Kitchen Leak Damage in Westfield

At Indy’s Restoration Team, we take pride in quickly tackling water damage restoration projects to bring peace of mind back to our clients. Recently, we were called to a residence in Westfield, IN, where a homeowner faced unexpected water damage in their kitchen.

Leak in the Kitchen After Osmosis System Installation

Our client had recently installed a new reverse osmosis system in their kitchen. Unfortunately, a leak developed shortly after installation. The homeowner noticed something was wrong when the laminate flooring in front of the fridge started feeling squishy.

Tackling the Leak and Restoring the Kitchen Flooring

Upon receiving the call, our team quickly sprung into action to assess and address the situation. Here’s how we tackled the water damage restoration process:

1. Assessment: Our experts thoroughly inspected the room to identify the extent of the damage. We assessed the affected areas, including the laminate flooring, underfloor, and the lower part of the wall that was soaked.
2. Water Extraction: Using our state-of-the-art equipment, we extracted standing water from the affected areas to prevent further damage and mold growth.
3. Drying: We used high-powered air movers and dehumidifiers to effectively dry out the damp areas, ensuring no moisture was left behind. Our moisture detectors allowed us to monitor progress and ensure thorough drying.
4. Sanitization: To minimize any potential microbial growth, we applied antimicrobial spray to the affected surfaces, ensuring a clean and safe environment for the homeowner.
5. Restoration: With the water damage remediated and the area thoroughly dried and sanitized, we moved on with the restoration process. In this case, it involved replacing the damaged laminate flooring and tackling structural issues with the underfloor and wall section close to the floor.
6. Final Inspection: The final inspection involved visually examining the restored areas, testing for hidden moisture or issues, and ensuring the functionality of restored systems. Documentation is provided to record the inspection findings, and a client walkthrough may be scheduled to address any concerns.
