Melbourne Beach Cleanup and Restoration

Melbourne Beach is Brevard County’s oldest beach community. In 1879, a hotel, the Oak Lodge, was built for researchers and naturalists on a 164-acre location near Aquarina. In 1921, the Melbourne Causeway was built, connecting Melbourne Beach to the mainland.

In the early part of the 1900’s an oceanfront business called the Casino was a town focal point. Its main use was as a recreational hall, but it did indeed have slot machines for gambling. Some of its other features include a swimming pool and small concrete cubicles that could be rented out overnight, almost like early-versions of motel rooms. In addition to events at the Casino, there were other recreational activities around town including Sunday school meetings, a public library, Bingo nights, and The Iceman’s Ball. By the time of The Great Depression, the population growth was still relatively stagnant. Through World War II there were still no more than one hundred residents in town.

The real population boost came with the development of our nation’s Rocket Program at Cape Canaveral beginning in the late 1950’s; it brought enormous change to surrounding areas, including population increases and economic prosperity. Our town experienced commercial growth, the creation of a busy two-lane state road that cut straight through town, and the installation of our first stoplight. In spite of all this change, Melbourne Beach was able to preserve much of its past and original charm. Even today, everything one needs is within walking distance, and bicycles are everywhere. There are now over three thousand people who call the town home.

Living on the coasts of Florida is a dream for many homeowners. In Florida, our coastal areas are prone to floods and storms and home and business owners must often take steps to prepare for these events. With our normally warmer temperatures, having our professionals assess your water/storm damage restoration quickly can save you thousands of dollars in repairs. The damage that water can do is sometimes worse than a fire in older buildings. You need to be vigilant about a few important areas of the building. Our water damage restoration professionals are available 24/7.
