Waking up in a Water Damage Bad Dream

Imagine you are sound asleep having a tranquil and deep slumber. You are relaxed as you drift through your second and third R.E.M. cycles of the night. But then, the persistent sound of water falling disturbs your peace. Drip… Drip… You jolt awake to find that this unwelcome noise results from (debatably) the worst possible source: water leaking through your ceiling. Recently, this unfortunate situation happened to a retired couple in Denver, so they called us to help.

Wake Me Up When The Flooding Ends

Not everyone has their wits about them when they suddenly wake up at 3 am, but this couple did. They tried to clean up as much of the water as they could so they could go back to sleep. Later that morning, they spoke to their neighbors and insurance agent, who recommended that they call PuroClean to assess the damage and make the restoration.

We arrived quickly on the scene early that afternoon. Our team confirmed that the source of the water was a burst water heater from the apartment above theirs. This was a slight relief for the couple as it meant that they were not cleaning up dirty or contaminated water the previous night.

Our team began the assessment of the water damage quickly so that it would not continue to spread. They located the water damage and it only affected the laundry room and the master bedroom. We got to work right away on those rooms.

Our technicians had to remove part of the drywall from the wall and the ceiling in order to remove the wet insulation inside. The structural drying technique we implemented also helped us increase the evaporation rate to help dry the remaining moisture faster. Also, the client had hardwood floors, but we were able to dry them in place with specialty equipment.

Overall, the job only took a few days and the clients were able to stay in their home for Christmas. The homeowners were very grateful for the quick and efficient work we did. They thought that PuroClean was the only one paying attention to them and helping them through this stressful event. The wife even left us a very kind Excellent Service Endorsement and a review on Google.
