Lightspeed Restoration of the Twin Cities East Metro Offers the Local Resources and Support You Need

After Minneapolis endured a major storm, homeowners suffering damage wanted to start the cleanup immediately. The urge to pick up the pieces and restore your home quickly is understandable in the wake of heavy rains, snow, ice, sleet, damaging winds, or even a tornado. But before diving into storm damage cleanup, Minneapolis homeowners must step back and focus on safety, security, and sustainability for the most successful outcome. 

Professional Hazard Assessment Is Critical 

In the chaotic aftermath of a storm, you might be tempted to walk through your property to assess the damage yourself. But doing so can be risky. Storms can create hidden dangers that aren’t always visible at first glance. The hazards can be worrisome, from live electrical wires to water intrusion and structural instability. It is also nearly impossible to push past emotions when a disaster occurs in your home and belongings, even if you have the training and experience to investigate.  

Lightspeed Restoration of the Twin Cities East Metro brings a fully qualified team to your storm-damaged home, trained and certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC). We have the preparation to discover vital data during the inspection of storm-damaged homes and how to secure the space for safe restoration work. 

The focus during the initial assessment includes: 

  • Electrical Hazards: Damaged wiring or live circuits can be deadly. We ensure safe power shut-off. 

  • Gas Leaks or Oil Spills: We quickly shut valves and contact the proper authorities after discovering compromised utility lines. 

  • Slip-and-Fall Risks: Flooding, debris, and weakened or warped flooring make walking dangerous. Our crew marks and barricades unsafe areas. 

  • Structural Breaches: Missing shingles, shattered windows, broken doors, or gaping holes in siding expose your home to the elements. Immediate action to board up, tarp, and stabilize these openings protects against further damage and provides the foundation for subsequent professional remediation and restoration. 

  • Weakened Building Materials: Soaked drywall, ceilings, stairways, and floors risk instability. Our crews can install temporary supports and recommend controlled demolition to prevent collapse and release trapped stormwater. 

Safety First Sets the Stage for a Successful Cleanup 

Storm damage includes disruption, stress, and the real chance of danger. Just one cubic foot of water weighs over 60 pounds; imagine the consequences of dozens or even hundreds of gallons being collected behind your walls or in your ceiling and breakthrough. Severe structural failure is highly possible if not properly managed. At Lightspeed Restoration of the Twin Cities East Metro, our technicians, equipped with technologically advanced tools, knowledge, and experience, can safely handle even the most severe storm damage situations. Our crews are available 24/7 to secure your property immediately.
