Emergency Water Mitigation After Pipe Burst – Alexandria, VA

This project involved emergency water mitigation services for a residential property located in Alexandria, Virginia. A sudden pipe burst caused extensive water damage throughout the basement and first floor, putting the structure and indoor air quality at risk.

Scope of Work

Emergency on-site inspection and moisture assessment Water extraction from basement and first-floor living areas Installation of industrial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers Removal of water-damaged drywall and baseboards Antimicrobial treatment to prevent mold growth Continuous moisture monitoring until optimal dryness levels were achieved

Challenges

The primary challenge was the rapid spread of water into hidden wall cavities and subfloor areas. Additionally, the homeowner needed a fast turnaround to prevent mold development and avoid displacement from the home.

Our Solution

We deployed high-capacity extraction equipment within the first hour of arrival and implemented a targeted drying plan based on infrared moisture readings. By isolating affected zones and maintaining controlled airflow, we ensured efficient drying without impacting unaffected areas of the home.
