Slab Leak in Chula Vista Home Calls for Water Damage Restoration

Water damage can be stressful to handle when it happens. Clogged gutters, broken pipes, a slab leak, and severe weather events like thunderstorms or hurricanes can cause unexpected water damage to your property.

No matter the cause, PuroClean of Clairemont is here to help you with your property restoration needs. We provide restoration services for water damage restoration, fire and smoke damage, mold restoration, and biohazard cleanup.

An Unusual Case

Recently, our team received a call for an unusual water damage restoration request: the client detected a slab leak. A slab leak is a leak that has formed in the copper pipes beneath the concrete foundation of a home.

Upon further inspection, our team discovered the leak in two separate areas, affecting 90 percent of the home. A slab leak is complex because homeowners cannot detect it until it’s too late and severe water damage has occurred.

With the source of the water damage correctly identified, our team went to work to restore the owner’s property promptly and effectively.

The Next Steps

The first step in the water damage restoration process was performing a two-foot flood cut throughout the house. A flood cut removes the drywall from the affected area to dry the structure properly.

Then, our team deployed our certified PuroClean equipment to increase the drying rate of the home. Our air movers and dehumidifiers ensured that the excess moisture was removed from the affected areas before we continued. PuroClean uses state-of-the-art tools and technology that guarantee effective drying speed with minimal disruption.

After the home was completely dried, we concluded the remainder of the restoration, such as repairing the damaged drywall. Our client was pleased with the skill and expertise demonstrated by our incredible technicians. They were thrilled to see their home returned to its pre-loss condition. Kudos to our team for a job well done!
