Mobile Home Leveling in Suncoast Estates, Florida

Suncoast Estates sits about 1.5 miles in a straight line from the middle of North Fort Myers, and the area between Mellow Drive and Bayshore Road is one of the places where North Fort Myers mobile homes cluster. If your home there has sticking doors, a sloping floor or slack straps, call us. Typical relevel ranges are $450 to $800 for a singlewide and $750 to $1,400 for a doublewide; we quote your home in writing after a look underneath.

Ground and water

Suncoast Estates is nearly surrounded by North Fort Myers, where the ground is mostly poorly drained flatwood sand, with a water table often within 10 to 40 inches of the surface for much of the year. Wet sand under a pier pad can let the pier sink, and water ponding under a home keeps softening the same spots. Florida Rule 15C-1 asks for the ground under a home to be graded so water does not pond there, so on a Suncoast Estates relevel we look at drainage as well as the piers.

Wind and anchors

Lee County is HUD Wind Zone III (110 mph design wind). Florida’s rule calls for approved galvanised auger anchors set for the soil class, 180 square inch stabiliser plates, diagonal frame ties no more than 5 feet 4 inches apart, and longitudinal ties; coral anchors do not meet Zone III. See tie-downs and anchors.

Flood zones

Much of North Fort Myers by area is in a FEMA flood zone, and the zone varies from park to park. If a job counts as replacing or substantially improving a home in a flood zone, Lee County requires the home to be elevated so its lowest floor is at base flood elevation plus one foot (the bottom of the frame in VE and Coastal A zones), verified by a registered surveyor. Let us know your zone before planning a large job.
