Water Heater Leak Damage

A homeowner in Winnetka, CA called SERVPRO of Chatsworth/Stevenson Ranch when they noticed water leaking from their water heater. Upon arrival we found that the drywall where the water heater was stored along with the shared wall behind it was wet and placed a dehumidifier to stabilize the environment and begin drying materials. Next, SERVPRO of Chatsworth/Stevenson Ranch removed the water heater closet and affected drywall and plaster walls. We HEPA vacuumed the area and applied an antimicrobial solution to prevent further damage. After detail cleaning the affected areas, SERVPRO of Chatsworth/Stevenson Ranch arranged for the replacement of the water heater so the family could return home to running hot water. The homeowner was thrilled that his family could return home and could now call a contractor to come out and finish up the work!
