Washing Machine Hose Leaks and Causes Water Damage in a Brea, CA Home

2/13/2015 (Permalink)

A Brea, CA homeowner came home one evening to find her laundry room and home office had been flooded.  The adjacent rooms were covered in about two inches of water.  She inspected the laundry room and was able to discover that the hose behind her washer had broken and caused the flooding in both of the rooms.  She was nervous about going into her home office to inspect the damage because of all the electronics that were in the room and could have been on the floor.  She called an electrician to come and help her with the cords and electronics submerged in water.  Once he was able to deem the room safe, she called SERVPRO of Yorba Linda/Brea to assist with the water damage.  

When she called us, we were able to send our Production Manager, Jonathan Arcila, the same day to assess the water damage.  He was able to confirm that the issue was exactly our specialty.  He sent our Crew Chief, Waldo Roman, along with his team of water damage experts to the home to begin the process of removing all of the damaged and affected areas of the rooms.

The team arrived at the home and set to work immediately.  They worked quickly and efficiently as soon as they were assured that the electronics had been deemed safe.  In no time at all they started removing the water and the damage it had caused.  Our team had to remove portions of the walls and the flooring to ensure all of the damage was gone.  Once the affected areas had been removed, the team set up fans to completely dry out the rooms.  We wanted to be sure there was no chance mold could grow in the home.  Once the rooms were completely dry, we wrapped up and completed the project.  

The homeowner was thrilled with how quickly we were able to get rid of the water damage and dry out the home.  She was happy with our professionalism and thankful we were able to come to her home right away.  She was worried her home office would be unavailable for quite some time, but she was back in it and working in just a few short days.
