Whether you're looking for restoration, cleaning or construction services in Leesburg, we're here to help 24/7.
Leesburg, Florida—often called the “Lakefront City”—lies between Lake?Harris and Lake?Griffin in central Lake?County. Incorporated in 1875, it grew from a small settlement founded by the Lee family into a city of about 27?000 residents. Part of the Orlando–Kissimmee–Sanford metropolitan area, Leesburg is known for its chain of lakes, brick-paved downtown and annual events like Bikefest, which draws up to 250?000 visitors every spring. Lake–Sumter State College and Beacon College are located here, adding a collegiate vibe to the historic streetscape.
Life on the lakes
More than 5?square miles of Leesburg’s 24.4 square miles is water. Residents fish for bass, kayak through cypress-lined canals and launch sailboats from Ferran Park on Lake?Harris. The Venetian Gardens waterfront park began as a Works Progress Administration project in 1938. Workers built canals, footbridges and rock gardens that created jobs and fed families. Today the park’s splash pad, boat ramps and shaded picnic areas host concerts, craft fairs and Fourth-of-July fireworks. Yet living near so much water means being prepared for storms. Heavy rains and hurricanes can raise lake levels, sending water into ground-floor rooms. Professional water damage restoration removes standing water, dries walls and flooring and prevents mold.
Leesburg’s humid subtropical climate brings hot summers and mild winters. Afternoon thunderstorms and tropical systems can cause localized flooding, especially in low-lying neighborhoods. Maintaining gutters, installing sump pumps and sealing foundation cracks can mitigate damage. When leaks occur, water damage restoration teams use pumps, dehumidifiers and moisture meters to extract moisture and restore homes quickly.
History and landmarks
Downtown Leesburg retains a 19th-century feel with brick sidewalks and restored buildings. The Mote-Morris House—a Victorian residence built in 1892 by eight-term mayor Edward H. Mote for $9?000—features a four-story turret and Victorian woodwork. The house was relocated to Magnolia Street in 1990 and is open for tours and special events. A 2018 fire severely damaged the interior, reminding residents that historic structures require vigilant care and specialized fire damage restoration to recover. After careful cleanup, the city reopened the house for public tours, showing how expert restoration can preserve cultural treasures.
Lake Square Mall, which opened in 1980, serves as the area’s shopping hub with a carousel and entertainment venues. Each spring, Leesburg Bikefest transforms downtown into a festival zone with music stages and motorcycle parades. The town’s heritage is also celebrated at the Leesburg Heritage Society Museum and by events that highlight its citrus-growing and watermelon-farming past.
Community and education
The presence of Lake–Sumter State College and Beacon College ensures a steady flow of students and cultural activities. The public library offers classes, and the Center for the Arts hosts exhibitions and open-mic nights. Neighborhood parks provide athletic fields, playgrounds and walking paths. Residents enjoy farmers markets, vintage car shows and holiday parades that underscore Leesburg’s tight-knit community.
However, older homes and businesses present fire risks. Outdated wiring, lightning and unattended cooking are common ignition sources. Leesburg’s humid climate can cause vegetation to dry out, increasing fire hazard. Fire damage restoration experts encourage preventive measures—cleaning dryer vents, updating electrical systems and trimming trees away from roofs. Should a fire occur, restoration professionals secure the structure, remove soot and odor, and rebuild damaged areas. Their prompt intervention helps families and businesses return to normal more quickly.
Living in the lakefront city
Leesburg offers a blend of natural beauty and urban amenities. Its lakes, parks and mild climate attract boaters and anglers year-round, while its colleges, shops and festivals provide entertainment and education. At the same time, proximity to water and older infrastructure demands preparedness. By investing in preventive maintenance and relying on professional water damage restoration and fire damage restoration services when emergencies arise, residents can preserve the city’s charm for future generations.

The SERVPRO team did an amazing job cleaning my carpets.
Dave and Tobias came after my silly mistake 9f leaving an unattended hose filling a spa in my Florida room. They were professional and courteous. They are the best and considering this was at 8:30 on a Saturday night can't say how grateful and pleased I am to them and SERVPRO I hope I never need them again but if I do they will definitely be who I rely on. Thanks again
From the moment the people came out to take a look at the mold problem in my home it has been a pleasure they are a great company to work with very educated about mold problems and explain in a way that a lay person can understand. Everyone at this company from Mike the man that came out to do the estimate down to the three guys that came and did the cleaning of the floors it's been an awesome experience. I highly recommend this company to anyone and everyone you will not be disappointed!
Dave and Tobias were awesome. Very professional and prompt very respectful and courteous they did a great job seeing that everything was dry and taken care of.
Nick was the crew chief that came out and did the demo on my home. He was compassionate and understanding through the entire process. Hunter did the demo with Nick. Hunter and Nick were very easy to discuss things with. They worked very neatly and cleaned up every night. Nick and Hunter made the demo process a little easier on me.
SERVPRO responded immediately to our leak disaster. They coordinated multiple resources in a fast and efficient way. In addition to Mike bringing in all of the support and equipment, we had excellent help from Nick, Horace, Justin and Hunter. Their total professionalism and smiles have helped enormously during the chaos. We highly recommend them!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, SERVPRO of Lake County and Mike Aprey. We are so glad we went out to get a second opinion. The first estimate we received from Pure Maintenance was for between $15,000 and $20,000 to remedy our problem (which is under 100 sq ft of mold). Thank goodness our insurance company suggested we check in with SERVPRO! Mike came by and meticulously explained everything to us in great detail. He took his time and reassured us that the problem was nowhere near that huge and something that we could easily do ourselves for a cost of under $2500. If you are looking for a company with integrity, SERVPRO of Lake County is who you need!
Nick M., Tobias, Daniel, Horace, and Justin did and amazing job at helping me take care of everything that needed to be taken care of after I has a water leak in my home. I would recommend this company to all! The staff are great people and really made the process easier. Thank you guys.
