Water Heater Burst in Addison, IL

After coming home from work, the last thing you want is to walk downstairs and squish when you step off the stairs. That is what happened to our customer in Addison, IL. He came home from work and upon further investigation, he realized his hot water heater had burst. The flooring needed to be removed because it is laminate flooring. Laminate flooring absorbs and holds water. It is unlikely to dry while it is in place. He was fortunate to have water only effect his walls without insulation behind them. This is good because our crew can drill holes into the walls to create air flow behind them to allow the drywall to dry in place. Typically, if there is drywall with insulation behind it, then a flood cut is required. We ensure we are as minimally invasive as possible.
