What has been happening in Deerfield Beach

  • Local 10 reported 6.5 inches of rain in Deerfield Beach on Saturday, October 17.
  • A flood advisory covered parts of Deerfield Beach north of Pompano Beach that day.

What we see in Deerfield Beach homes

  • Wet carpet and pad. The pad holds water like a sponge and stays wet long after the carpet feels dry, which is where the musty smell comes from.
  • Condos and townhomes with shared walls and ceilings. A leak in one unit shows up next door, and the damp can travel past the wall you can see.
  • Stucco homes and sliding doors. Wind-driven rain gets in at windows, slider tracks and the base of the wall.
  • Older roofs after a hard rain. A leak can soak the insulation first, and the stain shows days later.

Common questions

Water got in during the October 17 storm. Is it too late to call?

No, call now. Every day matters, but wet is wet, and a house that has been damp for two weeks still needs drying. After that long, check the places you cannot see: the bottom of the drywall, behind baseboards, under carpet pad and inside cabinet bases. The EPA says wet materials should be dried within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth, so if the water has sat since October 17, you are past that window. That does not mean the house is lost. It means we need moisture readings to find out how far the damage has spread, and we tell you what we find. Report it to your insurer soon, too. Florida's claim notice law gives you one year at most from the date of loss to report a new claim, and an adjuster will ask when the damage started. We take photos and readings and write the scope for your adjuster.

My carpet got wet in the storm. Should I dry it or replace it?

It depends on how long it was wet and what the water was. Carpet that got a small amount of clean rain water and was dried quickly can sometimes be saved. The pad underneath often cannot, because it holds water like a sponge and stays wet long after the carpet feels dry. If the water came from the ground, a flooded yard or a storm drain backing up, the carpet usually goes, because that water carries dirt and bacteria. We lift a corner, take readings on the pad and the slab, and tell you what we see. Pulling wet carpet and pad early protects the floor underneath and the bottom of the walls. Our wet carpet guide explains the signs. Once the slab is dry, we install new pad and carpet, or the flooring you prefer instead.
