This mornings call for water cleanup in Charlotte came from another customer in need of water restoration due to a common cause, a broken water line to the water heater. I’ve probably said this a million times regarding one of the most frequent reasons a customer needs water restoration services at their home or business but water heaters are typically one of the greatest causes of water damage for our clients in this light that Nationwide in the water mitigation industry. Today’s customer made it home from church to find their home completely saturated due to the break in the line at the water heater when asked when’s the last time they maintenance the water heater the homeowner basically said they have never even looked at it since they purchased the house about 8 years ago. After inspecting the loss area we noticed rust on the inlet pipe that had the break causing the water damage.
