Unexpected Disaster: Slab Leak Spells Kitchen Reconstruction for Retired Couple

A common occurrence in homes and businesses, water damage can happen anytime without warning. What causes it? Often, it’s things like leaking pipes, malfunctioning appliances, a sudden weather event, and even human error.

Regardless of the source, water damage can be costly and disruptive. That’s why acting quickly and reaching out to a professional restoration company like PuroClean of San Dimas is important. Our certified technicians are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to respond to your emergency promptly and efficiently mitigate the damage.

Small Leak, Big Consequences

One such sudden water damage catastrophe occurred when we received a call from the PuroClean home office folks about a possible slab leak in a retired couple’s home near us. Upon arriving at the site, our team discovered that kitchen cabinets near the refrigerator were wet, and the drywall behind them displayed an unusually high moisture level.

Knowing the importance of identifying the source of the leak, our skilled technicians coordinated with the homeowner to conduct a leak detection test before starting any work. We determined that the supply line to the refrigerator was the culprit, causing water to seep into the cabinets and the drywall.

We immediately contacted the insurance company and started working on mitigating the water loss, remediating the microbial growth, and restoring the kitchen using our state-of-the-art equipment, such as high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) certified air movers and dehumidifiers.

Our crew finished the hefty job in less than three months, including demolition, build-back of the kitchen, and replacing the home’s entire flooring.

Because the homeowner added a few items that the insurance company did not cover, we accommodated their requests. The result was a fully restored kitchen that exceeded the couple’s expectations. Incredible work, team!
