Damage Restoration Services in Laurel, MS | Clay Fairway Attested

In Laurel, we frequently respond to three main causes of water damage. First, sewage backups can occur during heavy rains when the municipal system becomes overwhelmed. Second, flash flooding from severe thunderstorms can push water into low-lying areas and basements. Third, roof leaks from storm damage or aging shingles are very common. Groundwater intrusion also affects many homes with basements or crawl spaces after prolonged wet periods.

You should watch for musty odors, unexplained increases in your water bill, or soft spots in your floors or walls. Other clear signs include peeling paint or wallpaper, visible mold growth, and warped or buckling hardwood floors. If you notice any of these, even a small amount, it's important to have a professional assess the situation quickly to prevent structural damage and mold spread.

For sewage backups, we first ensure the area is safe by shutting off power and blocking off the affected space. Our crew then extracts all contaminated water and debris using truck-mounted pumps. We remove all porous materials like drywall and carpet that cannot be sanitized. The area is then cleaned with EPA-approved disinfectants and dried thoroughly with industrial air movers and dehumidifiers. Finally, we treat the space with antimicrobial agents to prevent mold and bacteria growth before beginning reconstruction.
