Broken Water Softener Causes Water Damage on Hardwood Floor in Sandusky, MI

Water damage can happen when you least expect it, and that was the case for a homeowner in Sandusky, MI, when their water softener malfunctioned. The leak went unnoticed at first, allowing water to seep into the hardwood flooring. By the time they discovered the issue, the floor had already started to absorb moisture, creating the potential for warping and mold growth.

That's when SERVPRO® stepped in to make it "Like it never even happened."

Our Restoration Process

Upon arrival, our team quickly assessed the damage and began extracting the standing water using the Injectidry water extraction system. This advanced equipment allowed us to target moisture trapped beneath the hardwood without requiring extensive demolition.

To further accelerate the drying process and prevent secondary damage, we strategically placed air movers to increase airflow and dehumidifiers to pull excess moisture from the air. By maintaining optimal drying conditions, we successfully restored the flooring without needing a full replacement.

The Result

Thanks to our specialized drying techniques and quick response, we were able to save the hardwood floor and prevent further structural damage. The homeowner was relieved to see their home restored to its preloss condition, proving once again that SERVPRO® is the trusted choice for water damage restoration in Sandusky and beyond.

Local Caro children came out with their family, as well as many others, to partake in our free bowling, pizza and pop night.

At SERVPRO of Huron, Sanilac and North Tuscola Counties, community is at the heart of everything we do. To celebrate and give back to the amazing people who make up our local area, we recently hosted a Free Pizza, Pop, and Bowling Night at the Brentwood. The event was an absolute blast, bringing together families, friends, and SERVPRO® team members for an evening of fun, food, and connection.

While the event was all about fun, it was also a great opportunity to showcase a little bit of what SERVPRO is all about. Between frames, attendees could visit our SERVPRO booth, where we shared insights about the services we provide. From fire and water restoration to mold remediation and construction and cleaning, we were proud to educate the community about how we help local homes and businesses bounce back from unexpected challenges.

Sump Pump fail in Caro

Water at bottom of stairs at Caro Area District Library.

At SERVPRO of Huron, Sanilac, and North Tuscola Counties, we pride ourselves on fast, professional service when disaster strikes. Recently, we were called to the Caro Library after a sump pump failure caused water damage. Thanks to our rapid response time, expert team, and state-of-the-art equipment, we were able to restore the library quickly and efficiently.

A Swift Response Within 30 Minutes

When the call came in, we knew time was of the essence. Our team arrived at the Caro Library within 30 minutes, ready to tackle the water intrusion and prevent further damage. Water can spread quickly, so the sooner it's dealt with, the lower the risk of structural damage and mold growth. When a sump pump fails, it is critical to get the water out as soon as possible so more doesn't keep spreading.

Advanced Equipment for Effective Cleanup

Once on-site, we immediately deployed our cutting-edge equipment to address the situation. Here's a breakdown of how we got the job done:

• Rover Extractor: This high-efficiency machine allows us to quickly and thoroughly extract standing water from carpets and hard surfaces. The rover extractor uses its weight and suction power to pull water from deep within the affected areas.

• Dehumidifiers: After the water was removed, we set up commercial-grade dehumidifiers to dry out the air and prevent any lingering moisture from causing long-term damage or mold growth.

• Air Movers: Our powerful air movers accelerated the drying process by increasing airflow across floors, carpets, and walls. This helped ensure that every part of the library was dried out as fast as possible.

"Like it never even happened."

In true SERVPRO® fashion, we worked quickly and efficiently to restore the Caro Library to its pre-damage condition. We understand how important it is for a community space like a library to be up and running, so minimizing downtime was our top priority. Thanks to our fast response and meticulous attention to detail, we made it "Like it never even happened."

If your home or business is ever affected by water damage, SERVPRO of Huron, Sanilac, and North Tuscola Counties is ready to respond 24/7. Whether it's a failed sump pump, storm damage, or plumbing issues, we have the expertise and tools to get the job done right.
