Water heater flood

A homeowner in Glendale, CA called SERVPRO of Chatsworth/Stevenson Ranch to come out and help after her water heater bursts, spilling water into multiple rooms. SERVPRO of Chatsworth/Stevenson Ranch arrived to find that her garage, pantry storage room, mud room and bedroom were affected by the water loss. The cabinetry, wood flooring, drywall and raised foundation were affected in the pantry (shown). We placed high powered air movers to begin drying the materials and several days later found that most of the materials were still wet and determined they would have to be removed. SERVPRO of Chatsworth/Stevenson Ranch laid plastic on the floor and began removing the drywall. Next, we applied anti-microbial solution to the affected areas. SERVPRO of Chatsworth/Stevenson Ranch then removed the cabinets, additional drywall, the wood flooring and the vinyl flooring found beneath. We disinfected the entire pantry and HEPA vacuumed the area. The homeowner was thrilled she could now have her contractor come finish the job!
