Downpours flood low streets. Seasonal high tides flood low streets near the Intracoastal and the Inlet.
Many homes are 1970s–1990s villas and condos in retirement communities. Many Boynton Beach residents live in 1970s–1990s retirement communities with villas and condos that share walls, roofs and plumbing, so a leak in one unit can affect neighbors. Many owners are seasonal, and slow leaks and AC failures can run for weeks before anyone notices. Older homes near downtown and the Inlet have cast-iron drains and aging supply lines, and concrete-block walls absorb wind-driven rain. Many villas share roofs with neighbors, so a failed roof seam or clogged drain on one unit can send water into the unit next door, and associations and owners split responsibility for repairs.
Licensing in Florida: Florida licenses mold assessors and mold remediators through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), and licenses contractors through the Construction Industry Licensing Board. Verify both with DBPR's license search.

Sewage & Biohazard Cleanup questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Boynton Beach?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Boynton Beach Building division.
Do I need flood insurance in Boynton Beach?
Homeowners policies exclude flood. Recent storms flooded many homes outside high-risk zones, so a separate flood policy is worth considering.
Can I clean up a small sewage backup myself?
A small backup on a hard, non-porous floor sometimes can be with gloves, boots and disinfectant. Anything that reached carpet, drywall or other porous materials needs professional cleanup.
Does homeowners insurance cover sewage backups?
Usually only with a sewer or drain backup endorsement. Flooding from outside needs a flood policy.
