Pelican Bay homes and water: what to expect

Seasonal homes in Pelican Bay can sit empty for months. A failed supply line, water heater, or ice-maker line can run until a neighbor or manager notices. We coordinate access and start drying as soon as we are inside.

Pelican Bay is a planned community on the Gulf between Park Shore and Vanderbilt Beach, known for its beachfront high-rise condominiums, mangrove preserve, and boardwalks to the beach. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 6,380 residents in Pelican Bay. The median year of construction is about 1993, so many homes were built before Florida's post-2002 hurricane building-code updates. Condo and multi-unit buildings in Pelican Bay share walls, ceilings, and HVAC, so one unit's water or smoke often reaches neighbors. Much of Pelican Bay is newer planned development, with block homes and HOA communities built since the 1990s.

Working with your insurer in Pelican Bay

Your insurer decides coverage. Our job is the documentation: where the water came from, what got wet, readings each day, and what had to be removed. You stay in control of your claim.

What happens after you call

  1. Make the scene safe first: water stopped, breakers off to wet rooms, trip hazards marked.
  2. Pull standing water off the floors and out of carpet and pad with extraction equipment.
  3. Remove baseboards, drywall, insulation, or pad that cannot be dried, and tell you on the first visit.
  4. Re-check readings on each visit and pull the equipment only when the numbers say the job is done.
  5. Photograph everything and write a scope with readings for your insurer.

While you wait for the crew

  • Shut off the water at the main or the fixture stop.
  • Lift rugs, electronics, and paper goods off the floor.
  • Skip the shop vac on anything near outlets, and never use a household vacuum on water.

What the Census says about Pelican Bay housing

About 62% of units are in buildings with 10 or more units, so one unit's leak often reaches the units below. Median year built: 1993. That matters because at around 33 years, many original supply lines, shutoff valves, and water heaters are at or past typical service life. The median age in Pelican Bay is about 74 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey). We can send photos and paperwork to a family member or manager who helps with the claim. Population: about 6,380 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimate).

Common questions

Water damage restoration questions in Pelican Bay

What should I do about water damage in Pelican Bay?

Shut off the water if you can, turn off power to wet rooms if it is safe, and photograph every wet room. Call (239) 688-2880. We extract, dry, and document the loss for your insurer in Pelican Bay and across Collier County.

Why do you remove baseboards and drywall after a leak?

Water wicks up drywall and hides behind baseboards and cabinets. If it cannot dry in place, leaving it invites mold, which grows fast in Florida humidity. We remove only what the readings say will not dry.

Will insurance cover water damage in my Pelican Bay home?

Sudden, accidental water such as a burst pipe or supply line is often covered; long-term leaks and rising flood water often are not, unless you have flood coverage. We document the loss for your insurer. You keep the claim.

What if the water in my Pelican Bay home came from outside?

Storm water, surge, and river or street flooding are handled the same way on site: extract, remove what cannot be dried, and dry the structure. Coverage is usually different, so we document outside water separately from plumbing leaks.

Can I stay in my Pelican Bay home while it dries?

Usually, yes, if the power is safe and the wet area can be closed off. The equipment is loud and runs around the clock. If drywall or flooring has to come out, we tell you which rooms to stay out of.
