We received the call this afternoon for water damage Restoration in Charlotte and a home that a sink suddenly overflowed though it wasn’t stopped up. The customer explained that she turned on the sink this morning in order to brush her teeth in her daughter’s teeth after dinner and forgot to turn the water off immediately the customer explained that she had no clue that the water would back up over the rim of the sink because this is something that she does on the regular basis. While the water was running and she forgot about it the water suddenly begin to spread out all over the carpet in the bedroom and in the hallway and leak through the first floor all the way down to the second floor of the home causing an extensive amount of water damage to multiple locations of the house. The customer was in the kitchen at the time when she noticed the water coming down and immediately ran upstairs to the see how this happened. Initially she thought that her daughter must have did something to stop up the line causing the water damage.

Water Heater in Attic Rains Down on Charlotte Home
when we get called for water damage Restoration in Charlotte there’s one thing that we frequently say when it comes to certain issues related to water damage cleanup. one of the things that we see quite a few times in more often than we should is water heaters that burst and they’re located in the attic of a home if the home is two stories that would actually mean there would be water damage on the 2 floors below if the home is three stories then there would be water damage on the three floors below. This is reason why as a water restoration company in Charlotte we do not feel that a water heater in the attic is a good idea for homeowners.

He searched online for local water damage cleanup companies near him in contacted us at Property Restoration Inc.

Old Water Line Floods Bathroom in Charlotte Home
Today’s call for water damage cleanup was from a customer that was experiencing a problem with the water line under the bathroom sink. the customer explained that she discovered water damage to her bathroom floor and her hallway when her children finish doing the chores which was part of the bathroom. one of the kids explained to the customer that after they put up some of the cleaning supplies they noticed water coming from under the sink leaking onto the bathroom floor but did not think anything of it at the time. This ended up creating a large amount of water damage to the area because of the amount of time the water was leaking and the fact that it was just sitting there for some time before the kids brought it to the mother’s attention. She contacted us for water damage restoration services shortly after she discovered it but she was unable to tell us how it happened. When we arrive to proceed with the water restoration process one of the first things that we always do as we look for the source to figure out what is causing the water damage in also figure out if the source has stopped damaging the home with more and more water migrating to different areas of the home. When we look we realize that the cause of the water damage cleanup that were working on was due to a faulty line somehow the line probably was defective when it was first purchase because they’re not supposed to leak. The customer did not change anything under the sink they did not have anything unusual under the sink but the rubber on the line did feel like it was dry for no reason and this right there is probably the main cause for the need of water restoration.

Will Insurance Cover Water Damage?
as a company providing water damage Restoration in Charlotte we frequently find ourselves answering questions that are somewhat repetitive from our water damage cleanup customer. One of the most common questions that you here in the water restoration industry is Will insurance cover water damage? The short answer is yes in most situations and it does depend on your policy water damage to your home is always covered but there are some exceptions that water damage cleanup cost may not be covered. These exceptions could be situations arising from things that exceed your policy limits for example you may have a certain limit for sewer backup coverage or you may have not had a particular endorsement on your insurance policy that would provide coverage for water damage cost. regardless of the situation it just kind of depends but in most cases water damage is covered by insurance as long as it is something that is sudden that is addressed immediately and not prolonging the further issues that water damage that is untreated can cause to a home.

Cooking Caused Water Damage for Customer in Charlotte
we received two calls today for emergency water restoration in Charlotte from a customer that was going through a very interesting situation of water damage while cooking. The customer advised that she was attempting to make crabs and steamed vegetables when she tried to wash the crabs off along with washing the vegetables to put into a pot the faucet broke causing water to spew all over the place and she did not know what to do. when she tried to turn off the water valve under the sink to slow down the amount of water that was pouring into the house the water valve was rusted and basically did not do what it was supposed to do so after frantically looking around the house trying to figure out what she could do to prevent the water damage she try to make it outside to the main water valve but did not know how to turn that off. eventually she looks for a water restoration company online and contacted us to provide the water damage cleanup services. We arrived within about 30 minutes the very first thing we had to do do to this extreme situation was turn off the valve at the main line and that is exactly what we did to slow down the amount of water that was coming into the home. Shortly after we contacted Statefarm her insurance company and proceeded with the water restoration process and hope to have her home dry in about three days.

The customer’s insurance agent with State farm reached out to us initially to explain the situation that one of their insurance customers was experiencing this issue and woke up to find water all over the home and did not know what to do. we assured the agent that we will definitely reach out to the customer and be on our way to take care of the water damage cleanup needs that this particular customer may be having. when we arrived we assess the situation and talk with the customer and realize that the main reason that they’re in need of water restoration services is due to a common issue that we see with a lot of our water damage cleanup customer a bad repair or we can say a bad install of a water line when upgrading a sink in the home. as we looked at the sink we realize that the most important part is to customer turned off the water valve under the sink but when we inspected the water line to locate the source and take photos of the source of the water damage we realize that the water line was not properly connected to the faucet at this point we decided to help him with that part at least by properly connecting it after we took photos of it for insurance purposes. then we proceeded to the water extraction and got ready to proceed with the rest of the water damage cleanup in the demolition that was needed to take place.
