Water Cleanup Done Right with Absolute Restoration Teams 

Water damage is every homeowner’s worst nightmare. Excess moisture from a burst pipe or flooding can destroy properties if not addressed promptly. While the immediate consequences are easy to spot, such as water puddles on floors, bulging walls, peeling paint, and soaked carpets, the long-term impacts can be far more subtle. Restoration experts help homeowners understand the gravity of moisture damage and take steps to mitigate its effects. These signs call for immediate attention from professionals like Absolute Restoration. 

Water damage in a Las Vegas home can directly impact building elements, as prolonged exposure can weaken critical support structures. Water seeps into cracks and crevices, saturating walls, ceilings, and floors, and can damage insulation too. The moisture can also migrate to adjacent rooms like the basement. Trust our restoration team to tackle this mess head-on. With the expertise and the right equipment, we assess the extent of moisture migration, mitigate the effects, and restore the property to its pre-loss condition. We identify the source of the leak and conduct a comprehensive inspection to define the extent to which structural materials have absorbed moisture beyond normal levels using moisture meters and thermo-hygrometers.

Moisture effects on the stability of a home

• Warped floors
• Sagging ceiling
• Mold growth
• Rotting or decaying wood

Implications of Water on Building Materials

Moist environments create a perfect breeding ground for microbial growth. Mold gradually feeds on moist wooden structural members such as wood and drywall. As it rapidly grows, it weakens materials, compromising a property’s stability and safety. Our services include expert mold remediation to address any mold issue. Drywall absorbs moisture quickly, causing it to swell, soften, or crumble. This weakens its ability to support wall-mounted objects or withstand normal wear and tear. 

Proper Handling of Water Damage          

Our teams come prepared with the right tools and expertise to handle the damage and set the stage for cleanup. We turn off electricity, unplug electronics, and move anything movable where applicable. Depending on the amount of water, we may use a wet/dry vacuum, submersible pumps, or portable or truck-mounted extractors to remove water from the floor. When we remove the bulk of the water, we set up drying equipment to help remove moisture from structural materials.
