Henderson Water Damage Restoration Services

Get Your Las Vegas & Boulder City Property Back to its Best Shape

Water damage can strike quickly or creep up gradually. It can result from natural causes, like flooding, or can come from a slowly leaking pipe. Whatever the cause, it’s imperative to begin water damage restoration immediately.

Start Water Damage Restoration As Soon As Possible

The first 24 hours after the damage is discovered can be critical because it doesn’t take long for mold to develop. Good water damage restoration requires a diligent approach with a good eye for detail, and the process must be conducted with meticulous care. Sealing can protect the long-term investment you have in your property and keep future restoration costs to a minimum.

Whether you’re in Henderson or Las Vegas, Life Savers Restoration can provide you with the efficient response and thorough service you need to clean up water damage and protect your property.

Common Causes of Water Damage

Flooding

Flooding is one of the most common natural cases of water damage. Land development can have ripple effects that impact drainage systems. The natural erosion of soil can have the same impact.

Leaky Pipes

Leaky pipes are far from uncommon, especially as a home gets older. The appliances that those pipes feed into can be the source of water problems. The area beneath your sink is a common vulnerability. Clogged drains in the bathroom or elsewhere can result in a water damage problem that sneaks up on you. The hose that supplies the dishwasher can be a serious cause of water problems.

HVAC Drainage Problems

It’s no secret that our summers in Nevada are hot, and that means a lot of air conditioning use. Regardless of whether you have a modern HVAC system or an old-school window unit, they all pull moisture from the air, and a drainage problem in the system can mean a water problem in your home.

Homeowners can take proactive steps aimed at mitigating or preventing water damage by inspecting their appliances regularly and keeping them in good working order.

How to Deal With Water Damage

As soon as you’ve called a water damage restoration professional — or even before — here are some steps you can take to help with the water clean up.

Work on Drying Out the Area

Start the water clean up process by mopping and blotting the area – some towels to soak up the water can help too. Be sure to wipe excess water from furniture and try to remove and prop up any wet upholstery and cushions. Remove any rugs that could keep the carpet wet.

If the water damage happened during a spring or summer, turning on the air conditioner will help dry the area. If you have a dehumidifier, then that is even better! When your contractor arrives, they’ll be able to use a large-scale dehumidifier too.

Create a Good Airflow to Help With Water Clean Up

Take whatever steps possible to create good airflow in the area impacted by water damage. The ultimate objective is to get the area completely dried out. While the contractor’s advanced equipment may be necessary to finish the job, any head start you can provide may prove decisive in how much water damage is ultimately incurred.

Look Out for Contaminated Water

Something to take note of is the color of the water that has caused the damage. This can start with “basic water,” which is the standard water that comes from rain, condensation, and leaky pipes.

Gray water is a little more serious and is often the product of dishwashers, washing machines, and toilets. This water may be contaminated.

Black water is very serious. Not only are you dealing with water damage, but it’s highly likely that the water is contaminated with bacteria. If not properly cleaned up, it can cause long-term health problems for you and your family — to say nothing of the serious damage that can be done to the home.

What to Avoid After Water Damage

Do NOT enter a room with standing water unless you a absolutely certain that the power has been turned off. If you are not sure, contact a water damage restoration expert immediately.
Do not use any electrical appliances!
Do not use your vacuum to do any water clean up!
If your ceiling is wet, do not turn on any ceiling fixtures.
Do not stay in rooms where the ceiling is sagging due to water damage.
Do not remove carpet without the help of a professional.
Do not leave wet fabrics in place. If you can, hang them up to dry.
Do not leave colored items or books and magazines on wet carpet or floors – the inks or dyes may stain them.
If you see any mold growth, do not disturb it.

Dealing With Water Damaged Materials

If the damaged material in your home is something soft, like a carpet or insulation, it may need to be cut out and thrown away. It’s possible that furniture could be dried out and saved. This will depend on the extent of the damage, and it’s something to discuss with your Henderson water damage restoration expert. But keeping damaged materials in the home can result in long-term mold and mildew problems developing.

You may also need to replace any drywall that was damaged. The sidings and baseboards of your home should be professionally evaluated. It’s possible they can be saved, if properly disinfected. If they do have to be removed, the ripple effects on the rest of the house’s foundation must be understood before action is taken.

Every situation is different, but they have one thing in common — the sooner the homeowner acts, and the sooner our water damage restoration team gets there, the better chance there is of saving your materials.

Dealing with Mold

How far mold has progressed depends on the nature of your water damage. If you acted quickly after a flooding problem and got a professional in, mold may be minimal to non-existent. But unless you’re really fortunate, a slow leak wouldn’t be discovered until at least some level of damage has already been done.

Mold needs to be dealt with carefully. It’s always damaging to the material that’s been infected and, in some cases, can be toxic to the person trying to clean it up. When you see a serious mold issue, work immediately to shut off the airflow and prevent contamination from spreading, and call a water damage restoration pro ASAP. Life Savers Restoration can help you work with your insurance carrier and get clarification on covered services.

Starting Anew

Once the water damage has been removed, it’s important that the area is properly sealed. Whether it’s a ceiling, floor, drywall, or siding, you’re going to need a nice new paint job and some fresh caulking. A professional job of sealing and caulking is aimed at reducing the possibility of long-term problems. A poorly done seal and caulk makes it more likely that money will be spent in the future.

Life Savers Restoration takes tremendous pride in acting quickly and doing the job right. A family-owned business that’s spent 25 years serving the people of Las Vegas and Henderson, we understand the needs of those that call us for help.

Rudy and his team were fantastic when our kitchen flooded they were professional, supportive, thorough, and great communicators throughout the entire process. Have to give a special shout-out to Austin and Elias for all their hard work and helping me keep my sanity as they literally took apart my kitchen.

Highly recommend it when chaos ensues!
