Water Damage to Home in Wilson

This family’s Wilson residence experienced serious water damage after their boiler malfunctioned. SERVPRO of Wilson/Nashville has the expertise and equipment to mitigate residential water losses just like this one.

One June afternoon, the homeowners called our office terribly upset. A water line from their boiler ruptured in the ceiling of their kitchen a few days previous. Luckily, they were able to contact a plumber to stop the leak and prevent any further damage. We were at the customers house within an hour to inspect the extent of the damage. As you can see, the cabinets, counter tops, hardwood floor, and appliances had all been drenched and coated with drywall.  After explaining the mitigation process, the homeowners were impressed and confident in our ability to change this, "Oh No!" situation to an, "Oh Yes!" happy ending.

Our technicians arrived shortly after. Once all the furniture had been moved and wrapped with plastic, the technicians had found that the cabinets were too saturated with water that they were starting to warp out of shape. The remaining affected drywall on the ceiling was cut out neatly and by the end of the first day of mitigation, the majority of the hardwood floor had been removed.

Normally drying a small space such as a kitchen, takes 3 - 5 days. This Kitchen took a little longer to dry due to plaster walls. (A house built in 1933 was sure to have plaster somewhere!) After consulting with the homeowners and the insurance adjuster, it was deemed necessary to remove the plaster. Once the drying was complete, the repairs began. It was a piece of cake! Although it took longer than a few days, the family was very grateful to be able to use the space again; they were very pleased with the final results!
