A Major Misfortune: San Diego Home Experienced Severe Water Damage

Water damage isn’t for the faint of heart: it’s arduous, expensive, and can cause long-term structural problems that necessitate costly repairs and renovations. Property owners must worry about moisture removal, mold remediation, restoring personal belongings, and even carpet replacement.

Additionally, severe water damage can lead to mold growth in areas unseen by the naked eye, creating a health hazard. Identifying and acting quickly on any signs of water damage as soon as possible is vital to minimize risk and cost.

At PuroClean of Clairemont, we promptly take action to minimize the damage and efficiently handle the restoration project until it’s restored.

A Torrent of Water

Recently, we received a request for our services from a San Diego homeowner. The client, a family of three, experienced a significant water loss in their home. The damage originated from an upstairs toilet backup. The contaminated water flowed downstairs, affecting 80 percent of the house.

The extent of the damage reached the garage, kitchen, laundry room, multiple hallways, and primary bedroom. The Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) categorizes water restoration of this magnitude as a category three loss, requiring a comprehensive restoration procedure.

Time was of the essence to remove the water and prevent potential mold growth, which thrives in a moist, wet environment. Our team immediately extracted the water from the home to avoid further issues. We utilized specialized PuroClean equipment to expedite the process with the help of our skilled technicians.

Then, we demolished the damaged drywall, materials, and furniture in the affected areas.

We then began the drying process involving air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the structure. Our crew monitored the moisture levels to ensure that all areas were properly dried.

With the materials dried and replaced, the last step was cleaning and sanitizing the home.

We set up a containment barrier to prevent the spread of mold and then went to work to clean and sanitize the property. We treated the area with PuroClean’s advanced sanitization solutions to remove and prevent mold, mildew, and bacteria.

Despite experiencing a significant category three loss, our team finished the job within a week. Our technicians displayed remarkable efficiency in processing and documenting a large amount of content while promptly executing the mitigation work. As a result, our performance and swift turn-around time left a strong impression on our clients. Way to go, everyone!
