Water Damage in Lincoln City Oregon
Plumbing pipes in homes can be compromised over time. If rusted pipes are not fixed or replaced this could lead to a water leak inside of your home. A pipe that burst could be behind a wall making it hard to see where the problem is coming from. It’s crucial to hire a professional water mitigation and mold remediation company like Disaster Master to mitigate the water damage as soon as possible. If water just sits on the floors or the drywall gets saturated the structure of the home could be compromised. It’s recommend to have a plumber out to fix the leak and water mitigation specialist to help dry out the structure and remediate the damage.
Recently in Lincoln City, Oregon there was a vacation home that had water seeping out of the corners of the home. The neighbors noticed the water coming out of the home and called the home owner. As soon as the owner found out of the water loss at her home she called Disaster Master to mitigate the water damage. The technicians responded within one hour to the job site to assess the situation, set a HEPA air scrubber as well as drying equipment to stabilize the moisture levels and get moisture readings throughout the affected areas. There were contents that needed to be organized and cleaned in order to clear out the areas that needed demolition work due to the water damaging the carpet and sheetrock. The homeowner believed the water damage came from a rusted pipe from a bathroom toilet. Once the contents were out of the way the technicians set up containment walls and removed the affected carpet, pad and tack strip in the affected areas. The floors were then wiped down with an antimicrobial to remediate any visible microbial growth. Next, two foot flood cuts of the affected drywall were removed and dispose of. The inner wall cavities were HEPA vacuumed and all visible microbial growth was remediated. The structure needed a few more days to dry out with drying equipment such as dehumidifiers and air movers. The structure was dry and remediated from the water damage. The home was ready for repair work on the drywall and flooring. The homeowner was very satisfied with the work that Disaster Master did because it helped save her vacation rental from structural damage.
