Moisture and Water Removal Leads to Manageable Restoration
Whether caused by sudden storms, burst pipes, or flooding, timely and effective water mitigation is crucial for protection against further damage to your house. Well-structured mitigation includes three water removal steps: heavy extraction, vacuuming shallow and difficult-to-reach areas, and removing environmental moisture to prevent structural damage and mold growth.
The Phases of Water Removal and Moisture Management
Lightspeed Restoration of Georgetown & Round Rock is your best partner for water mitigation in Pflugerville. We have a rapid response team to manage time-sensitive water removal:
-
Trash Pumps: High-Capacity Volume Water Removal
Trash pumps are heavy-duty pumps designed to handle volumes of water, even when it is full of dirt or small solids. They quickly pump water from basements, garages, and other highly flooded areas.
In Pflugerville, where stormwater and flash floods can quickly overwhelm a property, trash pumps are necessary to prevent the property from being exposed to water for a longer period. Removing most of the water minimizes immediate damage and prepares the property for the next steps in mitigation.
-
Wet Vacuums: Specialized for Shallow and Inaccessible Water
Once the large amounts of water have been removed, attention turns to dealing with leftover water in shallower regions or challenging spots. Wet vacuums are perfect for this job, as they can extract water from carpets, hard-to-reach areas, and irregular surfaces.
If unchecked, shallow water seeps into porous materials such as wood and drywall, creating permanent structural damage. Wet vacuums eliminate even minor puddles, creating a cleaner and safer area for the final mitigation stage.

Moisture Extraction: Protecting Buildings and Halting the Growth of Mold
Air and material drying is the last and arguably most crucial stage of water mitigation. Just because visible water may have been extracted, this does not necessarily mean dampness retained in the walls, floors, or furniture is not potentially creating conditions ideal for mold development.
Powerful dehumidifiers and air movers are used to reduce the humidity and eliminate pockets of hidden moisture. This step is essential in Texas because of its hot and humid climate, significantly accelerating mold growth if drying is improperly done.
