Gulf Coast Worship Center Water Damage Restoration

Recently, we were working with Pasco County to help solve a flood damage situation in New Port Richey. A parking lot was not allowing rain waters to proceed towards a drain properly and that was resulting in continuous flooding within the lot and a nearby ditch. While we were helping find a solution and helping them install a water pump, we had the Pastor of the Gulf Coast Worship Center, located near the lot, come out and talk to us.

While speaking with the Pastor, we were surprised by the fact the church had not experienced any flooding due to its proximity to the frequently flooded parking lot. We were surprised until the Pastor casually mentioned the water his maintenance man had been finding daily ever since Tropical Storm Debby. Uh huh…



We asked the Pastor if we could see the area where the water was being found. He led us to a staircase that led in from the outside to the side of the stage at the front of the congregation area. Apparently, the maintenance man would find water daily ever since Tropical Storm Debby. He would then proceed to remove the water with a shop vac.

After hearing this story, we decided to look around for any other signs of water damage. We immediately noticed that the congregation was extremely humid. The Pastor explained that one of his air conditioning units were no longer working.
We immediately realized that the church indeed had a water damage problem and we were guessing that there was most likely a well-developed pond underneath the stage. As water damage and mold experts, we can tell you that excess water, flooding and humidity are not good things.

Water Damage Riverview: House Flood

Recently, we worked on a major water damage issue in Riverview, Florida. The homeowners came home to an unexpected flood. They lost a lot of belongings and their house had to undergo a major restoration.

The trouble is, when it comes to water damage, it is most often unexpected. No one expects a pipe to burst or even damage from sewer backup. The trouble is that water damage can become a real problem if it is too severe and it can cause more than one issue including mold growth.
Water damage may occur if there is a flood or even a leak somewhere in the house. These leaks can happen at virtually any time, though the most common occurrences include the bathroom, roof leaks and pinhole leaks. Bathroom water damage can be as slight as excessive humidity that causes mold to grow, to sewer damage resulting in toilet overflow, causing a massive flood that will stream out from the bathroom and to the rest of your house. There have been reports of homeowners who were asleep when the sewer damage occurred and they didn’t notice the backup until morning at which time the majority of their house was flooded by contaminated sewage water and materials.

In some scenarios, especially in the Riverview area, homes may be flooded by outside sources.

Water Leak in Florida Kitchen Causes Major Flood Damage

Sometimes when we get emergency water damage restoration calls, they are not as bad as we think they are once we get to the site.  However, other times, like in the case of a call we got this past weekend, they are worse!

We received the call late Sunday night.  The homeowner described that she had come home to a massive house flood.  At first, she couldn’t figure out what was causing the flooding.  And then she walked into the kitchen…

Water was gushing out from underneath her kitchen sink!

Immediately, she called us at 1-800-DRY-ME-OUT.  We were there as fast as we could get there.  And wow…this was some house flood! Most of the house was flooded: the living room complete with laminate floors, the den which was carpeted, the bedrooms which were also carpeted and of course the kitchen.

Water Damage Plant City

Recently, we received an emergency water damage after hours call at Advanced Restoration Inc. for a serious issue in Plant City, Florida.

The homeowners came home to a flooded garage and bedroom.  Fortunately, they knew to call the water mitigation experts immediately at 1-800-DRY-ME-OUT.  We promptly sent out our emergency response team to their home.

Upon arrival, our certified techs first went to the garage to assess the flooding.  Fortunately, it wasn’t as bad as they thought as only half of the garage was affected and not the entire space.  The techs then ventured into the house to assess interior water damage.  In the bedroom, they indeed found some signs of flooding and again, it was better than expected as only a small portion of carpet had been affected.

Because the homeowners acted so quickly, the bedroom carpet damage was salvageable and the techs could promptly begin a carpet drying regimen.

As for the garage, the excess water would be extracted and restoration and remediation would immediately follow.

So what caused the house flooding in the first place?

Gereaux's Path: Helping One Man Walk Again

Since we began 1-800-DRY-ME-OUT, we have talked about the fact that we not only restore buildings, we restore lives.  Recently, we got to do just that and help out a good friend who has a unique mission.  However, what he needs is much more than what we alone are able to provide.
Erick Gereaux is a young gentleman who lost use of his legs, triceps and hands after a horrific car accident in 2007.  After struggling for almost 5 years, Erick has decided he has his own project: he wants to walk again.  But he needs everyone’s help.



Read a letter from his sister about the accident here: Gereaux’s Path: Helping One Man Walk Again
Since that tragic day in 2007, Erick has accomplished a lot.  Although he has not walked again, his enthusiasm, zest for life and determination have blown all of us at the water damage restoration company away.  He is an amazing person and we are now asking all of you out there to join us in Erick’s journey and help him walk again!

To be able to walk, Erick will need financial help to access the rehabilitation programs he will need to help realize his dream. With the help of a non-profit organization HelpHOPELive, he is working on raising the monies he needs to facilitate a complete rehabilitation.  We have donated to Erick’s progress and now ask all of you to donate whatever you might be able to.  Be it $5 or $100 or more.  Together, 1-800-DRY-ME-OUT is confident we can help Erick do what most of us take for granted every day: standing, being able to make our own food, driving and generally living independent lives self-sufficiently.

We will be following Erick on his trek to success on our blog and Facebook page.  You can also follow Erick at his blog: Gereaux’s Path

Or his Facebook page: Gereaux’s Path to Walking

To donate to Erick’s path to walking, please visit his donation page here: Erick Gereaux Benefit.

Will you help us make Erick’s path a bit easier?

Together, we believe we can make dreams come true.  As a community, we will help Erick walk again.

Join us.

With Warm Regards,
Everyone at Advanced Restoration 1-800-DRY-ME-OUT

Landlord Refuses Water Damage Restoration in Riverview

Unfortunately, this actually happens more than you know.  You are a renter, you have a flood and your landlord refuses to properly restore and remediate your home.

Our most recent interaction with such an incident came when we were called out to Riverview, Florida on account of a flooded kitchen.  Our 24/7 response team got to the site asap to find serious water damage setting in.  We were called out by people who were renting the apartment.  Somehow, the sink faucet didn’t shut off and the sink eventually overflowed with water.  Of course, this happened while they were out so for several hours, water was overflowing out of the sink and onto the floor and into the kitchen.  By the time the tenants came home and turned off the tap completely, the damage had been done.



Our water mitigation inspectors immediately noticed the water damage done to the cabinets and kitchen flooring.  This would be a serious cleanup job and then mold remediation would have to take place to prevent mold from growing.

However, the landlord wasn't on board with us cleaning up the water damage.

Solve Water Damage Lutz and Prevent Mold

Last week, we began discussing probable causes of water damage and moisture-related indoor air quality problems in your home.  We also began talking about how to identify the signs of excess moisture and humidity.  Today, we are going to identify some ways that you have keep your home dry as a way to stop water damage and prevent mold.  When your home is dry, you no longer need restoration or remediation!
To begin, condensation is a large contributor to water damage in the home.

Condensation can be caused by several factors including: excessive moisture production, inadequate ventilation with outdoor air and cold surfaces.  Excessive moisture production may come from inappropriate use of humidifiers, evaporation of water and damp basements/crawlspaces.  Water evaporation can come from several sources including: showers, cooking, aquariums, washing machines, dishwashers, drying wet clothes, standing water, plants and breathing from people or pets.  Condensation caused from cold surfaces includes: inadequate heat to certain parts of the home (blocked off rooms etc.), drastic temperature swings, poor air circulation within rooms, low quality windows, blocked heating sources and poor insulation in attics and walls.

When it comes to solving moisture problems, reduction and/or removal of the moisture is the priority. Learn more here: Solve Water Damage and Prevent Mold
