Rely on Local Experts to Control Severe Storm Damage Hazards

Property owners in Hammond facing storm damage cleanup are eager to get the recovery rolling. Focusing on the result motivates and gives hope to those devastated by the effects of extreme weather, including catastrophes like tropical storms, hurricanes, torrential rains, and even tornado activity in recent years. However, for storm cleanup to proceed safely, an initial pause must be made to arrange for a comprehensive hazard assessment. Then, interventions to secure your home and the restoration workspaces for additional mitigation and remediation services can proceed.

Successful Storm Damage Cleanup Requires Professional Inspection

Resist the temptation to check out and decide how to manage storm damage on your own. Few homeowners have the expertise or training to inspect the chaotic aftermath of flooding, high winds, sewage backups, and utility disruptions. Remember that it is also nearly impossible to set fear and emotions aside when a disaster occurs in your home and belongings. Instead, invite the professionals from LightSpeed Restoration of Covington to conduct your home's safety hazard and damage assessment. Our technicians earned certification from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC) in various mitigation, remediation, and restoration specialties. We are ready to inspect your premises and put indicated protective controls in place for the following:

  • Water hazards

  • Potential electrical shock exposure from damaged or live wires--shut off power

  • Leaks and seepage into flooding from gas or oil utility supply lines--close valves and contact appropriate vendors

  • Slip, trip, and fall issues--erect barricades and signage to avoid

  • Breaches in the envelope of a home, including ripped-off roofs, smashed windows and doors, and even holes in siding from airborne debris--tarp and board-up holes

  • Storm-weakened building materials

Essential supporting structures that can compromise the integrity of your building if they fail because of hidden and trapped water soaked into and damaging building materials--install temporary bracing and consider limited demolition options to control drainage while releasing the weight and pressure of the storm-related liquids.

Expert Storm Damage Cleanup Is Vital to Your Health and Well-Being

Significant exposure to personal injury or even death is possible if stormwater captured in building cavities behind, under, or over walls, floors, staircases, or ceilings causes collapse. Just one cubic foot of water (7.5 gallons) weighs 62 pounds. Imagine the property devastation and risks to occupants and workers when tens to hundreds of gallons of water cascade through. You need the assistance of professionals with training, experience, and the equipment and supplies needed to manage caches of stormwater safely prior to extraction and cleaning.
