Water damage restoration for Fort Myers and Lee County homes
Water damage in Fort Myers comes from two directions. From outside, there is hurricane surge, heavy summer rain and rising water along the Caloosahatchee River and the canals that feed it. Hurricane Ian in September 2022 pushed surge into homes from Fort Myers Beach to the McGregor corridor. From inside, the usual causes are burst supply lines, failed water heaters, washer hoses and AC condensate lines that clog in the humid months.
Homes here sit on concrete slabs, so water has nowhere to drain. It spreads under tile and laminate, wicks up drywall and hides behind baseboards and cabinets. Fort Myers humidity keeps those spots wet, which is why drying takes dehumidifiers and daily meter readings, not just fans.
When you call, the restoration crew stops the source, checks every wet room with a moisture meter, and writes the estimate before extraction and drying start. Calls are answered 24/7 for Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Lehigh Acres, North Fort Myers, Estero, Bonita Springs, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, Saint James City and Alva.
- Storm surge and flood water count as Category 3 water and need porous materials removed.
- Wet drywall can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours, per the EPA.
- Standard homeowners policies cover sudden leaks but not flood water; flood needs its own policy.
- In Florida condos, the unit owner and the association can each owe part of a leak repair.
- Mold work over 10 square feet in Florida calls for a mold remediator with a state license.
