Washer and Dryer Water Overflow in Sacramento

1/13/2021 (Permalink)

This washer/dryer unit was the cause of loss in this Sacramento home. We provided an initial inspection and performed work to prevent further damage.

A customer from Sacramento called SERVPRO of East Sacramento/West Arden-Arcade when they found that their washer and dryer unit in the upstairs had overflowed into the downstairs. 

We began by providing an initial inspection for the customer, we set up controlled engineering to stabilize the environment with equipment to begin the drying process. After a few days, the wet materials were still not fully dry, and we began the mitigation process. We removed the wet materials in the affected area which were: particle board and drywall where the washer and dryer unit were located on the second floor. The wet ceiling on the first floor was removed. We discovered organic growth (mold), and proceeded to chase the growth along the ceiling. Using a moisture reader, we found more moisture on an exterior wall, and proceeded to remove that affected material as well.

Our scope of work typically removes affected and wet materials to reduce further water damage in your home. We coordinate with your insurance adjusters prior to our work.
