When Disaster Strikes: Battling the Aftermath of a Second-Story Drain Pipe Leak
This customer was dealing with a water damage from an emergency drain pipe from the toilet not being connected properly. This affected all three levels of the home, the laminate/floating floors, and the hallway carpeting around the affected areas.
Unfortunately, water can be sneaky, seeping into hidden corners and damaging materials beyond repair. In this case, SERVPRO's team had to assess and remove any compromised materials, such as waterlogged drywall, damaged flooring, and compromised insulation. This thorough demolition ensures that your home's structure remains sound and prevents any future issues.
After extracting water and removing damaged materials, it's imperative to thoroughly dry the affected areas. SERVPRO employed industrial-grade dehumidifiers and high-speed air movers to expedite the drying process. This step is crucial for preventing mold growth and ensuring a safe and healthy living environment.
