Burst pipe and flood water cleanup in Bonita Springs

Bonita Springs homes and water: what to expect

Bonita Springs has two kinds of water calls. Near the Imperial River, heavy rain and storms can push water into older homes on low lots. In the gated communities east of I-75, it is usually a supply line, water heater, or AC drain in a home that sat empty for part of the year. Both need fast extraction and drying with readings.

Bonita Springs is the southernmost city in Lee County, between Estero and the Collier County line. The Imperial River winds through the older neighborhoods near downtown on Old 41, and the city runs west to Bonita Beach Road and the Gulf and east to newer gated communities along I-75. Imperial River flooding reached homes after Hurricane Irma in 2017, and Ian brought surge to the beach areas in 2022.

Before we get there

• Lift rugs, electronics, and paper goods off the floor.
• Do not use a household vacuum on standing water.
• Open cabinet doors under wet sinks so they can start to air out.

Insurance and your claim

We work with your insurance but we do not take over your claim. You get photos, moisture readings, and a written scope to send your adjuster. Whether it is covered depends on your policy and where the water came from.

How the dry-out works

1. Confirm the water is off and wet rooms are safe to enter, with power cut to them if needed.
2. Map moisture in walls, floors, and ceilings with moisture meters, so we know where the water went, not just where it shows.
3. Cut out wet materials that will not dry in place, and explain why before we cut.
4. Come back to take readings until materials reach normal dry levels.
5. Photograph everything and write a scope with readings for your insurer.
