecting before the home is dried. Flood policies cover this; standard homeowners policies do not.
Why Highland Beach Homes Get Water Damage
Leaks between condo units
A failed supply line, water heater or appliance in one unit can soak the units below and next door before anyone notices.
Owners who are away
When a Highland Beach home sits empty for months, a small leak has time to spread under floors and into walls before anyone sees it.
Salt air and storm surge
Ocean air corrodes pipes, valves, fasteners and AC equipment, and oceanfront and Intracoastal properties are exposed to surge during storms.
Water heaters and supply lines
Water heaters eventually rust through, and flexible supply lines to toilets, sinks and ice makers burst without warning. Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30.
While You Wait for the Crew
- Turn off the water at the main shutoff or at the leaking fixture.
- If it is safe, switch off breakers for rooms with standing water.
- Photograph the water, the source and damaged items.
- Move electronics, papers, rugs and small furniture to a dry room.
- Wipe up what you can, but do not use a household vacuum on water.
- Stay out of rooms with sagging ceilings, and keep pets and children away from contaminated water.
Then call 786-919-0159 if you have not already. The sooner drying starts, the less of your Highland Beach home has to be opened up.

If You Are Away When the Leak Happens
Call 786-919-0159 and say who can provide access, such as a property manager, building staff or neighbor, and ask them to shut off the water if it is still running. Before leaving for the season, shut off the main water valve, set the AC to manage humidity instead of turning it off and arrange regular home checks. Leak sensors and automatic shutoff valves are inexpensive insurance.
Water Damage Insurance Basics for Highland Beach Homeowners
Ask two questions: where did the water come from, and how fast did it happen? A pipe, appliance or water heater that failed suddenly is usually a homeowners or HO-6 claim. Water that came in from outside during a storm is usually a flood insurance claim. A leak that dripped for months is often not covered at all.
Whatever the source, your insurer will want photos taken before cleanup, prompt notice of the claim and proof that you acted to stop further damage. Starting the drying right away checks that box, and the crew’s daily moisture readings and photos give your adjuster a clear record of the job.
Signs of Hidden Water Damage in Highland Beach
Some of the most expensive leaks are the ones nobody sees for weeks. Call to have it checked if you notice:
- A musty smell in a closet, bathroom or near the AC closet
- Stains or bubbling paint on ceilings or walls
- Swollen baseboards, loose tile or cupping wood floors
- Water around the water heater, washer or air handler
- A water bill that jumps for no clear reason
- Slow drains, gurgling or sewage odors
Moisture meters and thermal cameras can find water inside walls and under floors without tearing anything open.
Preventing Mold in Highland Beach Homes After a Leak
Mold needs moisture, warmth and something to feed on, and a wet home in Highland Beach offers all three. Growth can begin in 24 to 48 hours on drywall paper, wood and carpet backing. The best prevention is getting water out fast and drying the structure until meters confirm it is back to normal. If you already see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and let the crew contain the area before removal so spores do not spread to the rest of the house.

Highland Beach Water Damage Questions
Water from the unit above is coming into mine. What should I do?
Turn off power to wet areas if it is safe, protect belongings, take photos, tell building management and call 786-919-0159 so drying starts right away.
Who pays when a neighbor’s leak damages my condo?
It depends on the source and your condo documents. Usually your HO-6 covers your interior, the association covers the structure and the source unit’s owner may be involved.
What should I do while I wait for the crew?
Stop the water at the main shutoff if you can, turn off power to wet areas if it is safe, move belongings off wet floors and take photos. Do not use a household vacuum on water.
How long does it take to dry a home?
Usually about three to five days, depending on how much water there was, which materials got wet and how long it sat. Daily moisture readings confirm when it is done.
Is storm flooding covered by homeowners insurance?
No. Rising outside water is covered by flood insurance. Rain coming in through storm damage to the roof or windows may be covered by your homeowners policy.
