At The Homestar Group, our water damage restoration experts receive many calls every month from business owners and residents suffering from the after-effects of burst pipes, leaking boilers, and broken pool fixtures. Residential water damage can have a thousand causes, and it can be tricky for DIY technicians to assess the damage and address it in a cost-effective and time-efficient manner.
Most Mableton residents will experience water damage at some point, and while most of them have flood insurance coverage, they still want to save on their repair and maintenance costs.
The effects of leaving clean water on various home surfaces are nearly identical to flood damage. This homeowner wants water damage repaired from a leaking water heater, as you can spot from our project pictures.
In this case study, our technicians will outline how they did water damage restoration on this single-family home, saving this family from weeks of cleanup efforts and thousands of dollars in structural damage.
Project Description
We believe this water heater leaked for a few hours before the homeowners had a chance to figure out what was going on, and at that point, they were on course for water damage restoration. Our technicians began to detect water running through several rooms, including the kitchen, hallway, bathroom, bedroom, foyer, and stairway, as they did their preliminary assessment upon arrival.
When water damage occurs in a home due to plumbing or appliance issues, the resulting damage is not immediately evident. These homeowners are forward thinkers, asking for a professional cleanup to reduce their exposure to mold, structural rot, and fungal spores. They can't make flood insurance claims because of the nature of the leak, but at The Homestar Group, we accept all forms of coverage from most companies.
After checking every water source inside the home, our technicians went to work.
Project Solution
Walls, doors, floors, and other surfaces that came in contact with water and residual moisture needed special attention from our technicians. We began opening up windows, doors, and vents to let the water evaporate faster while using vacuums and dehumidifiers to eliminate condensation in the air.
Dry air is essential for water damage restoration, and rooms with no access to the outside world take a longer time to clean. Our technicians had to remove every floor covering in flooded rooms and dry out the baseboards. We also had to replace the baseboard in the garage and multiple sections of drywall that won't recover from water damage.
After saving everything we could, we began protecting the home from mold and mildew growth by applying a fresh coat of water-resistant paint to the garage, kitchen, and stairwell. We did one final cleaning pass on all the affected rooms to ensure we removed 100% of the resulting moisture from the leak.
The Result
We appreciate the simplicity of this water restoration project because our technicians did not have to replace railings, counters, and pipes inside the walls to finish. Removing and repainting the baseboards and drywall in a few rooms was enough to safeguard this home from the destructive effects of water damage. The homeowners were able to save thousands of dollars in remodeling costs by calling us early, and we could serve more clients by finishing quickly.
