Unexpected toilet problems

In order to best dry demolition was required to make sure all moisture is removed.

SERVPRO of Southwest Portland received an early call in the spring regarding a water loss in a local home in the Portland area. The homeowner let us know during the initial call that they woke up to the bathroom overflowing with water that affected the bathroom, hallway, entry, one-bedroom, and a closet in that bedroom along with the master bedroom. They let us know that they wanted SERVPRO to come out as soon as possible to extract the water and clean up the damages.

Within 10 minutes of the call ending the crew packed up the food truck with all the necessary equipment in order to restore the home back to conditions pre-water loss. Once our crew of well-trained professionals arrived the crew chief and the homeowner take an initial walkthrough of the home. During that walk through the Crew chief is coming up with a drying plan and once the walk-through is done the crew chief then explains the drying plan.

The drying plan was as follows one we needed to place dehumidifiers to stabilize, while that is happening we start to remove the laminate flooring in the hallway, entry, and the icing room until we’re able to reach the end of the mitigation line.  Along with removing the laminate flooring we also needed to remove all affected carpet and underlayment in the bedrooms and closets.

Once that was finished we began to dry the home we needed to bring in special wall injection systems for drywall cavities we needed to cut a 1 by 1 inspection hole in the drywall in order for them to fit. Demolition was also needed in the flooring and base of certain rooms.

SERVPRO of Southwest Portland was able to get this home back to conditions preloss within only 4 days.
