A rapid response is critical, making the 24/7 availability of Lightspeed Restoration of Covington crucial to reducing out-of-pocket expenses for homeowners.

The Challenges Skilled Restoration Companies Face Following Floods 

Flooding is more than just water in your house. Concerns are complex and complicated, intruding on intricate systems of your home’s construction and creating scenarios that only experienced and trained professionals can effectively manage. Some of these conditions include:

  • Hydrostatic pressure is a concern for homeowners in Louisiana during flooding. The buildup of water around your foundation exerts pressure on the walls of a crawl space.

  • Standing water enters porous materials such as wood or drywall through capillary action. Within as little as one or two days, mold can begin to form. 

  • Shock threats become more significant as water levels reach the height of installed outlets and wiring.

  • Subflooring and insulation can both be compromised by intruding water and flooding. Long-term exposure can deteriorate these materials.
