Water damage restoration on Marco Island centers on canal homes and beachfront condos. Hurricane Irma made landfall on Marco Island in 2017, and Hurricane Ian's surge in 2022 pushed Gulf water into streets, garages and ground floors across the island.
Most single-family homes back onto saltwater canals, many built on raised stem walls or pilings. Surge water carries salt and silt, so drywall, insulation and flooring it touched come out, and wiring and AC equipment are checked. Condos along Collier Boulevard see leaks between units from AC drains and supply lines.
