  • Charlotte Home Floods While At Concert

    The customer contacted us today for emergency water damage restoration in Charlotte because they noticed water coming into their home while they were away. The customer was in downtown Charlotte attending a concert at the Blumenthal performing arts center when they got an alert on their phone that showed video surveillance of the inside of their home with things moving what actually alerted the customer was falling drywall which fell due to the water damage that was taking place. The cause of the water damage was due to a broken waterline in the upstairs bathroom however there is something that would not typically alert an alarm system or motion detecting video surveillance system but due to the amount of water damage that was taking place in the amount of water that just flew nonstop while the customer was gone the home became so saturated that drywall fell all over the place from upstairs which caused the video surveillance system to activate sending out an alert to the customers phone. After coming back to the home quickly they realized they needed to call someone fast for water mitigation services. When we arrived all of the water that fluid into the home while the customer was away was still present because we only arrive 15 minutes after they called us we immediately begin the water restoration process by extracting the water taking the photographs that were necessary and placing the drying drying appointment shortly after we finish the demolition all in all it was a very long process turning out to be a long night cleaning up the water damage to their home

    This morning we received a call for water restoration at an apartment complex in Charlotte. The apartment manager advised us that 3 units have water damage due to a broken water line in a vacant unit. Sometime during the night, the vacant top floor unit flooded when a water line in the kitchen broke flooding the entire apartment and some of the units below. When we arrived to begin the water cleanup process. Because the source of the water damage was in the vacant unit the water extraction process fairly simple giving us a good starting point to begin drying the apartment.  

  • Leaking Toilet Line Causes Water Damage to Charlotte House

  • Charlotte Home Sprinkler System Water Damage

    We received the call today for emergency water damage cleanup in Charlotte from a customer who believed their sprinkler system was malfunctioning because it went off and flooded the house though a fire was not present at the time. In our field of water restoration in Charlotte we have seen things like this happen quite a few times typically they will take place at an apartment complex or in someone’s office but mainly when there is a fire however sometimes they will give false readings and go off accidentally causing water damage to all the areas it was originally meant to protect and that is basically what happened in today’s call that we answered for water restoration services. The customer did not realize that smoking set off the sprinkler system and they only thought it was heat and smoke but the sensors on some sprinkler systems if they go off due to smoke as it is in this situation the water damage can be disastrous as the sprinkler systems put out enough water and do not stop putting out the water until the system believes the fire is no longer present and this is what creates a very very big mess in the need for water cleanup services.

  • Washing Machine Hose Break Water Damage in Charlotte

    As a water cleanup company in Charlotte we frequently respond to calls for water damage restoration that was caused from appliances that we frequently use in the house. A common issue with many appliances could be electrical or something to do with their motor or what we address in our field would be deteriorate deteriorated or broken water lines or hoses that are needed for that particular appliance to work correctly. For today’s call that we received for emergency water mitigation in Charlotte it was due to a hose that was severed for a washing machine and that type of Hose sends in a large amount of water and if it is broken and no one realizes that the water is flooding the house one could be in for very very rough situation with water damage that could extend to a large portion of the house if it was not noticed in enough time. That is exactly the situation with today’s call the customer was not using the washing machine the customer did not wash any clothes today but for some reason the pipe decided or should we say the hose decided to give way which led to a very large amount of water damage to multiple areas of the first floor of the home that now need to be repaired. When we arrived to provide our services of water damage cleanup we had to extract more water than we’ve had to this entire week as this was one of the largest calls we received this week once we were done with the water extraction we were able to begin the dry out process placing our fans and dehumidifiers where they needed to be in order to promote faster drain for this customers home. After inspecting the cause of the water damage what we realized was the hose that led to the washing machine was somewhat dry and not as flexible as those type of hoses should have been because of this the way we looked at today’s issue of water damage would be something that is similar to a lot of our calls for water restoration in Charlotte it was something that would have been preventable with regular maintenance to the washing machine such as replacing the hose every year or two but because the hose was not replaced we are in today situation cleaning up the water damage in their home.
