AfterFast, Reliable Storm & Disaster Restoration Across West Palm Beach
Storm damage in West Palm Beach moves fast, and so do we. When wind-driven rain gets behind stucco or a canal overflows into a 1950s CBS home, the clock starts on hidden moisture that standard drying crews miss entirely. DryMark Restoration responds to West Palm Beach neighborhoods day or night, with a live person answering at (629) 213-4606 and a written scope in your hands before any work begins. We document every reading, every photo, every drying log so your claim has the evidence adjusters actually pay on.
Our Storm & Disaster Restoration team knows what a post-storm CBS block cavity looks like on a moisture meter, and we know what to do about it.
Why DryMark Restoration Is West Palm Beach’s Preferred Storm & Disaster Restoration Company
Most restoration companies approach West Palm Beach the same way they approach Orlando or Tampa: extract visible water, set air movers, leave. That misses what makes this city’s housing stock different. The West Palm Beach homes we work in are predominantly concrete block structures with stucco exteriors, and when hurricane-driven rain saturates those walls, the block cores act as reservoirs. Surface readings look dry in days. The inside of the wall stays wet for weeks. We probe block cavities with moisture meters before declaring a structure dry, because that’s what the building actually requires.
Alicia Brennan founded DryMark in 2011 after watching too many West Palm Beach-area homeowners lose claims to vague documentation. Every job since has carried The Haven Standard: written price before work starts (Clause 1), photo record on every visit, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. No verbal assurances. No scope creep once the crew is inside. Just evidence.

Flood Damage Restoration
Floodwater in West Palm Beach comes from two directions at once. Hurricane bands push rain through roof and window openings while the SFWMD canal network and Intracoastal surge push contaminated water up from below. Those are two distinct loss categories requiring separate containment and different drying protocols. We classify, contain, extract, and dry each source independently, with daily moisture logs that name the equipment used and the readings recorded.
Storm Damage Cleanup
After a storm passes, the damage that matters most in a CBS home is what you can’t see. We remove wind-blown debris, document exterior envelope breaches, and probe behind stucco for hidden saturation before the mold clock runs out. In neighborhoods like Flamingo Park and El Cid, where 1920s Mediterranean Revival stucco meets 80 years of hurricane exposure, that exterior probe is the difference between a cleanup and a rebuild.
Roof Tarping
In West Palm Beach, tarping is the move to make before the next afternoon thunderstorm, not after. Seasonal rain patterns mean a small roof breach becomes a wet ceiling within 48 hours. We install reinforced tarps over damaged roof sections immediately after a storm event, documenting the affected area with photos before and after installation. That photo record matters later when your adjuster reviews the claim.
Emergency Board-Up
Broken windows and compromised doors leave a property open to looting, animal entry, and more water. We board up openings in West Palm Beach homes and commercial buildings as a first priority after wind events, then provide written scope documentation of the boarding and the damage behind it. The same team handles both the board-up and the eventual reconstruction, which keeps your claim file coherent from day one.

We stock and deploy professional drying systems from B-Air and Injectidry, with all work documented to IICRC and RIA standards. For West Palm Beach’s masonry construction, we lean on Injectidry’s vacuum panel and wall cavity systems, because standard floor-based air movers don’t pull moisture out of a hollow block core. Our drying logs name the equipment, the placement, and the psychrometric readings taken at each visit. That’s the documentation insurance companies respond to.
Common Storm & Disaster Restoration Problems We See in West Palm Beach Homes
- Hidden moisture behind CBS stucco. Block cavities wick and hold hurricane-driven water for weeks after surface materials read dry, seeding mold colonies that don’t surface for three to six weeks without aggressive cavity drying.
- Snowbird absentee damage. Seasonal owners on the Intracoastal side leave in May and return in November. A storm event in September means water sits for weeks before anyone sees it. By the time we’re called, simple extraction has become mold remediation plus structural work.
- Dual-source water intrusion. Wind-driven roof leaks and canal or surge flooding often happen on the same property in the same storm. That means clean Category 1 water from the roof and contaminated Category 2 or 3 water from the ground, requiring separate containment zones and different antimicrobial protocols.
- Aging stucco on legacy construction. In historic districts like Northwood Hills and Flamingo Park, decades-old stucco has micro-cracks that admit wind-blown rain invisibly. Surface inspections miss this. Probing behind the stucco doesn’t.
Pricing for Storm & Disaster Restoration in West Palm Beach, FL
We give written prices before work begins, every time. No exceptions. No call-to-hear-a-number. For West Palm Beach homes, here’s what that looks like:
| Service | Typical West Palm Beach Range |
|---|---|
| Roof tarping (emergency, includes labor and materials) | $450-$950 |
| Flood water extraction and drying (single room, Category 1) | $1,400-$3,200 |
| CBS block cavity drying (Injection or vacuum panel, per wall section) | $800-$1,800 |
| Storm debris removal and site clearing | $350-$1,200 |
| Full storm cleanup with containment and mold prevention | $3,000-$8,500 |
What shifts a price in West Palm Beach specifically: whether the block cavities are saturated (higher drying cost, more equipment days), whether the water is Category 1 roof water or Category 2/3 canal surge (antimicrobial treatment and disposal requirements), and whether the property has been sitting unoccupied. A snowbird home that sat wet for six weeks costs more to restore than a primary residence that called within a day. That’s not markup. That’s scope.

FAQs - Storm & Disaster Restoration in West Palm Beach
A 1950s CBS home in West Palm Beach hides water in hollow block cores that wood-frame construction simply doesn’t have. In Miami wood-frame, water shows up in drywall and framing quickly; in West Palm Beach masonry, surface materials can read bone dry while the block cavities behind them hold 60%+ moisture. That’s why our West Palm Beach protocol includes cavity probing with moisture meters on every storm job, not just floor and wall surface readings.
If you own a seasonal home in West Palm Beach and you’re away during hurricane season, have someone check the property within 48 hours after any named storm passes. Water that sits in a CBS home for six weeks becomes a mold and structural problem, not a cleanup. We can coordinate with your property manager or neighbor to assess and document damage while you’re still up north, with the written scope and photo record sent to you before any work begins.
Yes, in most cases. We use Injectidry vacuum panel systems and targeted cavity injection to pull moisture from block cores without tearing off stucco. The process takes longer than surface drying, typically seven to ten days depending on saturation levels. We document psychrometric readings daily so you can see the moisture content dropping in the log.
We treat them as separate loss types on the same property. Roof water is usually Category 1, which means standard extraction and drying. Canal or surge water is Category 2 or 3, which requires containment, antimicrobial treatment, and often material removal. Running both protocols on one property requires separating the work zones and documenting each independently. We do this routinely in West Palm Beach, especially in homes flanking the Intracoastal and canal network.
Because water that enters a roof system during a hurricane often travels horizontally across ceiling joists before it finds a visible entry point. The ceiling may look dry while the insulation and framing above it are saturated. Tarping stops additional water entry while your claim is filed and assessed. The tarp is temporary, but the damage it prevents from becoming permanent is not. Call (629) 213-4606 for tarping dispatch in West Palm Beach, usually within hours of your call.
