We recently completed a
water damage restoration Marietta, GA job in a residential home, spanning multiple floors. The job involved restoring damage caused by a toilet leak on the upper floor, which affected both the bathroom and the kitchen below. Our client, a homeowner, was overwhelmed by the damage to their vanity cabinet, vinyl flooring, drywall, subfloor, and hardwood floor. This case study details the steps we took to bring their home back to its pre-damage condition.

Initial Assessment

Upon receiving the call, we quickly arrived at the site for an initial assessment. Our team used moisture detectors to gauge the extent of the water damage. It was clear that the damage was significant, with the water affecting multiple layers of the home's structure.

Our Complete Restoration Process

Step 1: Water Removal

Our first task was to remove all standing water. We used powerful, commercial-grade vacuums and extractors. These tools are essential in mitigating further water damage and preventing mold growth.


Step 2: Damaged Material Removal

Once the water was extracted, we carefully removed the damaged materials. The vanity cabinet in the bathroom, parts of the vinyl flooring, and sections of the drywall had absorbed too much water and were beyond repair. This step was crucial to prevent the spread of moisture and potential mold to other areas of the house.


Step 3: Drying and Dehumidifying

With the damaged materials out, we focused on drying the affected areas. Our air movers and dehumidifiers were placed strategically to ensure efficient drying. This process was monitored closely using moisture detectors to ensure that the humidity levels were brought back to normal.


Step 4: Cleaning and Sanitizing

After drying, we cleaned and sanitized the affected areas. Our team used antimicrobial sprays to disinfect and prevent any bacterial growth. This step is vital for the health and safety of our clients.


Step 5: Restoration

The final phase involved restoring the home to its original state. This included installing new drywall, laying down new vinyl flooring, and repairing the subfloor. The hardwood floor was completely replaced, giving the kitchen a fresh new look. We also installed a new vanity cabinet in the bathroom, ensuring it blended seamlessly with the existing décor.
