What Fort Myers does to an empty house
A downtown condo, a 1920s home on McGregor and a villa in a golf community fail in different ways. These are the problems we look for in each.
Riverfront and high-rise condos
In a condo, a failed AC drain or water heater does not stay in your unit. It travels to the one below. We check drains, supply lines, the water heater and the AC closet on every visit.
Condo watch →Older homes along McGregor
Historic homes come with older plumbing, older roofs and big trees overhead. We check ceilings, under every sink and around the roofline from the ground, and note anything that has changed since the last visit.
Gated golf communities
Every community runs its gate and rules a little differently. We set up access with yours before the first visit, and many associations ask owners to name a local contact while they are away. That can be us.
Hurricane season
In 2022, Ian pushed the river into downtown and the neighborhoods along McGregor. We put up shutters before a storm, check the house as soon as it is safe, and fly a drone over the roof for your insurer.
Storm services →Summer heat and humidity
A closed-up home in August can grow mildew in days if the AC quits. We record the indoor humidity every visit and check the AC, the drain line and the air handler.
Alarms and the 2 a.m. call
Whether your home is inside city limits or in unincorporated Lee County, someone local has to answer when the alarm goes off. We can be the keyholder on your alarm call list, 24/7.
