SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea Saves a Home Filled With Water Damage

5/31/2016 (Permalink)

When water damage affects your home, it’s important to take care of the damage as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more time it has to spread to other areas of your home, creating more damage and a longer cleanup process. Also, if you decide to let the water damage sit, you have a better chance of collecting mold in your home. Avoid all of this and call SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea as soon as you detect any signs of water damage. We have the expertise and knowledge to put your house back to normal. 

We recently had a homeowner in Irvine contact us a full month after she initially discovered water damage in her home.  Her first call was to a plumber, who detected a slab leak in the kitchen. But because she waited so long, the water damage from the leak had spread to the family room, hallway, dining room and two bathrooms. The plumber suggested that she call a water damage removal professional like SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea, so that’s exactly what she did. 

As soon as we received her call, we immediately sent Project Manager, Jonathan Arcila, out to the home to inspect the damage. After taking a look around the home, Jonathan knew that this was a project SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea could handle, so he called our Crew Chief, Antonio Saldana, and our technicians out to start the cleanup process. 

Because the water had spread to so many rooms in the house, we did a pack out of all of the homeowner’s belongings. We then removed the drywall and flooring throughout the home. Because the homeowner waited so long before calling a professional, the home had a strong odor from the excess moisture. We checked for mold and fortunately there were no signs of mold. However, because it smelled so bad, we placed an air scrubber, dehumidifiers and air movers throughout the entire house. 

The homeowner was so pleased with our work. While she wishes that she had taken care of the problem sooner, she was amazed as to how fast we were able to respond to her call and take care of the water damage. We were happy to help! If you detect any signs of water or mold damage in your home, contact SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea today!
