Emergency Water Damage Restoration After Bathroom Valve Failure in Lake Tapps, WA

Services Provided: Water Damage Restoration
Application: Residential

A Lake Tapps, WA homeowner reached out to Restoration 1 of South Sound after discovering widespread water damage throughout their home. The source of the issue was a failed supply valve in the master bathroom located on the second floor. Because the water leak had gone undetected for some time, nearly every room in the house was affected—including the crawlspace—resulting in a need for prompt and professional water damage restoration services.

Our team responded quickly to assess the extent of the water intrusion. The initial inspection confirmed that the damage was significant, with moisture having spread across multiple floors and into structural areas. We developed a comprehensive mitigation plan tailored to the layout and materials of the home to ensure effective moisture removal and prevent secondary issues like mold growth.

The project required extensive demolition and drying services, which spanned a total of nine days. Using commercial-grade drying equipment, including air movers and dehumidifiers, our technicians worked methodically to remove water from walls, flooring, ceilings, and substructures. A particular focus was placed on minimizing the homeowner’s disruption and preserving undamaged areas. One of the more notable aspects of the project was our ability to save all of the kitchen cabinets and countertops—an outcome the customer greatly appreciated, especially given the potential cost of replacing those items.

Throughout the restoration, we maintained clear communication with the homeowner to keep them informed and comfortable with the process. By the time mitigation was completed, the structure was dry, stabilized, and ready for the next phase of restoration. The homeowner expressed their satisfaction by leaving a 5-star review, highlighting the professionalism, speed, and attention to detail shown by our team.
