Part 1: The Second-Floor Flood
A failed braided supply line in a 2nd-floor bathroom sent water spreading across almost the entire upper level.
The Upstairs Damage:
💧 Bathroom: Vanity, flooring, and drywall removed due to trapped water.
💧 3 Bedrooms & Hallway: Saturated flooring and bottom drywall removed to expose wet subfloor and wall cavities.
💧 Bonus Room & Stair Landing: Water spread into the bonus room and down toward the stair landing - we removed materials to expose the subfloor and wall cavities for direct drying.
The Restoration Process:
1️⃣ Containment: Isolated the work area to protect unaffected living space.
2️⃣ Controlled Demo: Precision removal of wet, non-salvageable building materials.
3️⃣ Sanitation & Scrubbing: Cleaned, sanitized, and ran Air Scrubbers (AFDs) for safe indoor air quality.
4️⃣ Structural Drying: Deployed commercial LGR dehumidifiers and high-velocity air movers to pull excess trapped moisture from the framing.
Water travels fast—especially from a second story!
