At Indy’s Restoration Team, we recently completed a water damage mitigation project in New Palestine, IN, to help a worried homeowner. Facing a challenging situation caused by a frozen furnace in the attic, we quickly responded to repair the damage spread across different rooms on the main level of the house.
A Call from the Homeowner About Frozen Furnace Water Damage in the Attic
Our client, a homeowner in New Palestine, IN, reached out to us because of the visible signs of water damage in their house. With our experience in damage restoration, we assessed the situation and created a detailed plan to minimize the damage.
Our team identified the epicenter of the water damage in the living room, where telltale signs of bubbly drywall signaled the severity of the situation. But, the scope of the damage extended beyond the living room, affecting the front foyer, hallway (mudroom), shared kitchen-dining room area, and more.
Tackling Frozen Furnace and Its Impact
The steps we took were designed to tackle the specific needs of each affected area while ensuring thorough restoration and preventing further damage. From containment measures to specialized drying techniques and careful sanitation, our mitigation process was tailored to minimize the impact of the water damage.
- Assessment and Planning: We started by thoroughly assessing the extent of the damage across the affected rooms. This crucial step enabled us to create a tailored plan to tackle each area’s unique requirements.
- Setting Up Containment: We set up containment barriers using specialized materials to isolate the affected zones. This step ensured that the mitigation efforts were fruitful while protecting the surrounding spaces.
- Drying Out the Area: Using a combination of powerful fans, dehumidifiers, and air movers, we started the drying process to eliminate excess moisture from the affected spaces. This step is pivotal in preventing further damage and preventing the growth of mold and mildew.
- Vinyl Flooring Removal: To be sure that everything was water-free, we removed the vinyl flooring from the affected rooms. This enabled access to the underlying structures, allowing us to tackle any water seepage and prevent potential issues down the line.
- Air Scrubbers and Antimicrobial Treatment: We recognized the importance of maintaining air quality and preventing microbial spread, so we used specialized air scrubbers and applied antimicrobial agents to sanitize the affected areas properly.
- Final Drying Round: To wrap everything up, we did a final round of drying to ensure that all traces of moisture were eliminated.
- Restoration: At the very end, we completely restored the living room and front foyer area by patching the walls, and painting them with a new color.
