This weekend was a busy weekend! Saturday evening, our team received an emergency call about water damage Land O’ Lakes regarding flooding in the bathroom of a rental home. We sent out a restoration technician immediately. When he arrived to the property, he encountered a much larger problem. Here is the story:
When the tech arrived to the rental house, he was greeted by the renters who had just moved in that day. When they had gone to use the hot water, no water was coming out. They called their landlord who advised how to turn it back on and to their absolute dismay, water suddenly started pouring out from underneath the sink vanity in their guest bathroom! Water was coming up through the floor and they could hear it running in the wall. They immediately shut it off and their landlord called us to come out to the scene.
When our tech arrived to perform mitigation, he first had to investigate and try to find out what was causing the water flooding. Unfortunately for him, and as is common for all of us in the restoration business, he had to get a bit dirty as he had to go into the crawlspace underneath the home. Sure enough, there was a flood lining the entire crawlspace. After a while, he was able to determine that the hot water line to the washing machine and dishwasher was broken and leaking. When the renters turned the hot water on, it had caused the leaking to begin. Even though it was a few minutes between the renters finding the leak and turning off the water, the amount of water damage that had occurred was extreme. The situation would have to be completely restored.
