Flushed with Success: Overcoming a Toilet Supply Line Break in St. Louis

March 25, 2024
Dan and Tina Benton

At ABC Environmental Contracting Services, we take pride in restoring homes and lives when unexpected disasters strike. Let us share with you a recent water damage restoration St. Louis, MO project we completed, that exemplifies our commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction.


Water Damage Caused by a Toilet Supply Line Break

A homeowner returned from a relaxing vacation to a nightmare scenario: a toilet supply line break had caused water to leak throughout their home. From the basement to the kitchen and bathroom, the damage was extensive. Ceilings had collapsed, wooden floors were warped, and belongings were soaked. It was a distressing sight, to say the least.

Tackling Supply Line Break

Upon arrival at the scene, our priority was to assess the extent of the damage and create a detailed mitigation plan. We wasted no time in springing into action. Here’s a breakdown of the steps we took:

Assessment and Planning

We thoroughly inspected the property to identify all affected areas, using moisture meters to measure the extent of saturation. During our inspection, we found water-logged carpets upstairs, destroyed ceilings in the master bathroom and kitchen, soaked kitchen cabinets, flooded bedrooms, and wooden floors showing signs of mold growth. Understanding the full scope of the damage allowed us to formulate a strategic plan tailored to the client’s specific needs.


Water Extraction

Using state-of-the-art equipment, we quickly removed standing water. Our powerful pumps and extractors ensured that no trace of excess moisture remained, minimizing the risk of further structural damage and mold growth.


Structural Drying

With the water removed, we used industrial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers to speed up the drying process. Our goal was to restore optimal humidity levels and prevent secondary damage to the property.


Demolition and Removal

In some areas, such as the upstairs hallway and kitchen, the damage was severe enough to require demolition. We carefully removed damaged flooring, and kitchen cabinets, and cut through drywall in the bathrooms to access and treat affected areas.


Content Pack-Out and Cleaning

We carefully packed and transported damaged belongings to our facility for thorough cleaning and restoration. From furniture to personal items, our team used advanced techniques to salvage as much as possible, providing peace of mind to our client amid chaos.


Structural Repairs

Once the affected areas were thoroughly dried and sanitized, we started with the restoration of structural elements. From repairing ceilings to replacing damaged flooring, we spared no effort in returning the home to its pre-loss condition.


Devastated Clients Felt Relief with Their Home Restored

Thanks to our rapid and effective intervention, the homeowner’s distress was transformed into relief and gratitude. What was once a scene of devastation now stood as a testament to resilience and restoration. Our client could once again enjoy the comfort and safety of their home, free from the remaining effects of water damage.
