Avoid Severe Water Damage by Acting Fast 

Brentwood homes face water damage risks from roof leaks, burst pipes, or torrential rainfall incidents. Resolving these cases is challenging without specialized skills or equipment if significant water volumes breach the property or the water has contaminants. The secret to surviving water damage is speedy water mitigation that stops problems in their tracks, saving you time, money, and headaches. 

Mitigating Damage Before It Happens

Water damage is mostly recognized as an accidental occurrence, but many incidents stem from overlooked maintenance. If you religiously maintain your plumbing systems, appliances, and roof, you keep off water damage occurrences. Lightspeed Restoration offers seasonal inspections to catch issues before they spiral out of control. A spring inspection catches any damage from freezing temperatures and ice. In contrast, a fall inspection is perfect for resolving possible damage from Brentwood's summer thunderstorms. 

Issues to address

  • Visible corrosion or cracks in pipes

  • Changing rubber to steel braided washing machine hoses 

  • Flushing sediments in water heater tanks

  • Cleaning gutters and downspouts

Apart from limiting the inconveniences of moisture accumulation, such as odor, mold, and material deterioration, preemptive water mitigation saves you the cost of expensive repairs and replacements. You also maintain a safe environment for your family.

How to Take Control Quickly After Water Leaks

A proactive approach is still possible after water leaks into your property. Fast water removal remains the single most effective step you can take to protect your valuables from moisture damage. Lightspeed Restoration teams use specialized water extraction equipment to fast-track the process. Depending on the water volume involved, we may require a dry/wet vacuum, a portable extractor, or a submersible pump. 

Other actions are equally essential when proactively mitigating water damage. For example, knowing where the water goes after spilling on your floors is better than waiting until buckling floorboards or a musty odor alerts you that it has reached the subfloor and other hidden areas. A professional team using thermal imaging tools can easily spot moisture hidden behind solid materials on the floor, walls, or ceiling. The tool relies on temperature differences to distinguish wet and dry materials.

Smart Solutions to Save Your Home from Trapped Water

Specialized extraction equipment, such as drying mats, makes it easier to remove water trapped beneath floorboards or tiles without destroying the surfaces. In case physical intervention is necessary to remove water trapped by materials within ceilings or walls, nondestructive options, such as drilling weep holes or vent holes, are the perfect solution.
