The Challenge: Multi-Level Water Damage
The incident began in the home’s upstairs toilet. The water supply line, a critical component often taken for granted, gave way and unleashed a torrent of water. As water traveled, it caused damage to multiple rooms. But the water didn’t stop there. It found its way downwards, leaking through the second floor as well. This included…
- Major Damage in the Bathroom: The flooring, subfloor, and trim bore the brunt of the leak, being so close to the source of the water.
- Destruction in the Bedroom: The carpet was soaked, damaging the subfloor beneath.
- First Floor Havoc: The kitchen and bathroom ceilings were dripping, and the integrity of their structures was at stake. As water leaked in through the ceiling lights, much of the area was damaged.
- Drywall Distress: Water seeped into the drywall, a critical component of the home’s structural integrity.
