Cape Coral was drawn on a drafting table in the late 1950s and dredged into being from the marsh and mangrove west of the Caloosahatchee. The result is a city with more canal miles than any other on earth, roughly 400, and a housing stock that sits on hydraulic fill rather than natural high ground.
Fill settles. Seawalls age and lean. Gulf-access canals move surge inland faster than open coastline does, while the freshwater canals north and west flood from rain and river backup instead. The lots platted by the thousands in the Gulf American era were sold long before much of the infrastructure caught up, so building age, soil, and drainage vary block to block.
Everest BCG reads a Cape Coral property for what it actually is, not as generic Florida coastal construction. Conditions are documented, cause is established, and findings are tied to evidence owners, attorneys, insurers, and buyers can use.
