Emergency Water Damage Restoration in Southeast Cape Coral

Where Cape Coral started

The first Cape Coral homes were built in the southeast in the late 1950s and 1960s, often close to canal level before today's elevation requirements. Many have been expanded and updated, but their floors are still low. That's why the southeast took some of the heaviest surge flooding in the city during Ian, and why many homes here have gone through the 50 percent substantial damage review.

River meets canals

Southeast Cape canals connect directly to the Caloosahatchee near its mouth. Ian's surge pushed river and Gulf water up those canals and over seawalls into streets and homes. The Yacht Club area and riverfront condos flooded as well. Saltwater surge corrodes wiring, fasteners and appliances quickly. See flood cleanup.

Sixty-year-old plumbing

Away from storms, the southeast's older homes have the plumbing problems of their age: galvanized and early copper supply lines, cast iron drains under the slab and water heaters that have been replaced several times. Slab leaks and drain backups are common. See burst pipe repair.
