Toilet overflow causes major water damage in Huntersville for one of 2 calls for service today.  

Today we had a call for a failing dishwasher that caused the need for  water restoration at a east Charlotte home.

Recently we did an article that referenced how the design of your home can lead to possible water damage or make the need of a water restoration clean up a part of your near future. This is something we encountered this afternoon during a service call to clean up water damage in Charlotte. The home had a hot water tank leak which can happen from time to time especially as the water heaters age but the main problem that caused the damage to spread further was the location of the water heater. It was located in the attic and flooded the first and second floor caving the ceilings and walls.

Dishwasher leaks can happen from time to time and today was a great example of a cause for water damage from a failing appliance. Today’s service call for water damage clean up was from a home in South East Charlotte. As normal the water was discovered a few hours after the leak begin. Our customer Mr. Holmes is a DIY homeowner and he recently put in the dishwasher. Unfortunately when her put it in he did not know the supply line was not secure and it would eventually give way causing the standing water in the kitchen we had to take care of today. This case was somewhat server as the water did a lot of damage to the cabinets and baseboards and small sections of wall. All because of a DIY job that did not go as planned the family at this home has to wait out the heat from the dehumidifier and possibly get a new dishwasher.

Today’s water clean up call was a big one. The home owner arrived to her home outside of Charlotte in Matthews to find water gushing out of her front door due to a broken pipe in the bathroom on the top floor. A large amount of the home is flooded with water damage to the second floor ceiling and bottom floor. The faucet knob to the master bath tub broke leaving this home with an extreme amount of water damage. We had to rip up the carpet in all of the upstairs bedroom and half of the carpet in the downstairs.

So often we are called to mitigate water damage due to a washing machine leak from a failure in some part either the hose or mechanically inside. For one of our restoration calls today this is exactly the situation we had to handle. Fortunately it was notice early enough that we were able to resolve potential water damage with simple water extraction and a few air movers. This could have been very worst because the laundry room was on the second floor. The family happen to notice the carpet in the hallway was getting wet before the water can get to a level to damage the walls and flow to the bottom level

This morning we had an emergency call for water clean up in Charlotte due to a toilet supply line leak at a condo in South Park. The water flowed from the middle floor to the bottom floor unnoticed through the night because the master bedroom is on the top floor. It was discovered in the morning when the owners woke up to go to church this morning.

Contacting a Charlotte water restoration company is extremely important as soon as you notice possible water damage in your home. Luckily for Mr. Richards outside of Charlotte in Mint Hill he noticed a major water leak before going to sleep tonight. The gravity of a washing machine hose leak doesn’t seem like much to someone who has never had a hose bust but the rate of water coming out of the hose unnoticed for long periods of time can quickly turn into a costly problem.
