Washing Machine Leaks Floods Kitchen of Charlotte House
Water mitigation is preventable and a lot of situations that we encounter when providing water restoration in Charlotte. Today’s call for water damage cleanup was no different than some of the preventable situations of water damage. The customer called us this morning stating that their laundry room kitchen living room and dining room were drastically impacted by water damage. The customer stated that the carpet was completely saturated the vinyl flooring was peeling up in the kitchen the walls had water stains high on the bottom and much more. When looking for the source of the water the customer stated that water damage occurred from the laundry room and the water meters away throughout the house after damaging a lot of other areas from the laundry room to the garage. What makes this one a preventable situation of water damage cleanup is because this customer would not be in need of water mitigation services if it was not for their teenage son overloading the washing machine. After looking for water mitigation company in Charlotte the owner found us at Property restoration Inc. And we made our way to the house to look for not just the cause but how we can prevent this from happening in the future. When we walked inside the water was already off because the customer turned it off at the washing machine when he realize where the water was coming from but the preventable portion of water damage was strictly because they are teenage son overloaded the washing machine causing it to shake and the hose that supplies water to it to break away and flood the laundry room. Typically this could’ve been resolved rather quickly if the customers son was washing clothes and stayed downstairs at the time but like a lot of people we tend to wash our clothes before going to bed or while doing other things and not paying attention to the preventable issues that can cause water damage. Another factor is if the washing machine was not overloaded it would not have broken away and caused the water damage along with in if the customers son did not go upstairs while washing clothes late at night they would’ve heard the water running through out the night and stopped it. As a water restoration company in Charlotte we see cases of water damage like this all the time and it is nothing for us to dry out the house quickly and move on to the next water mitigation call but as an experience water restoration company we just like to share this information because this is a prime example of a preventable water mitigation call that paying attention could have prevented.

Broken Pipe Floods East Charlotte Home
We received a call for emergency water mitigation in Charlotte this afternoon when a customer returned home from work to find her whole house flooded. The customer walked in from work to find water coming from under her front door and outside of her garage when she walked inside she had no idea what was causing the water damage or how to clean it up she looked around for about five minutes and called friends and family for help in a panic because the water was still rushing into her house and she had no idea how to stop it or where it was coming from she just heard it from inside of the walls. After about 30 minutes of desperately trying to clean up the water damage and dry up as much as possible a friend recommended that she look for a water mitigation company in Charlotte and she contacted us at property restoration Inc. When we entered the house the water was still coming in and we noticed it was coming in from under the wall which indicated that there was a broken pipe inside the wall which was causing the water to continually flow and worsen the water damage. After properly assessing the situation and the scope of water damage cleanup we would have to provide we turned off the water from the main shut off valve to stop the water from coming in and proceeded with the water restoration process.

And some of these cases it is something that you would least likely expect to put you into a situation that would require the need for water mitigation services at your home but that is exactly what happened to one of our clients today. We received a call for emergency water mitigation services due to a malfunctioning appliance which is a typical cause for the need water damage cleanup. What made today’s call for water restoration services unique was not the malfunctioning appliance but it is the part of the appliance that malfunctioned that makes it unique for me. After returning from the call I did some research on water damage caused from refrigerator water filters and it is not unheard of but this is actually our first time as a water mitigation company in Charlotte responding to a water damage call due to a failed water filter in a refrigerator. The customer stated that he ordered some brand new aftermarket filters from Amazon.com and when he installed the filters it did not appear to be an issue however when he went downstairs later on in the evening to get something out of the fridge raider he realize the entire kitchen was saturated and the living room carpet was also wet and he did not know where it was coming from so while searching around for the cause of the water damage he realize the water was coming from inside of the refrigerator from the water filter area.
