Signs to Check in Lakewood Homes
Water in a Lakewood home shows the same signs as anywhere else in Orleans Parish — but in a busy household in Lakewood it is easy to miss. Water sitting on a floor, soaked carpet, a damp patch, peeling paint, water after a burst pipe or flooding, condensation in a bathroom or attic, or water found under flooring are the signs that matter for Lakewood homes in Orleans Parish. Two or more together are a strong reason to call and describe them rather than waiting.
Signs alone are not proof of how far water has spread in a Lakewood home in Orleans Parish. A damp patch in Lakewood can come from a roof leak as well as a burst pipe, and a musty smell can come from water sitting where it cannot be seen. The visit looks for the full extent of the water in the Lakewood property — the affected rooms first, then the rooms beside them and the places water travels — and the work is planned from what is found, because extraction planned without finding the full extent is work that comes back. If you have just moved into a Lakewood home, check the sinks, toilets, water heater and the rooms underneath them first: leaks — and the water that follows them — are often found in the first weeks in a new home in Orleans Parish.

How to Prepare for a Water Extraction Visit in Lakewood
A little preparation before the visit helps the Lakewood job start in the right place. What is needed depends on the water and the rooms in the Lakewood home, and it is confirmed with you before the visit; the steps below cover most homes in Lakewood in Orleans Parish.
- In a Lakewood home in Orleans Parish with standing water over a large area, stay out of the water: do not enter it and do not touch electrics in or near it.
- Before the visit to the Lakewood property in Orleans Parish, write down the affected rooms, when the water was first noticed, and any burst pipe, leak or flooding that came before it.
- Clear dry belongings out of the affected rooms of the Lakewood home in Orleans Parish where it is safe to do so, so the visit can reach the affected areas.
- Leave standing water alone in a Lakewood home in Orleans Parish until the visit: do not try to pump out a large area yourself, and do not use a household vacuum on standing water.
- Where you can reach it safely from dry ground in the Lakewood home in Orleans Parish, turn off the tap or shut-off valve for a leaking fixture.
- While the visit is under way in the Lakewood home in Orleans Parish, keep children and pets out of the affected rooms and leave a clear path from the door to the rooms involved.
For a leak in a Lakewood home, find the main shut-off before the visit if you can: it is usually near the water meter or where the main line enters the house, and knowing its place helps if the water in the Lakewood home in Orleans Parish keeps running — standing water left in place soaks deeper into floors and walls. Never handle electrics in or near standing water.

You are told what to watch for afterwards, and if the problem returns, the next step is planned from what you describe when you call.
What to prepare is settled with you before the visit, since it depends on the water and the rooms in the Lakewood home in Orleans Parish.

Questions About Water in Lakewood
Is sewage water in Lakewood something I can clean up myself?
No, sewage water in Lakewood is Category 3 black water, and it is professional-only work, so nobody in Lakewood should try to clean it up alone. Stay out of rooms in Lakewood that hold sewage water, do not touch anything the water has reached in Lakewood, and call for water extraction help in Lakewood.
Can wet carpet in Lakewood be saved after a leak?
Wet carpet in Lakewood depends on the water that reached it and how long it stayed wet, so a carpet in Lakewood soaked by clean water from a leak is in a different position from one soaked by floodwater. Extraction in Lakewood removes the water from the carpet and the pad beneath it in Lakewood, and drying follows, with the rooms in Lakewood checked again before anything is put back.
Why does water collect under raised homes in Lakewood?
Raised homes in Lakewood stand over a crawl space, and rain and leaks in Lakewood can both send water under the house, where it sits out of sight. A damp crawl space in Lakewood is checked as part of the work in Lakewood, because water under a home in Lakewood can keep the rooms above it damp.
