Flood cleanup starts once the water stops rising. In Boca Raton that often means a garage or a ground-floor condo after a tropical storm, or a room on a low street after a king tide pushed water past the threshold. What is left behind is silt, debris and wet materials that start to smell within a day in summer heat.
The restoration crew removes everything porous the water touched, including carpet, pad, upholstered furniture and drywall below the wet line. Tile floors are scrubbed, grout lines are cleaned and the slab is checked with a meter. Salt water from surge gets a fresh-water rinse so salt does not stay in the walls.
Before you start on your own, take photos of the water line on the walls and of every damaged item. Wear rubber boots and gloves, because flood water can carry sewage and bacteria. Keep power off to wet rooms until an electrician or the crew says it is safe.
