Kitchen Sink Leak Means Water Damage in Fullerton

1/25/2016 (Permalink)

How often do you really inspect the pipes under your sink? Probably rarely, if ever, right? Unfortunately, though it seems easiest to proceed this way, leaks in the kitchen are notorious for causing a lot of damage. Not necessarily because they flood, but because the leaks are slow and can contribute to mold damage. As soon as you notice there might be something wrong with your pipes, whether you’re just noticing some damp materials under your sink or you’re hearing a consistent drip, give SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea a call today.

A homeowner in Fullerton recently gave us a call after they found a larger leak under their sink. They noticed there was damage in the adjacent room and wanted to ensure the damage would not be severe. They first called their insurance agent, who told them they should call SERVPRO. The homeowner called our main call center, who then was forwarded to us as we were closest. We at SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea knew we should send someone to the home as soon as possible.

We immediately dispatched our Project Manager, Uriel Valencia, to the home to perform the initial inspection. He found that the pipe leak had spread to the kitchen, master bedroom and master bathroom. Thankfully, he found no signs of mold. From there, he called our Crew Chief and technicians out to the home to start the work.

Our technicians ended up going in and removing some of the padding in each of the rooms, but thankfully everything else—the carpet, the drywall and the bathroom vanity—all were able to be saved without any removal. Our technicians set up some drying equipment to make sure everything dried in place.

The homeowner was so happy with the work we did! She told us she would happily use our services again in the future and would tell all her friends to give us a call with any water damage issues.
