Charlotte Home Water Heater Pipe Break
Early this morning received a phone call for water restoration in Charlotte from a customer who returned home from running errands when he got home they realize there was water all over the place and this was a typical issue water was coming from the ceiling water was coming through the walls water was all over going down the steps and even outside of the house the reason for the water damage that she was suffering was because the water heater is located in the attic and It had a burst pipe leaving the hold in desperate need of a water mitigation company.
The main problem due to the water heater feeling is when the water heater is located in the attic water runs everywhere from the top down and not just out so mean well if it was in the garage it would’ve just ran out of the house but because it’s in the attic it runs from the top down or leave the house until he goes out of the house the water was running for about an about an hour or so for about two hours before the water damage was discovered and that was enough time to cause significant water damage to the home a lot of the home will have to go to the demolition process as part of water restoration services.
While providing water mitigation services a lot of the demolition we had to do was about 50% of the drywall in the second floor and almost all of the drywall on the first floor and then a little bit of the drywall in the basement a lot of the floors were suffered water damage as well. we had to rip up all the laminate flooring most of the carpet in some of the vinyl there was so much damage that the house is not going to be livable for a long time but that just comes with it that is part of the situation we’re dealing with water damage cleanup

Dishwasher Leak in Charlotte Cause Power Outage
This morning we answered a call for water damage cleanup in Charlotte for a home in the NODA community. The homeowner started the dishwasher and 30 minutes later the electricity went out in the house. While making his way to the fuse box he noticed he was standing in a large amount of water which is the reason the power went out. In situations of water damage when water comes in contact with some electrical appliances it can cause a power surge in the house as a safety measure. This is safety 101 in water restoration, water and electricity do not mix. Because of what the customer explained when they called for water mitigation services we made sure to bring our generator to the home to proceed with the water cleanup without having to turn on their electricity due to safety concerns. After a few hours we where able to find the source of the water damage which was a broken hose on the dishwasher.
