Certification Is Crucial to Restoration Success

Lightspeed of the Twin Cities East Metro crews earn certification from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), the leading international organization in developing and disseminating restoration standards. The specializations earned and applied to enhance the outcomes of your water damage restoration project encompass a broad range:

  • Water Damage Restoration Technician (WRT) 

  • Applied Structural Drying Technician (ASD) and Commercial Drying Specialist (CDS) 

  • Applied Microbial Remediation Technician (AMRT)

  • Contents Processing Technician (CPT)

During the certification process, each technician learns how to assess the type and extent of water damage, whether it is from clean water (Category 1), gray water (Category 2), or black water (Category 3). Our team adheres to industry best practices and utilizes technologically advanced tools to remove water, dry structures, and mitigate the risk of long-term issues, including progressive building material deterioration and mold growth.

Lightspeed Prioritizes Property Stabilization and Protection 

Our technicians arrive ready to assess and mitigate the water damage. We initially focus on mitigation and remediation:

  • Identifying and stopping the source of water intrusion

  • Removing standing water with commercial-grade pumps and extractors

  • Mapping out moisture migration with infrared and meter-based tools

  • Disposing of saturated materials that are unsalvageable 

  • Setting up high-efficiency air movers and dehumidifiers to dry building materials

  • Cleaning soiled surfaces

  • Applying EPA-registered antimicrobial solutions to inhibit mold and bacteria

Transition to Water Damage Restoration

After assessment, water containment, rapid and thorough fluid extraction, cleaning, and sanitization, the Lightspeed team turns to restoration. Our wrap-around recovery services extend to:

  • Replacing drywall and arranging for repainting

  • Reinstalling the woodwork that we removed to facilitate water extraction and allow for drying of building cavities, and refinishing as necessary

  • Relaying the flooring removed to access the substrate, including installation of new laminate if destroyed during the water event

  • Replacing carpet padding, usually removed during the extraction and drying of salvageable carpets

  • Coordinating the replacement of carpet irreparably damaged

  • Arranging for the installation of new insulation, as saturated materials lose their ability to keep your home snug and climate-controlled
