Water Heater Burst Damage Restoration

Water heaters, freezers, dishwashers, washing machines, and air conditioners all use water and can result in significant water damage. Small leaks can occur and go unnoticed, allowing water to seep into your floorboards and saturate your carpets. Water damage can be caused by any appliance that uses water.

Washing Machine: When not using their washing machines, many homeowners leave their water supply hoses on. Washing machine lines contain pressurized hoses that can rupture, resulting in gallons of water spilling onto the floor. The hoses can have loose fittings, causing slower leaks behind your washer where mold can grow.

Dishwasher: Usually, leaks occur in dishwasher supply lines. Under your kitchen sink, you will usually find drain lines and supply lines where water supplies are disposed of. As these lines are under heavy pressure, leaks can start slowly but eventually burst. There is often bacteria in the drain line.

Heating & Cooling Equipment: It is common for air conditioners to leak behind walls and ceilings. Leaks of this type can be difficult to locate, and they can also lead to mold growth. The whole system should be inspected for leaks and blockages by a professional.

Refrigerator: Leaks from the base of the refrigerator can take longer to notice and can cause mold growth. A refrigerator with built-in water lines or an ice maker is much more likely to spring a leak, as, like a dishwasher, the supply lines need to be highly pressurized in order to get the water to the right place.
