Three things to know about Palm Beach
- FEMA's National Risk Index expects coastal flooding to cost about $46 a year for every $100,000 of building value in Palm Beach's ZIP codes.
- Expected inland flood losses in Palm Beach's ZIP codes run about $43 a year per $100,000 of building value, against $63 across Palm Beach County.
- 43% of homes in Palm Beach are kept for seasonal or occasional use.
Palm Beach homes and water
Palm Beach housing is old and mostly in condo buildings. Census figures show 71% of homes were built before 1980, against 34% across Palm Beach County, and 16% before 1950. Older pipes, water heaters and shutoff valves are common leak sources, and plaster walls in the oldest houses hold water longer than drywall.
With 67% of homes in buildings of 5 or more units, a leak upstairs often becomes ceiling leak repair in the unit below. Only 17% of homes are rented, so owners and associations usually make the call.
Empty homes and the ocean shape the rest. About 43% of homes are kept for seasonal use, so a leak can run for days unseen. On FEMA's National Risk Index, yearly coastal flood loss is $46 per $100,000 of building value, against 3 for the county. Storm water is Category 3, and flood damage restoration begins with removing what it soaked.

What the Palm Beach figures mean for a water job
Palm Beach homes are much older than the county's. Census figures show 16% of homes were built before 1950, against 3% across Palm Beach County, and 71% before 1980. The crew checks for plaster, old galvanized lines and original valves, which change how walls are dried and what gets removed.
The ocean adds the second risk. Yearly coastal flood loss stands at $46 per $100,000 of building value in FEMA's National Risk Index, against 5 for Florida. FEMA flood insurance records show 6.7 claims per 1,000 homes from 2016 to 2025, above the county's 1.6. Call your insurance company before storm season to ask what your policy covers.
Seasonal homes complete the picture. About 43% are kept for occasional use, against 10% countywide, so water mitigation here often starts after a leak has run for days.

Before the crew arrives in Palm Beach
In a Palm Beach condo, the first move is the shutoff valve for your unit, usually in a closet, under a sink or beside the water heater. If you cannot find it, ask the building engineer or manager to close the riser. With 67% of homes in buildings with 5 or more units, the manager should hear about any leak right away, because water travels to the floors below. Switch off the breakers to wet rooms. Photograph the water, its source and the damage before moving anything, then carry rugs, art and papers to a dry room. If you are away, as owners of the 43% of homes kept for seasonal use often are, ask someone with a key to start these steps. If the water came from a toilet or floor drain, keep people out, because that job is sewage cleanup. Water mitigation should begin within 24 to 48 hours, and 911 Water Damage Fix answers 24/7.
