Project Overview
Location:
Kitchen and laundry room — Broadripple, IN
Project Type:
Water damage restoration due to unexpected plumbing failure
Key Factors:
A hidden plumbing issue caused water to surge from behind the dishwasher and travel down into the laundry room. Floors, drywall, cabinetry, and structural components were saturated, requiring immediate professional mitigation to prevent structural damage and mold growth.
The Challenge
The homeowner began a load of laundry and noticed the washer filled but never started the wash cycle. Within minutes, water began backing up from a nearby floor drain. Concerned, they inspected the kitchen directly above the laundry room.
There they discovered a significant problem, water was gushing from beneath the dishwasher, even though it was not running. Water quickly spread across the kitchen, dining room, and pantry, reaching depths of nearly two inches.
Recognizing the emergency, the homeowner shut off the main water supply and contacted Guardian Angel Restoration, a trusted provider of Water Damage Restoration in Broadripple, IN. Our team arrived within an hour to stop the damage and begin emergency mitigation.
