Last week, Swift Restoration responded to an emergency water damage near downtown Lafayette. The homeowners called after their kids flooded the upstairs bathroom during bath time, causing water to leak into the downstairs restroom ceiling. Upon arrival, we found water had soaked the upstairs bathroom, hallway, and seeped through the floor to the downstairs restroom. The newly installed carpet in the hallway was also wet. Acting quickly, we began addressing the damage to prevent long-term issues like mold growth.

Our Process:

• Containment: We set up a containment area with 6-mil plastic sheeting to prevent water from spreading and isolate the affected areas.
• Drying and Ventilation: In the downstairs restroom, we drilled small ventilation holes in the ceiling to improve airflow. Industrial dehumidifiers and air movers were placed throughout the affected areas to extract moisture and speed up drying.
• Carpet Drying: The upstairs hallway carpet was carefully dried using specialized equipment, saving it from replacement.
• Sanitization: We treated all affected surfaces with antimicrobial agents to prevent mold growth and ensure a clean, safe environment.
• Results Within days, we dried the entire area, saved the carpet, and eliminated the risk of mold. The homeowners were relieved to see their property restored quickly and professionally.
