Broken Pipe in Wall at South Charlotte Condo
We received a call this morning for water damage cleanup in Charlotte from a customer that was badly in need of the water mitigation company to clean up the water he noticed throughout his first floor of his home after he awoke this morning. After arriving to provide water restoration services one of the first things that we typically do is we look for the source of the water damage and try to follow the path of the water damage to make sure that we are definitely at the source of the water damage. One of the first things we noticed was a lot of peeling at the baseboard of one of the walls though all of the baseboards were damaged this one wall had a lot of healing from it because that was the wall that the water was coming from so we got to work turned off the water at the main and begin the water extraction process and it took us about an hour to finish extracting the water. As we got around to the most complex part of water damage restoration the demo portion we started out by removing the baseboards in cutting out the drywall in the area that we felt was the source and we were exactly correct after we opened up the drywall you could see a gas inside of the pipe that was inside of the wall typically when we enter calls for water mitigation we do not see holes in pipes that big but it appeared that this hole in the pipe was something that the homeowner causeed the night before when hanging photos on the wall.
