Broken Toilet Leads to Home Water Damage in Tampa

The PuroClean Certified Restoration Specialists team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to ensure we respond to your emergency property damage call.

Coming Home to a Flood

We recently received a late-night emergency call from a retired homeowner in Tampa, Florida. She’d returned from an outing to find that the water supply line to her toilet had broken, subsequently flooding 90 percent of her home.

Our dedicated team arrived on site at around one in the morning and quickly got to work assessing the level of water damage. We determined the water leak’s source using state-of-the-art infrared and moisture meters. Then, we created a plan of action to resolve the damage.

Our technicians began by extracting all of the standing water. We removed all the water from the carpet and flooring pad using specialized equipment that uses the technician’s weight.

Once we completed the water removal, we removed the baseboards from the flooring and drilled holes into the walls, so we had access to the internal wood framing. Doing so ensured it dried properly and efficiently.

Drying equipment, such as dehumidifiers and air movers, was set up in the areas with severe water damage. The residence returned to its pre-loss condition in four days, and the overjoyed homeowner praised the results. Congratulations to our incredible team for a job well done!
