SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea – Refrigerator Flood in Local Brea Home

7/15/2014 (Permalink)

Nobody wants to wake up to a house flood.  It’s hard enough to keep up with basic expenses like mortgages and car payments without throwing in any unexpected bills. However, SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea has had many clients that have woken up to flooding in their kitchen because the icemaker on their refrigerator burst or malfunctioned.

We had one homeowner who, just after settling into bed for the evening, heard weird noises coming from the kitchen. When he got up to investigate, there was water flooding out of his refrigerator! Disasters like this happen quickly and sometimes without warning; nevertheless, we still suggest you keep up with routine maintenance on your appliances.

Of course when incidents like this happen your whole kitchen suffers from the flood damage. Although standing water may seem easy to clean up, it is actually a serious task. Our experienced technicians have experience with these sorts of incidents all the time.  We know that you’ve got to make sure the water is extracted properly so that it doesn’t seep under the flooring and ruin the underlayment of your kitchen floor. The last thing you want is for a burst fridge pipe to lead to collapsing floorboards. It may be farfetched, but buckling floorboards happen because the flooded underlayment can loosen the tile or linoleum in your kitchen. Over time this really becomes a problem because the structure of your home can be permanently damaged, which eventually leads to costly repairs.

SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea customers have been extremely perturbed with the negative effect water damage has had on hardwood floors. The problem is that after a kitchen flood wood flooring responds slowly to moisture. Therefore it’s really important that as soon as you notice warped, cupped, or discolored wood you alert a professional at once.  Contact SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea, who has a talented team of technicians that are willing and ready to help you in your time of need.
