Immediate and Sustainable Water Damage Solutions for Las Vegas Homes

Water damage can strike without warning, turning your typical day at home into a disaster. Water quickly impinges on walls, floors, household contents, and furnishings from leaky pipes or appliance malfunctions. Without swift action, water seeps deeper, causing material deterioration and encouraging mold growth, which is another issue. This is where experts like Absolute Water Restoration come in with water mitigation solutions designed to alleviate, minimize, and prevent further damage to a home. 

Water mitigation in Las Vegas generally involves several steps that begin with a thorough assessment upon arrival to learn the extent of the damage, pinpoint the source of water intrusion, and categorize the type of water in the intrusion, whether clean, grey, or black. Grey means dirty, while black is contaminated.  Identifying the category of water damage is a critical step in water mitigation because it determines the appropriate approach, equipment, and safety protocols. The protocols for sewage and clean water vary. Absolute Water Restoration teams evaluate the extent of water damage, including hidden issues like soaked subfloors, wall cavities, and electrical systems. We mitigate the damage quickly and efficiently, lowering water restoration efforts, potential costs, and length.

Performing Water Extraction and Drying Affected Spaces       

Based on the category of water damage, our team chose the right tools to remove any standing water. For example, when standing water is 2 inches deep, like in a basement, we use a submersible pump with adequate lift capability and volume capacity. We dry out the space once all excess water has been extracted from the affected regions. Thorough drying is crucial to restoring normal moisture levels and helping prevent secondary damage from occurring.

Preventing Microbial Growth after Water Damage

Mold develops in moist environments, which is one of the most common issues experts encounter when arriving at a water-damaged site. Microbes begin to grow within a day or two of water exposure, often hiding behind walls, under flooring, or other porous materials. Our teams apply antimicrobial agents to areas at risk to inhibit growth. We also ensure the indoor humidity levels are below 50%, creating an environment that makes it difficult for mold to grow. Contact the experts at Absolute Water Restoration at (702) 500-1500.
