Water damage from backups and overflows in the bathroom are a frequent occurrence that can be prevented with regular maintenance. This mornings call was from a sink overflow that caused the need for water restoration services. Last week once of our water mitigation calls was from another home in Charlotte with a sink overflow but they are different in 1 way one was from a sink with water flowing while the stop was set and today’s is from a clog. Basically, both where preventable but one was due to maintenance and the other is because the customer forgot water was on. The end result is 22 thousand in damages from water damage clean-up between both homes.
