Water damage is a formidable opponent, especially when it’s a Category 3 loss, the most severe classification, often referred to as “black water.” In the San Carlos area, a home fell victim to this unwelcome intruder, stemming from a leaking drain under the kitchen sink. The damage extended to cabinets, drywall, and nearby flooring, with suspicions that the leak had been ongoing for 10 days.
Understanding the gravity of the situation, our technicians at PuroClean of Del Cerro promptly arrived on the scene to inspect the damage. To combat the moisture and mitigate as much damage as possible, we set up a dehumidifier, an air scrubber, and four air movers. To enhance the efficiency of the drying process, we created plastic containments to seal off the area, letting our equipment work its magic for five days.
Once the drying phase was completed, we shifted our focus to the removal of materials that were beyond salvage. Our team meticulously removed the affected cabinets, carefully shoring the countertops to prevent any unnecessary damage. We then proceeded to remove the damaged drywall and flooring, ensuring a thorough and precise demolition process.
The next step was detail cleaning, an essential phase in dealing with Category 3 water damage. We employed HEPA vacuuming to remove all dust and debris, meticulously removing every nail and screw. We then wiped down the entire structure with a cleaning solution specifically designed to eliminate the bacteria present in Category 3 water. To round off the cleaning process, we treated the area with an anti-microbial spray to prevent the growth of mold.
Once the demolition, cleanup, and treatment were fully wrapped up, we reset our equipment for an additional day of drying. This extra step ensured that the newly exposed areas were completely dry, leaving no room for moisture to linger.
At the end of our restoration journey, we were proud to have performed a clean and thorough job, returning the home to its pre-damaged condition, ready for rebuild.
