Burst pipe and flood water cleanup in Lely

Lely homes and water: what to expect

Older homes in Lely often have aging copper, galvanized, or cast-iron plumbing and water heaters at the end of their life. A burst line spreads across tile and into baseboards fast; we extract and dry until the meters say the job is done.

Lely is a residential area in East Naples off US 41, with canals and single-family homes, some dating to the 1960s and 1970s. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 3,548 residents in Lely. The median year of construction is about 1984, so many homes were built before Florida's post-2002 hurricane building-code updates. Canal-front homes in Lely sit at low elevation, where high tides and storm water can push under doors and into ground-level rooms. Older housing in Lely often has aging supply lines, water heaters, and roofs that have been through several storms.

While you wait for the crew

• Shut off the water at the main or the fixture stop.
• Photograph every wet room before anything is moved.
• Lift rugs, electronics, and paper goods off the floor.

What happens after you call

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. Remove baseboards, drywall, insulation, or pad that cannot be dried, and tell you on the first visit.
4. Come back to take readings until materials reach normal dry levels.
5. Photograph everything and write a scope with readings for your insurer.

Working with your insurer in Lely
