An Overflowing Washing Machine Affects the Majority of a Chino Hills Home

We received a call from a homeowner in Chino Hills after he discovered water damage in his home that was caused by his overflowing washing machine. To make sure that the damage was removed properly and efficiently, he decided to call SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea, a professional water damage remediation company.

We immediately sent our Project Manager, Edwin Ramirez out to take a look around the home. After his initial inspection, he noticed that the overflowing washing machine created water damage in the laundry room, family room, hallway, office, bathroom and closet. All of these spaces were completely affected and needed a professional’s eye to completely remove the damage.

After inspecting the home, Edwin made a call to our technicians to have them come out and get started on removing the water damage from the home. We began by performing a pack out of the homeowner’s belongings. Once that was done, we started the remediation process. We ended up removing some drywall and laminate flooring, but the tile in the laundry room was saved. We then placed drying equipment in the affected areas to make sure all of the water damage was eliminated.

The homeowner was so happy with the end results. On top of our efficiency in removing water damage, the homeowner was very satisfied with our pack out services and how well we took care of his personal belongings. In fact, he was so impressed that he asked for our team to come back out and perform a pack back of all of his items. We were happy to serve any and all of his water damage removal needs!
