SERVPRO doing whatever they can to allow the family to move back into their home ASAP.

SERVPRO of Southwest Portland received a call after hours received a call regarding a giant water loss in a local home in the Portland area. The customer informed us on the call how stressed and panicked they were when they were woken up to find that their hallway had water and it was all coming from their laundry room. 

Once we arrived on site the homeowner told us that the water loss was caused by the sink in the laundry room overflowing with water. During the initial inspection, it was aware that it affected the upstairs hallway, bedroom, downstairs hallway, bathroom, and two closets downstairs. Our crew benign coming up with a drying plan once affected materials we brought in multiple air mover and dehumidifiers in order to help this family get back on their feet.

With all the air mover and dehumidifiers causing a lot of noise the homeowners decided it would be best that their family leave the home while equipment was in place. We wanted to dry the home as soon as possible we ran into a few problems with the drying process. A circuit popped in the downstairs hallway and bathroom, in addition, the circuit feeds the light and serval other outlets. Our team put their heads together and found alternate ways to power the equipment and was able to dry the home in only three days.
