Water damage can be worst depending on the location of the source and with current standards of new home construction some things such as convenience are not well thought out and increase the need for a water restoration company to clean up instances of water damage in your home. Today’s call for water mitigation in Charlotte was a prime example of how the design of your home increases the chances and amount of water damage that happens when a leak occurs. While washing cloths the clamp on the drain hose became loose and drained all cycles of water onto the floor creating a large amount of water damage in the laundry room with saturated baseboards, drywall, and flooring. The water damage in the laundry room was somewhat to be expected in this type of situation but there was also water damage in the bathroom because of the location of the laundry room and how the water leaked everywhere due to the loose hose. The laundry room was on the second floor directly above the bathroom. It was made that way as a convenient design for homeowners. This is a good idea if washing machines never fail and leak water throughout your home. Because washing machine hoses can break and appliances fail from time to time due to the location of the laundry room and the risk of water damage it’s location was not a good idea and made today’s water restoration job more difficult.
