Water Damage Cleanup in Mission Viejo , CA

A cracked shower drain line in the upstairs unit was leaking into the downstairs unit, causing water damage and mold growth. The leak had been ongoing for about two weeks and had not yet been fixed. Affected areas included the hallway bathroom, master closet, and master bathroom, with drywall and insulation retaining moisture.

Actions Taken:

• Approved to start dry-out.
• Floor protection and demo in affected areas completed.
• Cast-iron pipe crack identified as the source of the leak.
• Containment was set up but later found disturbed; adjustments were made to focus remediation on the closet.
• HEPA vacuuming, final wipe-down, and sealing of wall cavities completed.
• Clearance testing scheduled.

 

Final moisture readings showed no elevated levels, containment was removed, and drying equipment was picked up. The project is now awaiting repairs.
