Water heaters and water damage are one of the most common causes of situations that require a customer to contact a water restoration company to dry out their house. That is exactly why our customer on matheson street had to contact us this morning because the a water heater felt that it was the perfect time to flood the house with all the water that was inside of it and at the worst location possible. As we’ve discussed in previous situations with water damage clean up a water heater in the garage is a wonderful place but a water heater in the attic is almost certainly a disaster waiting to happen as it is in today’s call for water dams clean up in Charlotte. When we arrived to our customers house to go through the water restoration process in get everything ready to dry out 1 of the 1st things we looked for was the source of the water damage and the customer directed us to the 2nd floor into a set of stairs that takes you to the attic where the AC is located as well as to water heater. When we think about water dam is clean up and water heaters in the attic 1 of the things that come to mind is Isaac new ince discovery or lessons I should say on gravity what goes up must come down and that is exactly why this situation of water damage was so badd as well as most cases when a water heater is an attic is what goes up must come down and with so much water above all that water would rain down on the floors and walls beneath creating a larger area of water damage then would have been the case if it was located in the garage.
