Water Leak Repairs

Water heater compartment

The Challenge:

We often encounter water damage problems that require immediate action. Some are acute and others are chronic. This one was acute caused by a braided steel  flex line from the water between two bathrooms that springing a leak. The owner responded to a phone book ad.

The idea:

Rebuild the two bathrooms quickly as they were living in a hotel, and update them as we could not find preformed tubs and showers we had to make new ones. This project was more involved than originally thought, as the damage was wide spread by the time it was uncovered.

The Solution:

Whatever the problem, we explore it and expose it all looking for the smoking gun. Once identified, we deconstruct as much as necessary but as little as possible working with the insurance adjustors to repair the immediate problem and settle upon a repair solution.

The Time Frame: This project took 8 weeks to complete.

Kitchen Water Damage Repair

The Challenge:

This is a home where the owners noticed some hardwood floor cupping on a Friday and called to set an appointment for Monday at 3pm. Upon our arrival the owners had heard a loud snap and greeted us at the door.

The Idea:

On removal of counter tops and cabinetry, the owners decided to upgrade from laminate to granite, and replace their sink too.

The Details:

We tore into the flooring and cabinetry to find the problem and had it fixed within a few minutes. Turns out a refrigerator water line fractured and sprung a leak.

The Solution:

The owners decided to upgrade from laminate to granite, and replace their sink to just to get the fridge out and stop the leak. Cleanup and repairs were extensive however, the result are stunning. We assisted the owners with material selections and were able to keep a temporary kitchen operational. I even took them to dinner the night their floors were being sealed.

The Time Frame: 7 weeks
