Water damage restoration is the whole job after water gets loose: finding where it went, pulling it out, drying the structure and removing what cannot be saved. In Boca Raton that usually means tile set on a concrete slab, drywall that wicks water up from the floor and kitchen cabinets that trap it underneath.
The restoration crew sorts the water first, using the IICRC S500 standard. Category 1 is clean water from a supply line or ice maker. Category 2 is gray water, such as a washer overflow or AC condensate that sat in a pan. Category 3 is sewage or storm water that rose from outside, and wet porous materials touched by it have to go.
Drying in Boca Raton is mostly a fight with humidity. Air movers push moisture out of the materials, and dehumidifiers pull it out of the air before it settles back into the walls. Readings are logged every day until wood, drywall and slab read normal. Loose tile that sounds hollow, swollen baseboards and a musty closet all mean the water spread farther than it looks.
