At First Call Restoration, we specialize in water damage restoration, helping homeowners get back to normal quickly after unexpected water issues. Recently, we were called to a home where a condensate pipe leak caused significant water damage in the attic and master bathroom. The homeowner was understandably worried and needed our help to get things back in order. Here’s how we tackled this water damage restoration in Stormville, NY.
We received a call from a homeowner in Stormville who had discovered water stains and bubbling on the ceiling of their master bathroom. After further inspection, they found the source of the problem – a leaking condensate pipe in the attic. The leak had been ongoing for some time, soaking the attic insulation and damaging the ceiling in the bathroom below.
Here’s how we handled this water damage restoration project to get the home back to its best condition:
Our first step was to inspect the home thoroughly. We checked the attic to identify the full extent of the damage, finding that the insulation was heavily saturated. The water had also seeped into the ceiling of the master bathroom, creating large stains and weakening the drywall. After assessing the damage, we explained our plan to the homeowner and got to work.
Although the homeowner had already fixed the condensation pipe, there was still a lot of water left in the attic insulation. We used our specialized extraction equipment to remove as much water as possible, ensuring no moisture was left behind that could lead to mold growth.
Next, we set up high-powered air movers and dehumidifiers in both the attic and master bathroom. These machines worked together to dry the insulation, ceiling, and any other materials affected by the leak. We monitored the drying process closely using moisture meters to ensure everything dried out completely.
After drying the affected areas, we moved on to the next crucial phase: removing and replacing the damaged materials to restore the home completely. Here’s what we did:
Before finishing, we did a final inspection to make sure all areas were fully restored and there was no hidden moisture left behind. We cleaned up the work areas thoroughly, leaving the home in better condition than when we arrived.
Thanks to our quick response and detailed restoration process, we were able to fully restore the attic and master bathroom. The homeowner was relieved that their home was safe from further water damage, and they were happy with how smoothly the restoration went.
