Water mitigation is preventable and a lot of situations that we encounter when providing water restoration in Charlotte. Today’s call for water damage cleanup was no different than some of the preventable situations of water damage. The customer called us this morning stating that their laundry room kitchen living room and dining room were drastically impacted by water damage. The customer stated that the carpet was completely saturated the vinyl flooring was peeling up in the kitchen the walls had water stains high on the bottom and much more.  When looking for the source of the water the customer stated that water damage occurred from the laundry room and the water meters away throughout the house after damaging a lot of other areas from the laundry room to the garage. What makes this one a preventable situation of water damage cleanup is because this customer would not be in need of water mitigation services if it was not for their teenage son overloading the washing machine. After looking for water mitigation company in Charlotte the owner found us at Property restoration Inc. And we made our way to the house to look for not just the cause but how we can prevent this from happening in the future. When we walked inside the water was already off because the customer turned it off at the washing machine when he realize where the water was coming from but the preventable portion of water damage was strictly because they are teenage son overloaded the washing machine causing it to shake and the hose that supplies water to it to break away and flood the laundry room.  Typically this could’ve been resolved rather quickly if the customers son was washing clothes and stayed downstairs at the time but like a lot of people we tend to wash our clothes before going to bed or while doing other things and not paying attention to the preventable issues that can cause water damage. Another factor is if the washing machine was not overloaded it would not have broken away and caused the water damage along with in if the customers son did not go upstairs while washing clothes late at night they would’ve heard the water running through out the night and stopped it. As a water restoration company in Charlotte we see cases of water damage like this all the time and it is nothing for us to dry out the house quickly and move on to the next water mitigation call but as an experience water restoration company we just like to share this information because this is a prime example of a preventable water mitigation call that paying attention could have prevented.
