Located in Indian River County, Sebastian is a community built around rivers, bays, and canals of roughly 25,000 residents. Sebastian is an Indian River County city on the lagoon, near Sebastian Inlet State Park and the Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge. Water damage here follows the pattern of the area: waterfront homes on canals, rivers, and bays, often only a few feet above the water. When water gets into one of those buildings, the clock starts immediately, because Florida's warm, humid air lets mold begin growing in as little as 24 to 48 hours.
Sebastian sits roughly 20 feet above sea level. If you are dealing with a leak, a flooded room, or storm damage in Sebastian, call (305) 789-7628 any time, day or night.

Why water damage happens in Sebastian
Barrier-island homes near Vero Beach and Sebastian deal with salt air and wind-driven rain, while mainland neighborhoods along the lagoon and canals deal with rising groundwater and drainage that backs up in long storms.
Water damage in Sebastian usually comes from a short list of causes. These are the ones to watch for:
- High tides and king tides that push water into low streets and yards
- Storm surge that overtops seawalls and enters lower floors and garages
- Rising groundwater and sewer or septic backups when the ground is saturated
- Flooding from heavy rain when canals, rivers, and drainage systems fill faster than they can drain
