At Restoration Pros NY, we specialize in water damage restoration, helping homeowners recover from the aftermath of water intrusion. When we got a call from a family in Levittown, NY, about significant water damage from a leaky boiler, we knew we had to act quickly to help. The damage had affected multiple rooms, including the hallway, living room, dining room, kitchen, and laundry room. On top of that, the family had a unique challenge – a disabled family member who required special accommodations.
The Cause of the Damage: A Leaky Boiler
The family’s boiler had leaked, causing water to soak through walls, drywall, flooring, and the subfloor over a concrete slab. The affected areas included:
- Hallway
- Living Room
- Dining Room
- Kitchen
- Laundry Room
Our Solution: A Step-by-Step Approach
Facing more than just water damage, we needed a reliable plan to ensure a thorough process and successful restoration. Take a look at our steps:
Initial Assessment
We started with a thorough inspection of the damage. Our team identified areas requiring immediate attention and developed a plan to tackle the water damage and mold problems while minimizing disruptions for this family.
Water Mitigation
The first step was to remove all water-damaged materials, including drywall, flooring, and the subfloor. Using dehumidifiers and air movers, we dried the affected areas thoroughly to prevent further damage and ensure the space was ready for rebuilding.
Mold Remediation
During the drying process, we discovered mold in the walls and subfloor. We treated the affected areas with professional-grade antimicrobial solutions and removed any contaminated materials to ensure the home was mold-free.
Rebuild and Restoration
Once the space was completely dry, we began rebuilding. This step included:
- Installing new subfloors over the concrete slab.
- Laying luxury vinyl plank flooring for a durable and modern finish.
- Replacing damaged drywall and repainting all affected rooms.
- Adding new trim and ensuring all surfaces were finished to perfection.
Custom Wheelchair Ramps for Accessibility
Understanding the family’s unique needs, we built and installed custom wheelchair ramps as a courtesy to our client. This ensured their disabled family member could move safely and easily throughout the home.
Restoring Comfort: A Home Transformed with Care and Accessibility
The family’s home was completely restored to its original condition – better, even! Each room was beautifully rebuilt, with fresh walls, new floors, and thoughtful touches to enhance accessibility.
This project was about more than restoring a house; it was about restoring a family’s home while ensuring they could stay comfortably during the process.
The homeowner was thrilled with the results and incredibly grateful for the extra care we took to accommodate their disabled family member.
