Condo Flood Damage in Wesley Chapel

The other night, we received a water damage emergency call from Wesley Chapel, Florida.  A condo owner went to use his washing machine and somehow the water overflowed through the machine and flooded a large area of his new condo.  Not good.

He called us and we sent a flood cleanup team out right away.

When the team arrived, a lot of damage had been done already.  The washing machine that had leaked was a conventional model (not front loading) which typically consumes about 40 gallons per wash cycle.  It was evident that these 40 gallons had flooded his condo.

As a side note, front loading washing machines cut water use by nearly 40 percent and use only 20 to 25 gallons.

Back to the flooding, our team immediately sprung into action.  They had to remove water soaked items and remove all excess water.  The team then proceeded to work through the night to completely dry out the area and perform remediation to prevent mold growth.  Mold will begin to grow within as little as 24 hours of water damage if the area is not remediated.  Fortunately for the condo owner, our team was able to completely restore the area by the next day.  While it was a long night, everyone was pleased that no further damage was done.

So what happened in the first place to cause the flood?
