Greenacres is a central Palm Beach County city built around Jog Road, Lake Worth Road, Military Trail and 10th Avenue North. Most homes are single-story concrete block houses on slabs, many from the 1970s and 1980s, along with townhome and condo communities. Drainage canals run through the area, managed by the Lake Worth Drainage District.
In older Greenacres homes, water damage often starts with an original water heater, a supply line under a sink or an AC condensate line that clogged. The water spreads under tile and wicks up the drywall at the floor. During heavy summer rain, low yards near the canals can hold water against the house.
The restoration crew checks the slab, walls and cabinets with meters, writes down the scope and price before work starts, and dries everything until readings are normal. Photos and logs are kept for the insurance claim.
