24/7 Water Damage Service Areas in Lee County, FL
We cover Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Lehigh Acres, North Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, Pine Island, Estero and Bonita Springs.
Most homes here are on concrete slabs, so water spreads under flooring and into walls the same way across the county.
What changes from place to place is the cause: condos on the coast, cast iron in older neighborhoods, wells inland, surge on the islands.

Fort Myers
Fort Myers covers everything from the historic River District and older homes along McGregor Boulevard to Iona, Gateway, San Carlos Park and newer communities off Daniels Parkway. Older homes may have cast iron drains and aging supply lines; condos and townhomes see leaks from units above; and neighborhoods along the Caloosahatchee River face surge and river flooding during storms.
Most common: AC leak water damage, condo water damage and cast iron pipe water damage.
Cape Coral
Cape Coral is mostly single-family slab homes, many built between 1970 and 1999, laced with canals. Slab leaks, original cast iron drains in older Cape neighborhoods, canal surge and leaks in seasonal homes are the most common calls. Septic-to-sewer conversions in parts of the city can also expose old drain-line problems.
Lehigh Acres
Lehigh Acres is a large, younger community of concrete block homes, many built in the 2000s and later. Many homes use private wells, so pressure tanks and well lines add their own leak risks. Heavy summer rain can flood streets and low lots, and air conditioners run hard most of the year.
North Fort Myers
North of the Caloosahatchee, North Fort Myers mixes riverfront homes, golf communities and many manufactured-home communities. Soft floors from water heater and supply line leaks, water trapped in the belly wrap, roof leaks after storms and river flooding are the problems we see most.

Fort Myers Beach
Fort Myers Beach on Estero Island took the full force of Hurricane Ian's storm surge in 2022, and many homes and businesses have been rebuilt, often elevated. Today's calls include storm surge and rain flooding, leaks in condos and vacation rentals between guests, and sewage problems after storms.

Sanibel and Captiva
Sanibel and Captiva are home to many seasonal owners, condos and elevated homes. Surge from hurricanes is the biggest risk, followed by leaks that go unnoticed while owners are away. Homes here benefit most from regular home watch visits and a plan for after a storm.
Pine Island and Matlacha
Pine Island, Bokeelia, St. James City and Matlacha are low-lying and surrounded by water, so storm surge is a real threat. The area also has many manufactured homes and seasonal residents, which means floor and belly-wrap damage and leaks discovered after time away.
Estero
Estero is known for gated communities, condos and seasonal residents. The most common water damage here is a leak from the unit above, an AC closet overflow, or a home found wet and musty when the owner returns for the season. In multi-story condo buildings, one failed water heater or AC drain can reach several units below.

Bonita Springs
Bonita Springs, in southern Lee County, has condos along the coast and neighborhoods near the Imperial River. River and rain flooding, condo leaks and seasonal-home damage are the main concerns. After heavy rain, homes near the river should be checked for water in garages and on the ground floor.

San Carlos Park, Gateway and Iona
These communities sit within the Fort Myers area. San Carlos Park has many single-family homes from several decades; Gateway is a planned community with mostly newer homes; Iona, near the Gulf and the Caloosahatchee, has canal-front and older homes that face storm surge. Each gets the same 24/7 help as the rest of Fort Myers.
