Category 1 - Clean water
From a burst supply line, a leaking water heater, or an AC condensate overflow. The fastest to handle, but in SW Florida heat it starts degrading within a day if it sits.

WHAT WE DO
Water damage restoration built for how Lehigh Acres drains
Water damage restoration is the full process of getting water out, drying everything it touched, and bringing your property back - and in Lehigh Acres, the local landscape works against you. The community was platted in the 1950s as a vast grid of quarter- and half-acre lots across flat, naturally poorly drained land, with stormwater handled by hundreds of miles of canals, ditches, and roadside swales.

Before we arrive
What to do right now
While help is on the way, these five steps help limit damage and protect your claim. If anything feels unsafe, leave it and request help.
Request Emergency Help- 01 Stop the water source if it is safe to reach the shutoff. On well-and-pump homes, that may mean cutting power to the pump.
- 02 Cut power to affected rooms at the breaker - never wade into standing water near outlets or appliances.
- 03 Move valuables, electronics, and furniture off wet flooring.
- 04 Take photos and video of the water and damage before you touch anything, in case insurance is involved.
- 05 Request emergency help - on flat, slow-draining ground, standing water spreads further the longer it sits.
Water categories
Not all water is the same
Knowing what kind of water you are dealing with decides how it is handled. We will confirm when we reach out and on site.
Category 2 - Gray water
From a washing machine, dishwasher, or toilet overflow without solids. Carries contaminants and needs extraction plus sanitizing, not just drying.
Category 3 - Black water
From sewage and septic backups, storm flooding, or any water left standing too long. Grossly contaminated - handled with safety precautions and removal of affected porous materials.

Why water sits in Lehigh Acres
Lehigh Acres covers a wide, flat grid drained by canals, ditches, and roadside swales. When swales clog or storms overwhelm that system, yards and streets pool water instead of draining off. Septic, well-and-pump, and slab homes add their own water and safety considerations.

Timeline
What to expect, day by day
Extraction & setup
Standing water removed, source stopped, hidden moisture mapped, drying equipment placed.
Daily moisture checks
Equipment runs continuously with daily moisture checks; typical drying runs about 3-5 days, longer if materials are heavily saturated or the ground around the home stayed wet.
Wrapped up
Drying is confirmed with moisture readings before equipment comes out, plus documentation for your claim.
Health & Mold
Why fast drying matters in Lehigh Acres
Mold spores are already in SW Florida air year-round, and local humidity gives them what they need to take hold. On wet drywall, wood, and carpet backing, mold can begin growing in as little as 24-48 hours. Lehigh Acres adds its own twist: flat, slow-draining ground and a high water table can keep soil around a home saturated after a storm passes.

FAQ
Common questions.
-
Do you cover all of Lehigh Acres?
Yes. We route help across Lehigh Acres and nearby Lee County, from the Lee Boulevard and Homestead Road corridors to the outer streets near Harns Marsh and Gunnery Road. The fastest way to start is to send a request - standing water spreads by the hour.
-
Why does water seem to sit so long in Lehigh Acres?
Lehigh Acres was platted in the 1950s on flat, naturally poorly drained land, and stormwater is handled by a large network of canals, ditches, and roadside swales. When swales clog with debris or a storm overwhelms the system, water pools in yards and streets instead of draining off.
-
My street floods after heavy rain and water reached my home. Can you help?
Yes. Street and yard flooding that backs up against a garage, door, or low slab is one of the most common calls in Lehigh Acres. We extract the water, dry the affected materials, and document it for your claim.
-
My home is on a septic system and it backed up. Is that different?
Yes. Septic and sewer backups are treated as Category 3 black water - grossly contaminated. That means safety precautions, removal of affected porous materials, and sanitizing, not just drying.
-
How fast can someone get here?
We dispatch 24/7 and route the closest available help across Lehigh Acres and nearby SW Florida. Send a request to start - the faster we begin, the less damage spreads.
-
How quickly does standing water cause damage here?
Fast. Drywall wicks water upward within hours, and in our heat and humidity mold can begin on wet materials in as little as 24-48 hours. On slow-draining ground, the soil around the home can stay wet too.
-
What does Lehigh Acres water damage restoration cost?
It depends on the size of the loss and what is affected. Send a request and describe the situation - you will get a straight answer and a free estimate before any work starts.
-
Do you find water hidden behind walls and under floors?
Yes. We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to map where water has traveled, including moisture trapped behind concrete-block walls - a common hidden problem in local homes.
-
My AC caused the water. Do you handle that?
Yes. AC condensate backups are one of the most common hidden water sources in SW Florida, since systems run most of the year. We extract the water, dry affected ceilings, walls, and flooring, and document it.
-
I am worried about mold after the water. What should I do?
Dry fast and verify it. Because Lehigh Acres homes can dry slowly, mold risk is real if moisture sits. We dry to confirmed readings and can coordinate mold remediation if mold is already present.
-
Do you work with my insurance?
We document the damage with photos and moisture readings so you have what you need to file. We do not file the claim for you, but we make the paperwork easier.
-
It is the middle of the night. Should I wait until morning to request help?
No. Every hour standing water sits, it spreads and the cost climbs - especially on slow-draining ground. We answer 24/7.
