As trained water damage restoration experts, Lightspeed Restoration comes across many questions related to water damage cleanup and our processes. These are just some of the more common concerns homeowners have when faced with a water-related incident:

Some of the calls we receive most often include water-related issues from faulty appliances, burst pipes, hidden water leaks, storm damage, and overflowing sinks, tubs, and toilets.

First steps include:
