Damage Restoration Services
Boca Raton, FL — Serving Palm Beach County and surrounding South Florida communities
Full-Spectrum Property Damage Restoration
Sonta Restoration provides residential and commercial damage restoration services throughout Boca Raton and Palm Beach County. Since 2011, we've handled water damage, fire and smoke damage, mold remediation, and storm damage for property owners across South Florida — delivering technically sound work backed by IICRC standards and direct accountability to our clients.
Every job we take on gets the same approach: thorough assessment, documented scope of work, properly sized equipment, and professional execution from start to finish. Whether you're dealing with an emergency or planning a remediation, we give you a clear picture of what needs to be done and how we'll do it.
Water Damage Restoration
Water damage is the most common property damage emergency in South Florida. Whether caused by a burst pipe, appliance failure, roof leak, or flooding, unaddressed water damage spreads quickly — saturating drywall, framing, insulation, and flooring within hours and creating conditions for mold growth within 24 to 48 hours.
What This Service Includes
- Emergency water extraction using truck-mounted and portable extraction units
- Structural drying with industrial air movers and low-grain refrigerant (LGR) dehumidifiers
- Moisture mapping using thermal imaging cameras and calibrated moisture meters
- Daily monitoring logs documenting drying progress to IICRC S500 standards
- Removal and disposal of unsalvageable materials (wet drywall, flooring, insulation)
- Anti-microbial treatment to prevent secondary mold growth during the drying phase
- Full documentation for insurance claims including photos, readings, and scope of work
Residential water damage service covers homes, condos, and townhomes throughout Boca Raton and surrounding communities. Common sources include dishwasher failures, toilet overflows, HVAC condensation leaks, and roof intrusion during South Florida's rainy season.
Commercial water damage response includes office buildings, retail spaces, multi-tenant properties, and light industrial facilities. We work efficiently to minimize business disruption while fully documenting the loss for commercial insurance carriers.
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
Fire damage restoration is technically demanding work that goes well beyond cleaning visible char. Smoke travels through wall cavities, HVAC systems, and structural voids — leaving behind acidic soot deposits and persistent odor that continues to damage surfaces and materials long after the fire is extinguished.
What This Service Includes
- Dry soot cleaning and wet cleaning using appropriate techniques matched to surface type
- Thermal fogging and hydroxyl generator treatment for smoke odor elimination
- HVAC cleaning and duct decontamination to prevent odor recirculation
- Structural assessment for fire-damaged framing, joists, and load-bearing elements
- Content inventory, pack-out, and off-site cleaning for salvageable belongings
- Coordination with insurance adjusters, providing full documentation of damaged vs. salvageable materials
- Board-up and emergency securing services immediately following a fire loss
Residential fire restoration includes kitchen fires, electrical fires, and garage fires — all common in South Florida's older housing stock. Smoke damage from even a contained kitchen fire can affect an entire home.
Commercial fire damage restoration addresses the unique challenges of retail, restaurant, and office environments — including accelerated timelines, tenant coordination, and more complex content and equipment inventory.
Mold Remediation
South Florida's heat and humidity make mold growth a persistent challenge for property owners. Mold can establish a colony behind walls, under flooring, and inside HVAC systems following any moisture intrusion event. Sonta Restoration follows IICRC S520 mold remediation protocols to safely contain and remove mold without spreading spores to unaffected areas.
What This Service Includes
- Pre-remediation inspection using moisture meters and visual assessment
- Containment setup with negative air pressure and HEPA-filtered air scrubbers
- Controlled removal of mold-affected building materials (drywall, insulation, flooring)
- HEPA vacuuming and antimicrobial treatment of remaining structural surfaces
- Air clearance testing and post-remediation verification
- Source moisture correction — identifying and addressing the underlying leak or humidity issue
- Full photographic documentation for insurance and compliance purposes
Residential mold remediation is common in Boca Raton due to the region's climate. Bathrooms, laundry rooms, attic spaces, and areas around AC air handlers are frequent problem areas.
Commercial mold remediation often requires after-hours scheduling and faster turnaround to minimize tenant or customer impact. We build timelines around your operational needs where possible.
Storm Damage Cleanup
South Florida's storm season brings high winds, heavy rainfall, and occasional hurricanes that can cause substantial structural and water damage in a single event. Sonta Restoration provides rapid response following storm events — from roof-leak intrusion to partial roof loss, wind-driven water infiltration, and flooding from overwhelmed drainage systems.
What This Service Includes
- Emergency tarping and board-up to prevent further water intrusion
- Interior water extraction and structural drying following roof or window breach
- Debris removal from interior and immediate exterior areas
- Damage documentation for homeowner and commercial property insurance claims
- Assessment of secondary damage — mold risk, structural compromise, electrical hazards
- Coordination with general contractors for subsequent structural repairs
Residential storm response covers single-family homes, condos, and townhomes in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, and neighboring communities. Quick response after a storm limits the extent of secondary water damage.
Commercial storm damage response addresses the larger footprints and more complex roofing systems typical of commercial properties, with priority placed on documentation for commercial claims.
Structural Drying
Structural drying is a science-based process that uses industry-grade equipment and daily monitoring to systematically remove moisture from building materials. Incomplete or improperly executed drying is one of the most common causes of long-term building damage and mold problems following a water loss event.
What This Service Includes
- Psychrometric calculations to determine appropriate equipment type and quantity per cubic foot
- Industrial air movers (axial and centrifugal) placed for optimal airflow patterns
- LGR and desiccant dehumidifiers sized to the structure's moisture load
- Daily moisture readings logged at standardized monitoring points
- Drying goal benchmarks established based on pre-loss material conditions
- Equipment adjustments based on daily readings until verified dry
- Final documentation confirming materials have reached acceptable moisture content
