Why did the customer contact us?

United Fire & Water Restoration was called to a Baton Rouge home after the homeowner experienced a significant hot water leak caused by a broken line in the hot water heater. The leak spread from the laundry room, where the water heater was located, into the closet and eventually extended into the carport. A United Fire & Water technician was quickly dispatched to assess the damage and find an effective solution to prevent further water damage and potential mold growth.

Solutions provided:

After reviewing the hot water heater and identifying the leak's path, the United Fire & Water team began the restoration process by removing the baseboards and quarter round in the laundry room. This was necessary to allow for proper drying of the affected areas and prevent moisture from being trapped behind materials. The technician also removed the water heater to facilitate proper remediation and ensure that any water or moisture was fully addressed. Specialized drying equipment, such as air movers and dehumidifiers, was then placed in the laundry room and carport to dry the affected areas efficiently.

To mitigate the risk of mold growth from the ongoing moisture, the team employed mold mitigation measures, including the use of antimicrobial cleaners and air scrubbers. These techniques helped to eliminate any mold spores and contaminants that may have developed due to the water leak. With the drying equipment running and mold prevention steps in place, United Fire & Water Restoration successfully restored the home’s interior to a safe and dry condition. By providing expert water damage and mold remediation services, the team ensured that the homeowner's property in Baton Rouge was fully restored to its pre-damage state.
