The devastating water destruction of a residential house in the neighborhood of Ann Arbor, Michigan, occurred after a bursting basement pipe led to the damage of the place of living and residence by saturating a living area of approximately 1,200 square feet with over 5,000 gallons of water during the winter months. During the damage inspection, it was found that the water had found its way to hardwood flooring, drywall, insulation, and personal items in the whole basement and lower-story rooms. Unless addressed promptly, industry records indicate that mold can begin to grow in just 48 hours, resulting in increased costs in mold remediation worth as much as 15,000 to 25,000 dollars and health hazards in the long run.
We at Lyon Restoration decided to dispatch our own team of water damage specialists to the location within 2 hours, where we instituted measures to prevent damage by extraction, dehumidification, and structural drying. Our team located and removed the burst pipe, removed standing water, and set forth high-level drying procedures to ensure the area is not exposed to mold and durability damage caused by elevated moisture. We avoided the growth of mold by providing a thorough water damage treatment program and saved on the overall reconstruction expenses by about 60 percent when contrasted with a case of delayed treatment. Ten days were utilized in drying the property, and full restoration was finished in 6 weeks, which incorporated replacement of materials, refinishing of floors, installation of a humidity control system, etc. The house was brought back to its full operation and market value, and the homeowner experienced very low business interruption and a successful insurance claim payment.
