Average to Severe Flooding of Naples Homes
The average flooding of Naples homes is characterized by the fast rise and recession of floodwater. This relatively short exposure to water does little damage to a house, but the flooding that occurred in Naples homes during Hurricane Katrina could not be considered your average flooding.
Most of the damage to Naples homes was “sustained in the first four feet of flooding above the first floor.” Adding to the negative impact of the flooding was the length of time contaminated floodwater was left stagnant.
Many Naples homeowners were forced to rip out carpets and wallboard after the flooding, but the most unlucky owners have learned that their foundations have been affected.
Some of the most common structural damage that appeared in Naples homes after the flooding was caused by “water and mud pushing against the side walls of the foundation.” The foundation pilings of many homes were also greatly compromised by weakened soil.
