SERVPRO Saves Home from Pinhole Leak

6/22/2015 (Permalink)

Pinhole leaks are sneaky. One day there’s nothing wrong and the pipe is intact, and then the next thing you know you’ve turned on the sink and your bathroom is flooding. It can start with a small drip or it can start with a deluge—either way, the water rises and ruins your home. What do you do now? Or maybe the pinhole leak is in the wall. You don’t notice it until there are water stains or bubbling drywall. The longer you wait, the more damage occurs to your precious home. It’s imperative that you know what to do in this situation: call SERVPRO.

A homeowner in Yorba Linda had a pinhole leak in their wall, but didn’t notice until the damage had already spread to five rooms. When he walked into his bathroom and found wet flooring, he knew something was wrong. His first instinct was to shut off the water, and from there he called a plumber.

The plumber arrived and was able to find the pinhole leak in the wall, but by that time the water damage spread from the bathroom, to the master closet, hallway, family room, and kitchen. The plumber recommended the homeowner call SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea to take care of the water damage.

He called us and our Production Manager, Jonathan Arcila, was able to make it out to the home that same day. He set up some initial drying equipment so the damage would not spread and then called our Crew Chief, Waldo Roman, to come out to the site with his team of experienced technicians.

We got to work immediately. We had to remove some flooring in the living room and closet, but were able to simply drill some holes in the walls for ventilation instead of removing them completely. We were even able to save all the cabinets in the kitchen!

The homeowner was so happy with the quick and efficient work we did. When filling out our survey, he gave us a perfect score and told us he would be using our services again.
