Wax Ring Causes Water Damage in Mission Valley Home

Mold Restoration

As unfortunate as it is, it’s not uncommon for in-home appliances to fail sometimes. It’s inconvenient enough if a toilet stops working, for example, but it’s even worse if the malfunction causes problems in other home areas.

We at PuroClean of Clairemont understand the frustration of dealing with water damage and mold growth from faulty appliances. We’re always here to help make the cleanup process as quick and painless as possible. 

Small Device, Big Water Damage

In July 2022, we received a call to a residential location in Mission Valley where a homeowner was experiencing mold and water damage. Our team of trained technicians arrived at the home promptly.

After carefully assessing the home, we found that the wax ring in the toilet of a second-story bathroom had failed, causing a leak that affected both the downstairs bathroom and kitchen. The extensive leak had caused mold to form. Mold growth can occur when there is excess moisture.

Using our PuroClean Quick Dry System™, we successfully dried out all the affected structural materials and removed any remaining standing water. We used state-of-the-art equipment and tools, such as air movers and dehumidifiers. Our team also relied on high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration to eliminate all lasting signs of moisture.

Our specialized equipment helped with the drying process.

We also conducted a thorough mold removal and deodorization, which involved cleaning and sanitizing all areas where the mold had been growing.
