The customer required an emergency inspection and professional restoration estimate after their home was broken into by vandals who cut out and stole the plumbing pipes. This destructive theft left open water lines flowing unchecked, resulting in a severe basement flood that heavily saturated the carpeting, seeped behind the walls, and left standing water throughout the space.
We provided an immediate emergency evaluation and detailed mitigation plan, mapping out the extensive moisture migration path from the broken pipe source across the entire flooded basement floor. Our team assessed the saturated carpeting, documented the necessity of executing a controlled flood-cut demolition along the lower walls to remove water-damaged drywall and expose the wet foam insulation, and provided the customer with a comprehensive line-item estimate for complete water extraction, structural dry-out, structural sanitization, and debris cleanup.
