One of the calls we received today was for water restoration due to a water heater failure at a home on Waycross Dr in Charlotte. It resulted in a very small area of water damage due to the fact that the customer caught it in time. While on his way to work this morning he was leaving his garage when he realized that there was a lot of water in the corner initially he also realized there was very low water pressure in his home but he had no idea this was something that would result in the need for water damage cleanup services at his home he thought it was just an issue with the city water lines. While in the garage about to back out after noticing the puddle he walked over to the water heater and seeing water hissing out of the bottom as well as the area at the top. he immediately looked online for water restoration companies as he followed the trail of water in realize it was also in his laundry room and not just in his garage. once he went into the laundry room he realize that the water damage was just to the drywall in some areas of the flooring but luckily it did not make it to the kitchen which would have resulted in a much more amount of water restoration services needed. after looking online for water restoration companies in Charlotte he contacted us at Property Restoration Inc and we made our way to his home to dry everything out and proceed with the water damage cleanup

Charlotte Home on Waycross Dr Water Damage
In water restoration the location of a water heater is something that is critical to the amount of water damage a particular customer may have at any given time if there is a failure in some way with the water heater. Today’s call for water restoration in Charlotte resulted in one of the worst-case scenarios when it comes to a water heater failure leading to water damage in the home. The customer called very frantically and afraid because water was coming from the ceiling of her home and she had no clue why and did not know how to stop it as it appeared to be raining into the home and everywhere causing water damage to multiple areas of the house two levels of ceilings multiple walls and floors and multiple bedrooms. As we talked with the customer to kind of get a idea to how we’re going to address this water damage situation we realize that the problem was most likely a water heater in the attic and not a broken pipe. The customer advised us that they purchased the house a few months ago but they had no clue where the water heater was and with our experience as a water restoration company in Charlotte we realized that is typically the only reason water would come from the ceiling flooding someone’s home.

Water Damage Atkinson Dr in Charlotte
There’s nothing like the first day of school when it comes to students getting ready for their big day or parents getting ready for their first time without their children after a long summer. but today’s first day of school came with a surprise for whenever I customers on Atkinson drive in Charlotte when they realize that the water was still on in their house after waiting for the bus to arrive. The customer called us for emergency water restoration in Charlotte and advised us that they walk their daughter to the bus stop for her first day of school and typically on the first day two buses are late and that did not disappoint today but because the bus did not show up on time the customer stated that she was at the bus stop for approximately an hour. During this time the water was still running in her home because she forgot that the water was on as she was rushing to get her daughter out to the bus stop. So after some time the bus finally came and she walked into the home realizing there was water coming from under the front door then she realized at the water must have still been on so she frantically ran into the bathroom area and turn the water off but it was too late because the water damage already took place and there was so many areas in the house that needed water mitigation services she had to look online for a water restoration company in Charlotte as soon as possible. once we arrived we went to the typical demolition process that is involved with water restoration and we quickly got to the water damage cleanup process by removing all of the wet materials and extracting what we can as well as saving what we can at the same time. luckily for the customer it was only an hour as he was at the bus stop and the way the water migrated through the house it didn’t bring water damage to all areas as it may have if the water was running longer than one hour so at the end of the day this was a large water damage cleanup call but is something for the customer to learn from but also be thankful from at the same time.

Leaking Dishwasher Floods McDowell St Home in Charlotte
A customer called us for water restoration in Charlotte this morning due to a leaking dishwasher in their kitchen causing water damage to the floors in the kitchen area as well as the carpeted area in the living room. After initially trying to soak up most of the water their self the customer realized it was just a little bit too much and decided to contact us strictly for extracting at first but once we arrived to assess the water damage situation and how much possible water damage cleanup was necessary we advised the customer that just simply extracting the water was not going to do the job as the materials inside of the floor and parts of the drywall were extremely saturated and if we did not remove them as needs with our typical water restoration process it may create mold. the customer agreed and allowed us to proceed with the water damage Cleanup in the appropriate manner so after we extracted the water we removed the kitchen flooring as well as the flooring in the living room and look through some of the other areas in the house to evaluate the moisture readings so we could have a good idea of how much equipment we needed to properly dry out the home and rid it of any moisture and water damage that may remain.
