Huge water loss at local home

10/13/2022 (Permalink)

Due to hardwood buckling demolition was needed to pull the hardwood.

SERVPRO of Southwest Portland received a call regarding a water loss, the customer told us that the fridge was leaking and they noticed the hardwood was starting to buckle. Once the call ended our crew of well-trained professionals arrived on the scene within 20 mins. Upon arrival it was apparent that demolition was going to take place we needed to remove the hardwood floor which would require us to detach and reset the cabinetry, in addition, the countertop near the sink is cracked and will break during detachment.

In order for the residents to stay in the home while work is going on on the island and the countertop near the sink will not be touched to give them the opportunity to use the sink. Our crew then came up with the drying plan which was to set containment around and applied anti- microbial to the black mold in the kitchen and dining room once the baseboard is detached. We then proceeded to dry out the crawl space using 6 air movers due to there being no mold apparent in the crawlspace we also removed all installations in the crawlspace.

In only 5 days we were able to restore the home to its preloss condition. SERVPRO of Southwest Portland professionals can give you peace of mind by helping make it “Like it never even happened."
