Lee County
Lehigh Acres
Lehigh Acres is inland Lee County: larger lots, a mix of older and newer houses, and more private wells than you will find on the beach.
Well water is the reason many Lehigh calls start with orange staining, sediment, or a sulfur odor rather than a dripping faucet. We still do the faucet. We just do not pretend a new faucet fixes iron. The free water test checks hardness, pH, and iron so the filter or softener, if you need one, matches the well.
Plumbing repair, repiping, drains, and water heaters are the other half of the work. Lots are bigger and pipe runs are longer, which matters when we are tracing a leak between the meter or the well and the house.
