Client Situation: HVAC Leak  Caused Water Damage To Bensalem, PA Home

The homeowner discovered a slow leak from the HVAC system’s drain line, which had become blocked, causing water to overflow and seep under the laminate flooring throughout the first floor. The property, built on a concrete slab, experienced extensive water spread, leading to microbial germination. Prompt and thorough intervention was necessary to contain the damage and prevent further contamination.

MDL Restoration’s Approach to Water Damage Mitigation in Bensalem Home

MDL Restoration responded with a detailed and strategic plan to mitigate the water damage and address the microbial contamination:

  2. Water Mitigation: The team removed the laminate flooring and any affected drywall to access all contaminated areas. Advanced drying equipment was used to ensure all areas were thoroughly dried, preventing further microbial growth.
  3. Microbial Remediation: To address the microbial germination, MDL Restoration implemented rigorous remediation protocols. This included treating the affected areas with antimicrobial solutions and ensuring that all contaminated materials were safely disposed of.
  4. Preparation for Reconstruction: Once the mitigation and remediation were complete, the cleaned areas were prepared for reconstruction. This involved ensuring that all surfaces were adequately dried and treated to prevent future issues.
  5. Insurance Assistance: Although the homeowner had a separate contractor for the reconstruction, MDL Restoration provided detailed estimates for both mitigation and repair services.
