Early this morning we got a call from a homeowner that decided to install their new water heater without the help of a professional. After installing the water heater everything seemed fine until late last night he realized his house was flooding with water coming from the attic creating water damage all over.

At Property Restoration Inc on average when we meet our water damage customers at their homes it is their first time learning about water restoration and the dangers of untreated water damage. That was the case with one of our service calls in the Southend neighborhood of Charlotte this afternoon. The home owner was washing cloths this morning when the supply hose started leaking. Naturally she thought she can get up all the water herself but after a few hours of trying to dry the water with towels, blankets, and everything else you can imagine she notice how far the water traveled under the floor and realized how hard it can be to tackle water damage.
