On the lagoon
El Cid's eastern blocks face the lagoon along Flagler Drive. Surge and king tides raise the lagoon, and water can top the seawall and reach low streets and yards. Homes closest to the water are the most exposed. See flood cleanup.
Barrel tile and flat roofs
Many El Cid homes have barrel tile roofs, some with flat sections behind parapets. Tile lasts for decades, but the underlayment beneath fails sooner, and water runs under the tiles into the attic. Flat sections leak at scuppers and seams. See ceiling and roof leak repair.
Restoring historic homes
Plaster walls, original tile floors, wood windows and decorative details are part of El Cid's character. Drying them carefully saves materials that are hard to replace. Exterior changes in the historic district may need review, and we'll flag that early.
