Our Work
Recent water damage restoration projects.
Pipe burst, hurricane surge, slab leak, AC overflow, or roof leak — water damage is a clock. Every hour you wait, the mold pressure doubles. Our crew dispatches 24/7 with truck-mounted extraction, structural drying, and moisture mapping. Direct insurance billing.
The two things insurance adjusters look for in a water claim: was the mitigation prompt, and was it documented? We win both. Trucks roll within 1-2 hours of your call (faster from whichever of our two offices is closer). Daily moisture readings, photo logs, and equipment counts go to your adjuster in real time.
Fort Myers covers everything from historic McGregor Boulevard estates to high-rise condos along Edison Mall to the inland developments off SR-82. Slab leaks are the dominant claim type in older McGregor neighborhoods (1950s-1970s copper plumbing), while high-rise condos see vertical water travel across multiple units when a single unit leaks.
Our Fort Myers crew works across the full city — from Edison & Ford Winter Estates, Downtown River District, Centennial Park, JetBlue Park (Red Sox spring training), Bell Tower Shops, McGregor Boulevard — and we're familiar with how water damage restoration scope changes between Downtown River District and McGregor Boulevard.
Fort Myers disaster history: Hurricane Ian (2022 — significant), Hurricane Irma (2017), historic 1926 Miami hurricane. Multi-storm cumulative moisture damage is common here — we untangle which damage came from which storm in our insurance documentation.
A copper pinhole under a 1962 McGregor Boulevard estate and a hose-bib failure in a 14th-floor unit overlooking the Caloosahatchee are two completely different mitigation files. Fort Myers' housing mix — historic estates west of downtown, mid-century riverfront homes, and the high-rise corridor along US-41 near Edison Mall — means a single water-damage company has to run three playbooks. The IICRC S500 categories still apply; the access, documentation, and stop-loss decisions do not transfer between them.
Most McGregor Boulevard estates built between 1950 and 1975 still have original Type M copper supply lines run directly through the slab. Fort Myers' aggressive aquifer water — high in dissolved CO2 and chloride — pinholes that copper from the inside out, typically at the elbows feeding kitchen and bath fixtures. The homeowner sees a hot spot on the tile and a water bill that doubles before the leak surfaces. We locate with acoustic and thermal-imaging gear before any concrete comes out, then re-route through the attic with PEX-A rather than slab-repair the original line. Patch-and-pray on a 60-year-old copper run is a guaranteed return call inside 18 months.
A failed angle stop on the 12th floor of a Royal Park or High Point Place tower routes water down through three to five units before anyone calls. The mitigation scope is multi-claim from the first walk-through: the source unit, the units directly below, and any shared corridor or elevator lobby that took runoff. We coordinate with the condo association's master-policy carrier and each unit owner's HO-6 simultaneously, because the wall-in versus wall-out responsibility split decides who pays for what drywall. Drying equipment goes in every affected unit on day one — staging dehus only in the source unit is how vertical claims grow secondary mold pressure two weeks later.
Category 1 supply-line water in a 2018 Gateway home is a 3-day dry. The same gallons in a 1958 Edison Park home with original wood subfloor and lath-and-plaster is a Category 2 by hour 48 because the substrate retains and the cavity bacterial load climbs. We re-categorize in writing when the substrate forces it and notify the adjuster the same day. Citizens, Heritage, and the broker network downtown will pay the expanded scope when the moisture logs and substrate samples support it — they will not pay it on assumption.
Our Fort Myers dispatch covers McGregor Boulevard, Edison Park, Whiskey Creek, Cypress Lake, Gateway, Iona, San Carlos Park, and the Downtown River District with one project manager from emergency through reconstruction. Mitigation invoices go out on Xactimate line items matched to the adjuster's scope; reconstruction follows only after dry standard is documented. One file, one team — that is how a Fort Myers water claim closes paid in full instead of stalled in supplemental review.
Truck-mounted vacuum extraction of standing water. Carpet pad pulled. Hardwood floors immediate-action drying if salvageable.
Commercial air movers + dehumidifiers run 3-5 days. Daily moisture readings logged. Infrared imaging catches hidden cavity moisture.
Drywall replacement, baseboards, paint, flooring, and finish work. Single-crew handoff — same team that mitigated rebuilds.
For Fort Myers homeowners, the answer depends on the specific scope — call us at (239) 920-7972 for a same-day estimate. Our Fort Myers water damage restoration crew handles this routinely; we can give you a clear quote after a 15-minute walkthrough.

Our Fort Myers water damage restoration crew dispatches across the full city — from Downtown River District, McGregor Boulevard, Iona, San Carlos Park, Gateway, Whiskey Creek, Cypress Lake, College Parkway, Pelican Preserve, Edison Park, covering ZIP codes 33901, 33907, 33912, 33913, 33916, 33919, 33966, 33967. Each Fort Myers neighborhood has its own building stock and water-damage signature — we adapt scope by construction era and substrate.
Fort Myers insurance carriers we work with: Citizens, full carrier mix; large insurance broker network in downtown. We bill direct on most claims and document to adjuster standards from the first call.
Same crew, same standards — we cover the surrounding cities too:
Most McGregor Blvd estates were built in the 1950s through 1970s using Type M soft copper running through or under the slab. After 50-plus years in Fort Myers' high-chloride soil, pinhole corrosion is routine, and the leak often migrates laterally before surfacing as warm tile, baseboard staining, or an unexplained water bill spike. We confirm with acoustic correlation and tracer gas before any concrete cutting, then document scope to S500 standards so the carrier (often Citizens or Florida Peninsula) can separate the covered water damage from the typically excluded pipe repair itself.
Vertical water travel in a Fort Myers high-rise typically affects the unit of origin plus two to four units below through plumbing chases, light cans, and wall cavities. We deploy moisture mapping per unit, set negative-air containment in shared corridors, and coordinate access through the association manager. Drying is documented per ANSI/IICRC S500 with daily psychrometric logs for each affected unit so the master policy adjuster and individual HO-6 carriers can apportion scope cleanly. We do not begin demolition in a non-origin unit without written authorization from that owner.
Mitigation is the emergency phase: extraction, controlled demolition, antimicrobial application, and structural drying under S500. Reconstruction is the rebuild: drywall, trim, flooring, paint, cabinetry. Florida carriers including Tower Hill and Citizens almost always issue these as separate scopes with separate deductibles applied only once. We hold a Florida CGC license, so we self-perform both phases under one project file, which avoids the common Fort Myers scenario where a homeowner is left chasing a separate GC for the rebuild after a mitigation-only vendor demobilizes.
Yes, and the distinction matters in Fort Myers because inland zones off SR-82 sit outside most NFIP special flood hazard areas. A failed icemaker line, dishwasher supply, or water heater discharge is a sudden-and-accidental loss under your standard HO-3 with Citizens or Florida Peninsula, not a flood claim. We document the source, isolate it photographically, and write the estimate in Xactimate with the correct cause-of-loss code. If it were rising surface water, it would route to NFIP instead, and the scope rules and depreciation tables change significantly.
Tile-over-slab in Fort Myers is slower than carpet or LVP because moisture is trapped between the thinset bond coat and the concrete. On a Category 1 loss in a typical McGregor or Whiskey Creek home, we plan on four to six days of drying with low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers and targeted air movers, validated by daily moisture readings to the slab itself, not just the tile surface. If readings plateau above dry standard, we core-drill discreet relief holes rather than pull tile, which preserves the original finish and keeps the reconstruction scope smaller.
Free estimate. No pressure. Insurance billing handled. Call our Cape Coral line and we'll have a project manager in Fort Myers fast.
