Water Damage Restoration in Jupiter, FL

Water damage in Jupiter, Tequesta and Jupiter Farms usually starts outside with storm water, or inside at a water heater, supply line or AC unit in a house built between the 1970s and the 2000s. Call South Florida Restoration Co and say which one it is. Outside water and clean water from a failed fitting are handled differently, and we’ll send a licensed, insured crew with the right gear for yours.

When high tide holds the rain in

Parts of town drain to the Loxahatchee River with no pumps, so rain leaves only as fast as the river takes it. A heavy storm on a high tide keeps water in the streets and swales longer, and it creeps up driveways, often reaching the garage first. Water that crossed a yard or a street is flood water: soaked drywall is cut out, carpet and padding are pulled up, and the rest is cleaned before drying. Flood cleanup walks through each step.

Homes from the 1980s and 1990s

Most of Jupiter’s housing went up between 1970 and 2009, much of it in planned communities and along the waterways. In houses that age, leaks start at the garage water heater, the braided lines to toilets and faucets, washer hoses, the ice maker line or the air handler in a closet or the garage. Any of them can drip for weeks under a cabinet or inside a wall before a stain or a soft floor shows up.

A clogged condensate drain line sends the overflow onto the closet floor or into the garage. AC leak water damage covers where that water travels.

Waterfront homes on the river and the Intracoastal

Homes with docks and seawalls on the Loxahatchee and the Intracoastal take tide water as well as rain. Near the Inlet the river is brackish, so water that tops a seawall or backs up through a yard drain into a garage or ground floor leaves salt behind. Salt in drywall and wood holds onto moisture from humid air, so those get washed down as well as dried.

Jupiter, Tequesta and Jupiter Farms

Jupiter’s ZIP codes reach north into Tequesta and west to Jupiter Farms, and those addresses are covered along with the town. Don’t see your ZIP? Call anyway and we’ll check your address.

When you call, start with where the water came from: outside in rain or a high tide, or inside from the water heater, fridge or AC. Outside water means soaked materials come out before drying. A clean leak from a fitting can be dried in place.
