When a water loss occurred in Ocean View Hills due to a faulty dishwasher supply line, the swift and professional response from a team at PuroClean of Bonita, led by one of our lead technicians, Junior, was critical in managing and mitigating the damage effectively. Here’s a closer look at how we handled the situation and restored the affected property to its pre-damage state.
Immediate Response and Initial Assessment
Upon receiving the call, Junior and his team quickly arrived at the site to assess the extent of the water damage. We discovered that the main entrance and the kitchen were the most affected areas, with significant moisture levels in the cabinets and drywall. Understanding the urgency, we immediately set up plastic barriers to contain the affected areas, preventing any further spread of moisture throughout the property.



Equipment Setup and Monitoring
To begin the drying process, we strategically placed 2 dehumidifiers and 6 air movers around the affected areas. These powerful tools are essential in extracting moisture from the air and materials, thus accelerating the drying process. Our team diligently monitored the progress daily, adjusting equipment as needed to ensure optimal performance and the most effective moisture reduction.
Detailed Demolition and Salvage Efforts
Protecting the property during the mitigation process was a priority. We laid ram board and plastic over the hardwood floors to shield them from potential damage during demolition. We then set up a HEPA air scrubber for the duration of our demolition process. Our team carefully removed the lower cabinetry, preserving the cabinet faces for potential reuse. We also supported the unaffected countertops with precisely cut 2x4s, demonstrating our commitment to conserving as much of the original structure as possible. Next we performed a two-foot flood cut along the perimeter of the affected drywall, removing it in squares as well as the soaked insulation.



Cleaning and Antimicrobial Treatment
After removing the damaged materials, our focus shifted to thorough cleaning and disinfection. The areas were then meticulously cleaned with a HEPA vacuum to eliminate residual dust. Following this, we applied an antimicrobial treatment throughout the area to prevent future mold growth and ensure the space was thoroughly sanitized.
With the cleaning complete, we reset our fans to dry the newly exposed areas thoroughly. By the next day, the moisture was eradicated, and the property was ready for the rebuilding process. Our job is not just about restoring properties but also about alleviating the stress that comes with such unfortunate events.
