Discovering a slab leak in your home is something that no homeowner ever wants to hear.

Our team has the experience and knowledge it takes to remediate water damage properly. If water damage is ruining your home, give us a call today!

We recently received a call from a homeowner in Yorba Linda after he realized that his home had a slab leak. He told our call center that he had woken up in the morning to wet carpet and saturated drywall caused by a slab leak. Not sure how to clean up the water damage on by himself, he decided to give our call center a call. 

We immediately sent our Project Manager, Chris Trejo, out to the home to take a look at the damage. His report showed that there was wet carpet and drywall in the master bedroom, master closet and master bathroom. Chris knew that SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea would be able to remediate the damage in no time, so he called our Crew Chief, Edwin Ramirez and asked him to create a removal plan.

Shortly after the removal plan was created, the rest of our crew made their way out to the home to begin the cleanup process. We wanted to salvage as much of the carpet as we could, so we removed the carpet pad underneath and floated the carpet to dry it out. The drywall in the bathroom was also removed, but all other affected areas were dried in place.

In the end, the homeowner really appreciated our hard work. He let us know that if he ever had to deal with water damage again, he knew exactly who to call: SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea.
