Water damage & mold help in Fort Myers, FL
Fort Myers sits on the Caloosahatchee River in Southwest Florida. In September 2022, Hurricane Ian made landfall nearby with a catastrophic storm surge that flooded homes along the river and across Iona and Fort Myers Beach. Hurricane Charley struck in 2004 and Irma in 2017. Summer rainy season, heat, humidity and seasonal homes make water damage and mold a constant risk.

Fort Myers homes and water damage
McGregor and the River District have 1920s–1950s homes, many with original plumbing. Whiskey Creek and Iona have mostly 1970s–1990s concrete-block slab homes, and many residents live in condos and manufactured home communities. Many homes damaged by Ian were repaired with mixed materials, so moisture readings matter after any new water damage.
Storm surge
Hurricane Ian's 2022 surge flooded homes along the Caloosahatchee and across Iona, soaking drywall, flooring and garages.
Hurricane wind damage
Charley, Irma and Ian tore roofs and screen enclosures, letting heavy rain into attics and ceilings.
Seasonal-home leaks
Many owners leave for the summer, and an AC failure or slow leak in a closed home can grow mold for weeks.
Humidity and mold
Southwest Florida heat and humidity grow mold within a couple of days on wet materials.
AC condensate overflows
Air conditioning runs most of the year, and clogged drain lines spill into ceilings and closets.

Fort Myers questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Fort Myers?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Fort Myers Community Development department or Lee County.
Do I need flood insurance in Fort Myers?
Homeowners policies exclude flood. Recent storms flooded many homes outside high-risk zones, so a separate flood policy is worth considering.
