SERVPRO Combats Water Removal and Deodorization in Crossville Home

When a water heater tank has a seal failure, the result can be anywhere from 20 to 80 gallons of water released into the home. Ideally, the water removal should begin as soon as possible. However, that is not always possible in cases where the water spillage happens when no one is in the home.

One Crossville family needed water removal service after a couple of nights out of town when they came home to find their water heater had expelled large amounts of water throughout their home. Their first call after the insurance company was to SERVPRO to begin the process of extracting the water from the affected areas. Technicians arrived within hours and accessed the damage and formulating the best cleanup methods.

The water was being handled as a gray water level situation because the water had been in the home for at least 24 hours but less than 48 hours. The truck-mounted pumps were used to pull the standing water from the floors and where the carpeting met tile flooring, the weighted extractors pushed the water from deep in the carpet pad for thorough drying.

Only a few furnishings were affected, and they could be raised on blocks and dried in place since only the feet, not the fabrics had been in the water. Air movers were positioned to direct the air up and out of the area while a dehumidifier reduced the moisture to ensure complete drying. Surfaces that were wet needed wiping down with anti-fungal cleaners to ensure mold nor bacteria remained. SERVPRO technicians determined that using a UL fogger as the most effective for deodorizing the hard floors and affected areas to remove the unpleasant odor left behind by the water.
