  • Water Damage From Freezing Pipes

    With the bitter cold of the winter setting with unusual temperatures well below what the Charlotte North Carolina area is used to many people are waking up with frozen pipes only to return home after work to a flood. When pipes freeze they sometime expand and can cause a leak that can cause a large amount of water damage in your home. This can take place suddenly or gradually due to the leak. Some customers will notice the water damage immediately and others may not notice it for days or weeks depending on the amount of water leaking out of the damaged pipe. This is not as common in the Charlotte area but with temperatures in the teens for the past week it is happening. If you notice water coming from behind the walls this may be what is happening and you should contact Property Restoration Inc for emergency water restoration services to dry out the water damaged areas of your home.

  • Drying Concrete after Water Damage

    During a recent water damage project for one of our customers in Charlotte in the south park area we had to remove her hardwood floors from the slab because of buckling. After this we went forward with the normal drying process we do after any flood and everything seemed to dry except for the foundation. It was puzzling at first as we thought could it be because the moisture content in concrete can be difficult to lower for a variety of reasons.

  • When Does Water Damage Happen

    If there is one thing I have learned in the Charlotte water restoration industry it is that water damage can happen at any time but when it comes for the average home owner it happens when we least expect it or if we are not aware of it. In the past 2 weeks we helped dry out water damage from 6 or 7 homes and the next 3 statements are what 5 of the home owners told us when asked how did the water damage occur.

    1. 3 people said, When I came in from work? The water was pouring out of the house.
    2. I was grocery shopping and when I got home the ceilings where caved in.
    3. After our vacation we came home to a mountain of water with buckled floor and sagging walls and ceilings

    Water mitigation technicians hear the above statements on a regular basis and they all have one thing in common. As stated the homeowner either did not expect to have to call a restoration company for water damage clean-up services or the home owner just did not know about the flooding while it was happening after all you can’t predict a flood but statically thou water damage can happen anytime it typically happens when you’re not around to simply turn the source of the water off.
