From Chaos to Renewal: Restoring a La Jolla Home Ravaged by Category Three Water Damage

Water Restoration

As a homeowner, one of the last things you want to deal with is water damage. Unfortunately, it can be one of the most common and disastrous events that can happen to your house. Everything from leaking pipes to natural disasters like floods can cause water damage. Not only can it damage your home’s structure and leave unsightly marks on walls, ceilings, and floors, but it can also put your family’s health at risk if mold appears or if the floodwater is contaminated with toxic agents and dangerous debris.

Fortunately, if you come face to face with extensive water damage, like one couple in La Jolla did, PuroClean of Clairemont is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to respond to your water damage restoration emergency.

A Dreadful Category Three Flood

A young married couple faced extensive water damage, affecting 80 percent of their La Jolla house. The water damage encompassed several vital areas of the couple’s home, including the living room, kitchen, hallway, and bedroom. Each space required careful attention to restore the house to its pre-damaged state.

Our restoration team undertook a series of tasks to rectify the water damage. We began by manipulating the contents to protect them from further harm. Our technicians set up containment barriers to prevent cross-contamination and minimize the spread of hazardous substances.

After extracting all the contaminated water, we removed the affected drywall, insulation, baseboards, and vinyl flooring damaged by category three water. Our crew used an anti-microbial spray on the walls to eliminate potential pathogens.

Finally, we placed our state-of-the-art equipment strategically to expedite the drying process. Three air scrubbers were deployed to improve indoor air quality by capturing and removing airborne contaminants, along with three dehumidifiers to reduce the moisture levels in the air. We also used 12 high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) certified air movers throughout the affected areas to enhance air circulation and accelerate drying.

The job took four days to complete, and the couple was delighted with the state of their home once we finished the work. Another job well done for our awesome crew!
