Water Damage Restoration in Artesia , CA

A toilet leak overnight affected the bedroom next to the bathroom and seeped into the kitchen ceiling below. The materials impacted include drywall, baseboards, and laminate flooring.

Upon inspection, moisture was found in multiple areas, including the kitchen, master bedroom, bathroom, and closet, with the kitchen ceiling having already collapsed. The cause was identified as a burst bidet, and the homeowner had involved their insurance. A proposal was provided for the dry-out process, with plans to remove affected drywall and flooring once asbestos results were received.

Technicians began the demo in the master bedroom and kitchen, removing affected flooring and walls. The adjuster confirmed the claim was covered, but it was noted that the cabinets might need removal due to water behind them. The homeowner was hesitant about removing the lower cabinets, so additional work proposals were submitted. Drying equipment was set up, and the team continued the demo.

After further inspections, the homeowner signed a refusal to remove the lower cabinets despite moisture being found behind them. The team cleaned the affected areas, set up containment, and will return for a service check. Ultimately, the homeowner decided to stop further work, and all equipment was picked up, with containment left in place per their request.
