  • Charlotte Home on Nash St Floods From Water Heater Leak

    As a water restoration technician in Charlotte it is often then I tell people that one of the most common causes for calls for water damage cleanup that we received from customers it’s due to an issue with their water heater or an appliance with water heaters being the number one cause for the need for water mitigation services.  This morning we received a call from a home in Charlotte off of Gnash the street where the customer told us that he was outside cleaning his car when all of a sudden you realize there was water coming to his feet and he seen water coming from his door he had no idea where it was coming from or why but he knew this was something very serious because of the possibility of water damage occurring to his home at that time.  After looking for a cause of the water damage he noticed that the water was coming out of his water heater at the pace of a fire hydrant with water going under the walls into the other rooms of this house flooding his kitchen and his dining room leave and eggs is significant amount of water damage to the walls and floors in both of those rooms of his house. He tried to turn the water off looking for a knob but it was unsuccessful because the source was a break in the water heater at a point where turning off a knob would not help. After looking for a little longer he went outside to the Watermain and turn the water off to the house at the meter and then proceeded to look for water mitigation company in Charlotte it’s come provide the restoration services that he was desperately needing at the time. We arrived to provide water restoration services at his home approximately 30 minutes after he called and we went right to work.

  • Charlotte Home Water Damage From Refrigerator Hose Leaks

    Has a water restoration company and Charlotte we receive calls for water damage cleanup for many reasons dealing with appliances that most people would not think are able to cause so much damage especially water damage. This afternoon we received a call from a customer in need of emergency water mitigation at her home in south Charlotte because she was cleaning her refrigerator and pulled it out to clean from behind it to sweep up little items that may have fell. In the process while she pulled the refrigerator away from the wall the hose broke causing water to shoot everywhere in the kitchen freely to the point that it caused water damage to a majority of the kitchen and dining room. At first the customer was very panicked and tried her best to stop the water instinctively she turned off the valve but because of the age of the refrigerator and how it was connected the shut off valve was stuck and water just kept coming in without a way to stop it.  After looking on line for water restoration company is and Charlotte and reaching out to see if we were available to come and help one of the things that was of extreme concern for us and for the client was the fact that the water was still coming in while we were on the phone with her because of this we tried to give her advice on how to turn the water off from the meter to prevent further water damage happening to her house. Unfortunately she was not able to turn it off and by the time we arrived about 20 to 30 minutes after she initially called there was a substantial amount of more water damage for us to clean up.
