Restoring a Bathroom After a Burst Corroded Pipe In Largo, FL

At Chris' Carpet Service & Water Restoration, we recently completed a Largo water damage restoration project for a residential homeowner. Here you can read more about how we handled water damage restoration of the client’s bathroom after a burst corroded pipe.

Steps We Took to Tackle Burst Corroded Pipe Water Damage

We followed a detailed and well-planned process to handle water damage. We made sure our client’s home was restored to its original condition. Here are the steps we took to tackle this severe water damage incident:

Initial Assessment

We arrived at the client's home shortly after receiving the call. The homeowner reported that a pipe had burst in the bathroom, causing significant water damage to the drywall and tiles. We began with a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the damage and identify any potential safety hazards.


Water Removal

The first step in our restoration process was to remove the standing water. We used high-powered pumps and wet vacuums to extract as much water as possible from the bathroom. This step was important to prevent further damage and to reduce the risk of mold growth.


Drying and Dehumidification

After removing the standing water, we focused on drying the affected area. We set up industrial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers to remove moisture from the air and materials. This process made sure that all hidden moisture was eliminated, preventing mold and mildew.


Removing Damaged Materials

Next, we removed the damaged drywall and tiles. The corrosion and water had caused significant damage, making it necessary to replace these materials. We carefully removed the affected sections to avoid any further damage to the surrounding areas.


Cleaning and Sanitizing

Once the damaged materials were removed, we cleaned and sanitized the bathroom. This step was necessary to make sure that any bacteria or contaminants were eliminated. We used specialized cleaning solutions to disinfect the area thoroughly.


Restoration and Repairs

With the area clean and dry, we began the restoration process. Here’s how we did it: 


  1. Installing new drywall: We measured and cut drywall to fit the damaged sections and then secured the new drywall. In addition, we applied a joint compound and sanded it down for a smooth finish.
  2. Laying new tiles: We removed any remaining debris and prepped the surface. Then we carefully aligned and installed the new tiles on the bathroom floor and walls. Afterward, we applied grout between the tiles and sealed the edges to prevent future water damage.
  3. Ensuring a seamless look: We matched all new materials to the original design and color scheme and made any necessary adjustments to achieve a flawless appearance.


Final Inspection

After completing the repairs, we did a final inspection to make sure everything was in perfect condition. We checked for any remaining moisture and confirmed that all materials were properly installed.
