From Soaked to Secure

Our team was called to a residence in Del Cerro where a burst pipe in a neighboring unit had caused extensive water damage. The affected areas included the living room, dining room, bathroom, and a bedroom. Such incidents require immediate attention to prevent further damage and to start the recovery process as quickly as possible.

Initial Assessment and Preparation
Upon arrival, our first step was to assess the extent of the water damage. It was crucial to remove all contents from the affected areas to avoid further damage and facilitate the mitigation process. A pack-out team was deployed for this purpose, ensuring that all personal belongings were safely and carefully removed.

Drying and Stabilizing the Environment
With the areas cleared, we initiated our mitigation efforts. Our approach included the strategic setup of:

Two Dehumidifiers: These were crucial in removing most of the moisture from the air, a key step to facilitate drying.

Two Air Scrubbers: To stabilize the environment, ensuring the air quality remained safe and conducive to drying.

Thirteen Air Movers: To circulate hot air and moisture, significantly aiding the drying process.

Our equipment ran tirelessly for five days, allowing us to dry the affected areas effectively and save as much of the material structure as possible.

Removing Unsalvageable Materials
Following the drying process, we entered the demolition phase, where unsalvageable materials such as drywall, insulation, and flooring were carefully removed. This step is essential in preventing the spread of damage and preparing for restoration.

After demolition, we treated and wiped down the structure of the house with anti-microbial solutions. This critical step helps to prevent mold growth, ensuring the long-term health and safety of the home’s inhabitants.

We reset our equipment to dry the newly exposed areas for an additional day. Once complete, we removed our equipment and conducted a thorough cleanup, leaving the site spick and span and ready for the next stage of rebuilding.
