Toilet Trouble: Water Tank Causes Ceiling Collapse in Humble, TX

A seemingly minor water tank mishap can quickly spiral into a major catastrophe within your home, wreaking havoc on its structural integrity and your peace of mind. Such incidents can unleash a cascade of destructive consequences, from widespread water damage to mold growth and even compromised electrical systems, whether due to a leak, rupture, or malfunction. Promptly treating wet, damaged areas is critical to salvaging building materials, valuables, and your living space.

A Water Tank Calamity

We recently received a call from a distressed homeowner in Humble who experienced severe water damage. They were ready to move out when they returned home to pick up a few items, but they discovered the water tank to the upstairs toilet had malfunctioned. The water damage was extensive enough to affect the ceiling, causing it to collapse. This was clearly a job for our water mitigation experts.

The damaged drywall was removed due to contamination and irreversible wet damage.

An Urgent Call Warrants Fast Action

When our team of IICRC-certified technicians arrived, we immediately began our inspection and assessment procedures. Once we confirmed that the source of the damage was the water tank, we used specialized vacuums to remove standing water. This step ensured that building materials wouldn’t sustain further damage.

After completing the water extraction, we started the demo to remove debris from the premises, including portions of fallen ceiling and drywall. Then, we brought in our air movers and dehumidifiers. These state-of-the-art tools eliminated any remaining moisture in the floor, ceiling, or walls while also normalizing humidity levels in the kitchen.

At the time of this blog’s publication, our technicians are still hard at work restoring the home to its pre-damaged condition. The homeowners were relieved that our crew responded to their call quickly. Keep up the great effort, team!
