SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea Help with Massive Water Damage in Orange Home

5/3/2016 (Permalink)

With slab leaks, if the damage is caught early enough, it can be a quick clean up. However, if the damage is not caught early on, slab leaks can be some of the most detrimental flood damage cases we see. A slab leak is when a pipe breaks underneath the house and water starts leaking into the home. This can be contained to just one room or it can flood an entire home, depending on when the leak is diagnosed. That’s why it’s important to call SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea as soon as you notice the leak. The sooner you call, the less time the damage has to spread.

A homeowner in Orange recently contacted us when she noticed her hardwood flooring was consistently wet. She jumped online to find the best water damage company in the area and found that SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea had the best reviews. She gave us a call and we were able to immediately dispatch our Project Manager, Jonathan Arcila. Jonathan arrived at the home and performed his initial inspection. His inspection showed that the damage to the home was vast, but we at SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea would be able to handle it. 

Jonathan called our Crew Chief, Jose Melgar, to the home to lead the technicians in the removal. We first started by packing up all the things in the home to have them stored in an offsite storage unit. The homeowner also had to be relocated due to the large amount of work that needed to be done to the home. Once that was taken care of, we got to work. 

The slab leak had extended from the dining room to the entryway, kitchen, hallway, living room and all of the bedrooms. We ended up removing most of all of the wood flooring in the house as well as some of the drywall in each room. Once everything was removed, we set up seven air movers and four dehumidifiers to ensure everything dried properly.

The homeowner was so happy with our work. Though there was a large amount of cleanup that had to be done to the home, she was happy that she had ultimately chosen our services to help keep her house clean. She told us she would certainly be using our services again in the future if she had any other water damage problems.
