Small problem turned into a huge problem

Air movers were brought in to get the family back to enjoying their home as soon as possible.

SERVPRO of Southwest Portland received a call regarding an unfortunate leak coming from a refrigerator supply line leak in a local home. The homeowner let us know that the refrigerator leak was repaired but by the time they were able to get it under control the water damage was massive. Our crew headed out and got there as soon as possible during the initial inspection our crew realized that the cabinets in the kitchen needed to be packed out along with the furniture in the dining room and kitchen.

Shortly after the pack out, our crew came up with an amazing drying plan to get this family back to enjoying their home. In the kitchen, our crew had to remove all affected vinyl planking, remove the hardwood flooring in the affected areas, pop toe kicks on the cabinets all the way around the kitchen. The toe kick is also known as a kick space it is the recessed space at the base of most floor-mounted kitchen cabinets.

In addition, we need to set contaminants to prevent dust during the demolition. Our crew wanted to make sure that we took our time because yes we want to get the job done with quickness but we also wanted to make sure we put the love, warmth, and enjoyment back into the family’s kitchen.
