Lake Worth Beach, renamed from Lake Worth in 2019, sits on the Lake Worth Lagoon with its downtown along Lake and Lucerne Avenues. Many of its homes are small cottages and bungalows from the early and middle 1900s, which is older than most housing in Palm Beach County.
Older homes bring older problems: roofs that leak in wind-driven rain, original supply lines, and plaster or wood walls that hold water differently than modern drywall. Streets close to the lagoon and Bryant Park sit low, and storm surge or a high king tide can bring outside water up to the door.
The restoration crew checks walls, floors and ceilings with meters, writes down the scope and price before work starts, and dries the home until readings are normal. Water that came in from the lagoon or the street is treated as Category 3, so soaked porous materials are removed.
