A Slab Leak Causes Water Damage and Mold in a Yorba Linda, CA Home

11/13/2014 (Permalink)

When a Yorba Linda homeowner came home from work one evening, she noticed a puddle of water in her living room.  Not knowing where the water came from, she grabbed some towels and cleaned up the mess.  A few days later, the same thing happened.  This time, she decided to call a plumber to see where the water could be coming from.  The plumber determined there was a slab leak under the living room floor.  He was able to fix the leak, but he suggested she call SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea to see if water damage and mold cleanup were required.  

She called our office right away, and after speaking with her, we sent our Production Manager, Chris Trejo, to the home to investigate.  Unfortunately, not knowing the puddle of water was the result of a leak caused the homeowner to wait longer than she should have to call out a professional.  Because of this, the water damage and mold growth was extensive.  Had she called sooner, we may not have had to provide mold cleanup services to her.  But, she did the right thing in calling us as soon as the issue was brought to her attention.  

The day after Chris was at the house, we sent our Crew Chief, Waldo Roman, to the home with his crew to begin the mold cleanup and water damage restoration.  Our experienced team was able to remove the entire mold from the home.  Once we completed the mold removal, we set up an air scrubber to remove any mold spores from the air.  The customer was thrilled with our service and very thankful we were able to remove all of the mold and water damage from her home to create a healthy living environment once again.
