Water Damage Restoration in Olde Naples, Port Royal & Aqualane Shores

Three neighborhoods, one shared risk: low ground near the water

Olde Naples is the city's original neighborhood, stretching from the Naples Pier and the beach to Fifth Avenue South, Third Street South and Cambier Park. Homes range from older cottages on shady streets to new custom builds that replaced them. Aqualane Shores sits between Gordon Drive and Naples Bay, with deep canals behind many homes. Port Royal fills the southern tip, with large waterfront estates facing the Gulf, Naples Bay and the canals leading to Gordon Pass.

All three share low elevation and water on more than one side. During Hurricane Ian in 2022, storm surge pushed into streets and homes across this part of Naples. Owners here know a storm can bring water from the Gulf side and the bay side at once.

Drying high-end finishes without causing new damage

Many homes here have wide-plank wood floors, natural stone, custom millwork, plaster and built-in cabinetry. These materials react badly to drying that's too fast or too slow. Wood can cup or crack, stone can stain, and millwork can split. We take readings often and adjust air movement and dehumidification for each material, rather than flooding a room with equipment and walking away.

• We map moisture under stone and wood before choosing how to dry them.
• We protect finished floors and furniture during work.
• We remove only what can't be saved, and explain why before we cut.
• We document everything with photos and moisture logs for your insurer.

Seasonal homes in Olde Naples and Port Royal

Many owners here spend summers away. Before you leave, shut off the main water or install an automatic leak shut-off, keep the AC running with humidity control, and give your home watch service our number, (928) 394-5135. A small AC drip in July can become a ceiling and mold job by October if no one checks.

After a storm surge

Surge water from the Gulf or bay is salt water mixed with sand and debris. It's treated as contaminated flood water. Wet drywall and insulation usually come out above the water line, and surfaces are cleaned before drying. Flood damage is usually covered by flood insurance, not homeowners insurance. Our hurricane water damage guide covers prep and recovery.
