Often needed alongside
- Humidity & Moisture Drying

- Storm Surge & Tidal Flooding
Surge and tidal water rise from the ground up and carry salt and silt with them. Anything porous they soaked is treated as contaminated.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the lake side of a Casselberry house stay wetter than the street side?
Almost every address in Casselberry drains toward Lake Jesup, and on a lot that slopes to one of the city's lakes, rain from the street and the upper yard runs downhill past the house. The lake-facing wall, its slab edge and any door on that side sit in the path of that runoff after each June downpour. A swale or grading that carries water around the house, not against it, helps most.
Are some Casselberry lake homes still on septic systems?
Yes. The city's lake management guide notes that several homes on its lakes use septic systems and that sewer is not available everywhere in the city, and state records show some 149 homes with septic systems inside the city limits. Where a drain field sits on the low side of a lot falling toward a lake, it is in the wettest ground, and when June storms fill it, household water rises back toward the lowest drain.
Where does rain that falls on a Casselberry street end up?
Almost every address in the city lies within the Lake Jesup watershed, so the runoff from streets and yards eventually reaches Lake Jesup. On the way it moves downhill, and a house that sits below the street, between it and a lake, is in its path. Driveways and garage doors that face uphill are usually the first places water reaches during a heavy summer storm.
