Providing Water Damage Restoration in McLean, VA after a Basement Flood

Back in January, we provided water damage restoration in McLean, VA, to a home after it suffered basement flooding. The clients were a couple in their 40s, both government employees.

We see this type of damage frequently, but to the homeowners, this was a major disaster. Here’s what happened and how we restored the property following severe flooding.

Even though the flood mostly affected the basement, the source of the water did not come from the basement. The supply line from the second floor of the house had burst. As a result, water poured down into the basement through the ceilings and walls, thoroughly soaking them. It also affected all of the carpet and furniture in its path.

So much water collected that it was 1.5 feet deep in the basement. What’s worse, the drywall ceiling on the ground floor collapsed due to the sheer weight of the water coming down.

As we usually do in our water damage restoration jobs, we identified all of the wet items first — including the drywall — and we cut out the non-restorable portions to be able to dry the walls and ceilings properly.

We also always work to protect the home’s non-affected contents with plastic sheets before any we begin repairs or restoration.

The insulation in the exterior walls was an additional complication that made restoration a bit more difficult, but it’s all in a day’s work.

In the end, we managed to dry out the place securely and efficiently in three days.
