One of the defining characteristics of Lehigh Acres plumbing is the prevalence of well water systems. While city water has expanded into parts of the community, many Lehigh Acres homes — particularly those built before utility expansion — still rely on private wells. Well water in this part of Lee County is often high in iron, sulfur, and hardness minerals, which can stain fixtures, clog aerators, produce a rotten-egg odor, and accelerate water heater sediment buildup. We install and service well water filtration systems, water softeners, and iron removal filters specifically sized for Lehigh Acres water conditions.

Septic systems remain common throughout older sections of Lehigh Acres. Properly functioning plumbing is essential when your home is on septic — a leaking toilet or running faucet does not just waste water, it overloads the septic system and can cause costly drain field failure. We help Lehigh Acres homeowners maintain septic-friendly plumbing by repairing leaks promptly, installing water-efficient fixtures, and ensuring all drain connections are properly configured.

Lehigh Acres experienced a major construction boom in the mid-2000s, and many homes from that era were built with CPVC supply lines that are now reaching an age where they become brittle and prone to cracking — especially in hot attic spaces where CPVC degrades faster. We have seen a significant increase in CPVC pipe failures in Lehigh Acres homes built between 2003 and 2008, and recommend proactive repiping for affected properties.

During the mid-2000s building boom, some Lehigh Acres homes were also affected by Chinese drywall, which releases sulfur compounds that corrode copper plumbing, HVAC coils, and electrical wiring. If your home has undergone Chinese drywall remediation, the copper plumbing should be inspected and potentially replaced as part of the restoration. We have performed plumbing replacements as part of several Chinese drywall remediation projects in Lehigh Acres.
