General information only

The guides on this site explain water damage, mold, flooding, insurance and Florida rules in plain English for homeowners in Lee County and nearby areas. They are general information. They are not legal, insurance, engineering, medical or financial advice, and reading them does not create a client relationship with Fort Myers Restoration Co.

Laws and figures change

We cite the Florida Statutes, FEMA, the EPA, the National Hurricane Center, the National Weather Service, the U.S. Census Bureau and local governments, and we note the month each page was last reviewed. Deadlines, flood maps, permit rules and cost figures change. Check the official source, your policy or a licensed adviser before you act on anything important.

Your home is different

Every water loss is different. What can be dried in place, what has to come out and how long drying takes depend on the water source, how long it sat, the materials in your home and the readings taken on site. Nothing on this site replaces an on-site inspection and a written scope of work.

Insurance

Whether a loss is covered depends on your policy wording, your insurer and the facts of the loss. We describe common rules and statutes, but only your insurer and your policy decide coverage. We do not accept assignments of insurance benefits.

Emergencies

If anyone is hurt, or there is a fire, a gas smell or electrical danger, call 911 first. Do not enter standing water near live outlets or the electrical panel.
