water damage restoration in Combee Settlement
In Combee Settlement, Lakeland Water Damage Restoration takes water damage calls around the clock and dispatches a local restoration crew to remove standing water, dry the structure and clean up. Phones are answered 24/7, and a crew is dispatched as fast as one is available. If water is coming in now, shut it off at the main valve and stay out of standing water near outlets.
Combee Settlement is an unincorporated community on Lakeland's east side, with 5,911 residents at the 2020 census, up from 5,577 in 2010. It is an older working settlement strung along Combee Road north of US 92. Most of the homes are block houses on slab built between the 1950s and the 1970s, and the area also has several mobile-home and manufactured-home parks. Because the community sits outside Lakeland's city limits, questions about repair permits go to Polk County rather than the city.
Water in this area tends to show up in the same few places. Enclosed carports and room additions are often the first spot to show water after a wind-driven rain, and a slab floor gives water no lower level to drain into, so it spreads across the one floor the house has. This page describes what the crew looks at, what usually breaks here, and what to do in the first hour. Every job is assessed on site, and nothing here replaces that assessment.

Local weather drives activity here: heat, humidity and rain change what shows up week to week.
What kinds of homes are most often affected?
Most of the housing in Combee Settlement is block construction on slab from the 1950s through the 1970s, with some older additions and carports that have been enclosed to serve as rooms. Several mobile-home and manufactured-home parks sit alongside the single-family streets. Each type behaves differently once water gets in. In a block house on slab, the supply lines run under the floor, so a leak can show up first as a damp baseboard or a soft spot in the flooring before anyone sees the pipe.
In a manufactured home, water often travels into the belly-board insulation and underfloor ducts before it reaches the living area. The crew can dry those spaces and clean up what is wet. Releveling and structural repair are not work this service does, and a home that needs either will need a different trade. The crew will say so when a job falls outside what it can do.
Why do enclosed carports show water first?
Wind-driven rain is the usual trigger here. Rain pushed sideways under a roof edge or through a gap at the top of a wall finds seams that were never built to shed water. A carport closed in to make a room can look dry from the doorway while the wall cavity behind it is soaked, which is why the first sign is often a stain on the inside face of a wall or a smell that was not there before the storm.
If you find water inside an enclosed carport after a storm, photograph it before you move anything, then stop the water if you can do so safely. Ask the crew for moisture readings of the walls and floor, since the damage often runs further than the visible stain. For the roof side of a storm event, see storm damage restoration, which covers interior damage plus tarping or board-up, but not roof replacement.
Where does the water go after heavy rain?
The area drains toward Lake Parker, the largest of Lakeland's named lakes at about 2,272 acres by the city's own figure. Heavy rain here is therefore not only a question of what lands on a roof. Ground and street water moves toward a large lake system, and when lake levels are high, yard ponding and slow drainage can last well beyond a single storm. A local news outlet has reported that Lake Parker is among the city lakes with significant water-quality problems.
The rainy season for west central Florida runs roughly from 25 May to 10 October, and 55% to 70% of the annual rainfall typically falls from June through September. Atlantic hurricane season runs from 1 June to 30 November, with the climatological peak on 10 September. In 2024, a multi-agency effort pumped water from Lake Bonny to Lake Parker during the flooding, which shows how much water that lake system can be asked to take. For the lake-edge side of this, read lake flooding and stormwater in Lakeland.
Who handles permits and repairs in Combee Settlement?
Combee Settlement sits outside the City of Lakeland, so the city's Building Inspection Division does not issue permits for work here. Repair work generally needs a permit, and for work outside city limits that permit and its inspections are handled by Polk County. Check with the county building division before repairs begin. This page cannot state what a given job requires, and the county's own requirements are not something this page sets out.
Drying and rebuilding are different jobs. In Florida, water extraction and drying are generally treated differently from rebuilding, because tearing out and replacing walls is construction work. Rebuilding after water damage generally needs a Florida-licensed contractor, so look any contractor up on DBPR's license search and ask the company that attends which licenses it holds. The crew can document the damage for your claim, but coverage is decided by your insurer.

FAQ
Combee Settlement FAQs
How quickly will a crew get to my home in Combee Settlement?
Phones are answered 24/7, and a crew is dispatched as fast as one is available. No arrival time can be promised, because it depends on what is already in progress. While you wait, shut the water off at the main valve if you can do so safely, and keep clear of standing water near outlets.
Do I need a permit to repair water damage in Combee Settlement?
Because the community is outside the City of Lakeland, permits for work here are handled by Polk County. Repair work generally needs a permit, and the building department confirms what your particular job needs. Check with the county building division before repairs start.
Is the crew licensed?
Ask the company that attends which licenses it holds. A license number is not printed on this page, but you can ask for it when you call or when the company phones you back. Any Florida contractor can be looked up on DBPR's license search.
What should I do first after water gets into my home?
Shut the water off at the main valve if you can reach it safely. Stay out of standing water near outlets, and turn power off to the area only if the electrical panel is dry and safe to reach. Take photos before anything is moved, and call your insurer early. The crew can give you moisture readings and photos for your claim.
Will my homeowners policy pay for this?
Coverage is decided by your insurer under your own policy, so this page cannot promise it. A homeowners policy often covers sudden and accidental water damage, such as a burst pipe, but usually does not cover long-term leaks, flood or sewer backup unless an endorsement was added. Flood insurance is a separate policy, generally with a 30-day waiting period. Check your policy or ask your agent.
