Water heaters account for a good amount of our calls for water restoration in Charlotte nationwide this is pretty much the same for water mitigation companies. This is because when a water heater goes bad, they are holding a large amount of water and the way it fails can determine if the water remains inside or creates a disaster with water damage in the surrounding areas of the home. With the risk of water damage in mind a failing water heater is pretty much a guarantee for most homeowners at some point and time and this morning was not any different. Early this morning we received a call from a customer in the university area of Charlotte due to a leaking water heater spraying water into the kitchen causing water damage to the entire first floor of the home. The water heater itself was not in bad shape but the inlet pipe appeared to have rusted before the shutoff valve which meant there was no way to turn the water off to the water heater unless water was turned off at the main. To minimize the amount of water damage we tried to explain to the customer how to turn the water off at the meter before we arrived but rightfully so the customer was hysterical and did not know what to do. When we arrived the first thing, we did was turn off the water to the house and started with water damage cleanup.

After getting settled at work the customer felt concerned that the water was still running and before calling us for water restoration services they wanted to confirm. So the customer look on their phone to access the video surveillance of their home and verified that there was definitely water damage taking place because he could hear water running and see things that look like it may have been damaged by water in the video so at that time the customer called us for water restoration services and made their way home. When made it to the customers home before they did and could tell water damage was taking place because water broke the seal of the property and was coming under the walls and out the door. As we waited for the customer to arrive to mitigate additional water damage we turned off the water to the house from the street.

Charlotte Home has Water Damage From Broken Pipe in Wall
A customer called our company this afternoon for water restoration in Charlotte after noticing water damage to the baseboards of a wall along with water coming from underneath it. Early in the week they first noticed discoloration to the baseboard and thought the drywall felt soft but ignored it thinking it was due to the weather. After coming in this afternoon from running errands they noticed water everywhere with water damage to multiple areas of the house. After following the trail of water damage by the sound of running water they found the source was the area where the baseboard was discolored. After contacting us for water restoration services we came immediately to extract the water and start the process of drying the water damaged areas of the home.
