As a water cleanup company in Charlotte we frequently respond to calls for water damage restoration that was caused from appliances that we frequently use in the house. A common issue with many appliances could be electrical or something to do with their motor or what we address in our field would be deteriorate deteriorated or broken water lines or hoses that are needed for that particular appliance to work correctly. For today’s call that we received for emergency water mitigation in Charlotte it was due to a hose that was severed for a washing machine and that type of Hose sends in a large amount of water and if it is broken and no one realizes that the water is flooding the house one could be in for very very rough situation with water damage that could extend to a large portion of the house if it was not noticed in enough time. That is exactly the situation with today’s call the customer was not using the washing machine the customer did not wash any clothes today but for some reason the pipe decided or should we say the hose decided to give way which led to a very large amount of water damage to multiple areas of the first floor of the home that now need to be repaired. When we arrived to provide our services of water damage cleanup we had to extract more water than we’ve had to this entire week as this was one of the largest calls we received this week once we were done with the water extraction we were able to begin the dry out process placing our fans and dehumidifiers where they needed to be in order to promote faster drain for this customers home. After inspecting the cause of the water damage what we realized was the hose that led to the washing machine was somewhat dry and not as flexible as those type of hoses should have been because of this the way we looked at today’s issue of water damage would be something that is similar to a lot of our calls for water restoration in Charlotte it was something that would have been preventable with regular maintenance to the washing machine such as replacing the hose every year or two but because the hose was not replaced we are in today situation cleaning up the water damage in their home.
