Fort Myers Homes and How They Get Wet
| Type of home | Common water problems |
|---|---|
| Older homes near downtown and McGregor Boulevard | Aging supply and drain pipes, older roofs, and in some homes raised wood floors where water collects underneath |
| Mid-century ranch homes on slabs | Cast iron drains, supply line and water heater leaks, water under tile |
| Riverfront and downtown condos | Leaks from the unit above, AC closets stacked floor over floor, shared walls |
| Riverfront and canal-front homes | Storm surge and river flooding during hurricanes |
Condo Water Damage in Fort Myers
Downtown and riverfront condo towers mean a lot of Fort Myers water damage starts in someone else's unit. Water from an AC overflow, a failed supply line or a shower pan travels down through ceilings and along pipe openings in the concrete. We dry your unit, keep separate records for each unit and the association, and work with your community manager on access. See condo leaks from the unit above.
Storm Surge and River Flooding
During hurricanes, surge pushes up the Caloosahatchee and into low riverfront and canal-front areas on both sides of the river. Flood and surge water is contaminated, so cleanup means removing soaked drywall, insulation and flooring, sanitizing and drying, with records for your flood insurer. See flood and storm cleanup.
Older Pipes in Older Homes
Many Fort Myers homes built before the 1980s still have original drain and supply lines. Corroded cast iron drains can leak under slabs and tubs or back sewage into showers; see cast iron pipe leaks and sewage cleanup.
