Our crew is well-equipped to restore furnishings and home contents to minimize repair costs and streamline the process of returning your home to a safe, comfortable dwelling once more. 

Common Causes for Ceiling Plumbing Leaks 

Plumbing leaks above living rooms often result from aging pipes, worn or improperly sealed joints, or high water pressure stressing the plumbing system. Sometimes, roof leaks or HVAC system failures cause water intrusion that collects in ceiling cavities before seeping through. Even a pinhole-sized leak can accelerate deterioration behind walls and ceilings and raise your water bill on top of damaging your home. If you think there might be a leak, one of the earliest signs to check is your water meter and utility bill. If something looks off, there may be a plumbing issue. 

Protecting Your Belongings When Ceiling Leaks Occur 

When water starts dripping or pouring from a ceiling, take care to move furniture, area rugs, and electronics out of the affected area if it is safe to do so. Placing plastic sheeting or tarps under the leak can limit the spread of excess water onto rugs and hardwood floors. Catching water with buckets or bins helps, but remember that ceilings that hold too much water can crumble and let in even more moisture. Calling a professional immediately provides security in the knowledge that the proper steps are taken to stabilize the structure, remove water, and protect your property while minimizing safety concerns for you and your loved ones. 

How We Can Save Your Property After a Ceiling Leak 

Our technicians have a broad suite of tools at their disposal to eliminate water damage in your home related to plumbing failures. 

  • We use powerful extraction units with multiple attachments to remove the bulk of water trapped above ceilings and soaked into floors. 

  • Commercial-grade low-grain refrigerant (LGR) dehumidifiers and high-powered air movers focus airflow and humidity control to dry hidden moisture pockets in drywall, wood, and contents. 

  • Using thermal imaging and moisture meters calibrated for various materials, we can detect the full extent of water migration and hidden damage and plan restoration and drying progress accordingly. 

  • Area rugs, upholstery, and other living room contents are cleaned, deodorized, and dried following restoration industry standards and protocols established by organizations like the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). 

  • EPA-registered antimicrobials are applied to surfaces to prevent microbial growth and mitigate odors during and after drying. 

Whether from a single leaking pipe or a major plumbing failure, our team acts quickly and efficiently to protect and restore Slidell homes. Contact Lightspeed Restoration of Covington at (985) 323-6356 for professional water damage restoration when ceiling leaks threaten your living space.
