Question 1

Accepted Answer

Our IICRC-certified team responds from our Deerfield Beach office — approximately 8 miles from central Tamarac — in 15-20 minutes. For gated 55+ communities like Kings Point, we coordinate with security during dispatch to avoid access delays. We maintain 24/7/365 availability.

Question 2

What does water damage restoration cost in Tamarac?

Accepted Answer

Costs depend on damage category and extent. Minor clean-water losses (HVAC overflow, small supply line break) typically run $1,500-$4,500. Moderate damage involving multiple rooms or condo cross-unit situations ranges $4,500-$10,000. Major flood or polybutylene pipe failure damage can reach $10,000-$30,000+.

Question 3

Why does my AC keep causing water damage in Tamarac?

Accepted Answer

HVAC condensate overflow is Tamarac's #1 water damage source because air conditioners run 365 days/year in South Florida. Condensate drain lines develop algae and biofilm in warm, wet PVC. When blocked, drain pans overflow into walls, ceilings, and floors. In older Tamarac homes (1970s-1990s), drain pans also develop cracks from decades of continuous use. Regular condensate line maintenance is the best prevention.

Question 4

Does my Tamarac home have polybutylene plumbing?

Accepted Answer

If your home was built or plumbed between 1978 and 1995, it may contain polybutylene (PB) pipe — recognizable by its gray color and compression fittings. PB reacts with chlorine in water and develops internal micro-cracks that fail catastrophically without warning. Insurance companies are increasingly reluctant to insure homes with known PB plumbing. If you experience a water loss and PB is identified, the entire system is typically flagged for replacement.

Question 5

Does Palm Build handle Kings Point condo water damage?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Kings Point's 4,869 units across 13 sub-neighborhoods are a core focus. We understand the dual-approval HOA process, navigate security and access logistics, coordinate multi-unit assessments when a single leak affects 6-10 units, and document losses for both HO-6 and master policy claims.

Question 6

What are Florida's insurance claim deadlines?

Accepted Answer

Florida law requires claim notice within 1 year of date of loss, supplemental claims within 18 months (Fla. Stat. 627.70132). For storm losses, the 'date of loss' is verified by NOAA. AOB assignments are banned for policies issued after January 1, 2023. Missing these deadlines can void your coverage. Our documentation process is built to protect your filing timeline.

Question 7

Is my Tamarac home in a flood zone?

Accepted Answer

Over 5,000 Tamarac properties are required to carry flood insurance. The July 2024 Broward FIRM update moved 88,913 county parcels back into flood zones — many Tamarac homeowners who believed they were in low-risk Zone X may now require flood insurance. Tamarac's FEMA Class 6 CRS rating does provide a 20% premium discount for NFIP policyholders in Special Flood Hazard Areas.

Question 8

Accepted Answer
