Stucco repair in Cape Coral
Hurricane Ian came ashore on Cayo Costa on September 28, 2022, with winds the hurricane center puts at 130 knots, about 150 mph. In Pine Island, Cape Coral and the other towns at the mouth of the Caloosahatchee, the surge put 6 to 9 feet of water over the ground. Water-level sensors in Matlacha and Cape Coral were lost. Across Lee County, more than 52,000 structures were hit, and over 14,000 had major damage.
This is a young place to take a storm like that. The median home in the Cape Coral metro was built in 2000, and only about two in a hundred predate 1960, Census estimates show.
If surge water sat against your house, watch the walls as they dry out. A white, chalky crust is efflorescence: salts carried to the surface by water moving through the wall. The Park Service's moisture guide says to take it off masonry with a non-metal bristle brush. If it keeps coming back, a federal building bulletin says that can point to too much moisture inside the wall, and that's worth sorting out before anyone seals it under fresh paint.
