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.
Lehigh Acres' rapid 1980s-2010s build-out left a large stock of similar-vintage CBS homes with similar plumbing systems aging out at the same time. Slab leaks are the dominant claim type. Lehigh Acres has minimal water-frontage so storm-surge claims are uncommon — wind damage drives most hurricane water claims here.
Our Lehigh Acres crew works across the full city — from Veterans Park, Lehigh Senior High, Mirror Lakes Golf Club — and we're familiar with how water damage restoration scope changes between Lehigh North and Lehigh South.
Lehigh Acres disaster history: Hurricane Ian (2022), Hurricane Irma (2017), repeated freshwater flooding. Multi-storm cumulative moisture damage is common here — we untangle which damage came from which storm in our insurance documentation.
The 1980s-2010s build-out left Lehigh Acres with thousands of CBS slab-on-grade homes whose copper supply lines were all installed within a few years of each other. They're now failing within a few years of each other. We pull water-loss data by ZIP - 33971, 33972, 33974, 33976 - and the cluster pattern is unmistakable. A pinhole leak in a Greenbriar home this month means three more on the same street by next year.
Slab leaks rarely announce themselves. A warm spot on the tile near the kitchen island, a water bill that crept up $40, hairline moisture wicking into the bottom of an MDF toe-kick - those are the early signals across Lehigh North subdivisions like Buckingham fringe and Bell Towers. We pressure-isolate the hot and cold side at the manifold, locate with thermal imaging and an acoustic correlator, then expose only the slab section needed. A trenchless PEX reroute from the attic manifold beats jackhammering the entire kitchen on a 1990s build with Type M soft copper, and the insurance scope is cleaner for it.
Lehigh Acres has no meaningful Gulf frontage, so storm-surge water is rare here. Hurricane water claims in Lehigh come almost entirely from wind-driven rain pushing through lifted roof tiles, blown-off ridge caps, or compromised flashing - Ian in 2022 showed every weakness in every roof from Lehigh Senior High over to Mirror Lakes. The intrusion path runs down the truss chord, into the top plate, and reads dry on the ceiling until the drywall stains a week later. We pull thermal at the attic side and pin-meter the top plate from below before we sign off on drying-in-place.
Lehigh Acres has one of the highest investor-owned single-family rental concentrations in Lee County. That changes the file. The landlord's HO-6 or DP-3 carrier pays mitigation; tenant displacement, contents, and ALE run through the renter's policy if one exists. We bill mitigation and reconstruction as separate Xactimate scopes from day one, document tenant access windows, and coordinate with the property manager so the dry-out equipment doesn't get unplugged by a tenant who wants to watch TV. That coordination is the difference between a paid claim and a partial denial.
From dispatch we roll truck-mounted extraction inside two hours, run dehumidification calibrated for inland Lehigh humidity loads (lower than the canal cities but still 65-75% ambient), and log daily moisture readings straight to the adjuster. One project manager carries the file from extraction through final reconstruction. That's the only way a Lehigh Acres slab-leak claim closes without leaving the homeowner - or the investor - chasing money six months later.
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 Lehigh Acres homeowners, the answer depends on the specific scope — call us at (239) 920-7972 for a same-day estimate. Our Lehigh Acres water damage restoration crew handles this routinely; we can give you a clear quote after a 15-minute walkthrough.

Our Lehigh Acres water damage restoration crew dispatches across the full city — from Lehigh North, Lehigh South, Country Club, Eastwood, Mirror Lakes, Pinewood, Buckingham (border), covering ZIP codes 33971, 33972, 33973, 33974, 33976. Each Lehigh Acres neighborhood has its own building stock and water-damage signature — we adapt scope by construction era and substrate.
Lehigh Acres insurance carriers we work with: Citizens, mixed carrier base; flood insurance important for lower-elevation sections. 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:
Lehigh Acres saw waves of CBS tract construction from the 1980s through the early 2000s, particularly along the Sunshine Boulevard and Lee Boulevard corridors. Those builders ran soft copper supply lines through the slab, and after 30-40 years that copper develops pinhole failures from chloride exposure and electrolysis. Because entire subdivisions near Mirror Lakes Golf Club and Lehigh Senior High were piped the same year by the same crews, we routinely see cohort failures where three or four neighbors call within weeks. We document the slab moisture mapping, cut and cap the leak, and coordinate either spot repair or whole-house PEX re-routing with the carrier.
Almost certainly. Lehigh Acres sits well inland with no coastal storm surge exposure, so post-Ian claims across Lehigh North were nearly all wind-driven rain rather than flood. Ian's 100+ mph gusts lifted shingles, broke roof tile, and forced rain horizontally into soffit vents and around windows. That water then travels through the truss cavity and shows up as ceiling stains a room or two away from the actual entry point. We document the wind opening with photos and moisture mapping so the carrier processes it under your HO-3 wind peril rather than denying it as flood, which standard policies exclude.
Mitigation is the emergency phase: stop the source, extract standing water, set air movers and dehumidifiers, and remove unsalvageable drywall and flooring. It's billed under Xactimate WTR codes and runs three to five days on a typical 33971 or 33976 home. Reconstruction is the rebuild: drywall, paint, flooring, cabinetry, trim. The two phases are usually separate scopes and sometimes separate checks from your carrier. We handle both, but we keep the documentation split clean so Citizens or your private carrier can process each phase without the second invoice getting flagged as duplicate work.
Generally no. Lehigh Acres has chronic freshwater flooding issues from the 1960s-era canal grid that struggles during sustained rainfall, particularly in the lower-elevation pockets south of Lee Boulevard. Standard HO-3 policies exclude rising surface water, so freshwater flooding requires a separate NFIP or private flood policy. If your damage came from a roof leak or plumbing failure during the same storm, that portion is typically covered under the homeowners policy. We document the water source carefully because mixed-cause losses in Lehigh frequently get partially denied without clear evidence of which water came from where.
Florida Statute 83.51 requires landlords to maintain plumbing in reasonable working condition and address water intrusion that affects habitability. If a tenant near Veterans Park documents a leak in writing and you fail to respond within seven days, they can withhold rent or terminate the lease. For investor-owned single-family rentals, which are a large share of the Lehigh market, the practical move is fast mitigation documentation. We respond same-day, dry the structure, and provide you a dated scope so you have a defensible record showing prompt action under 83.51.
