5/16/2023 (Permalink)

We are leaders in water damage restoration services in Riverside County.

Murrieta Hot Springs residents have been relying on our local Murrieta team to restore water damage for many years. Washing machines use a lot of water when they are running, and if the machine leaks, water damage will follow. Some of the most common causes of washing machine leaks are:

• Front-loading washing machines can leak due to faulty seals or gaskets
• Supply line hose connections may be loose
• Supply line hoses may be cracked or damaged
• Water pump may fail
• Bottom of the machine may corrode and leak

If you are not sure where the leak is originating from, we can help. Our technicians use state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to determine the location of excess water and leaks. We will locate the source of the water damage and make repairs as part of the remediation process. Many water damage emergencies involving washing machines happen when the machine is running and no one is home. For this reason, it is never a good idea to leave the home when the washing machine is running.

The term “ARkstorm,” originates from “atmospheric river.” It is a hypothetical name describing a storm that can happen every 500 to 1000 years.

We remediate mold outbreaks in Riverside County.

Have you noticed a musty odor you can’t place in your home? If so, you may have mold growing somewhere in your home. Mold is often a symptom of water damage and can colonize quickly when the perfect warm and moist conditions present themselves. Our local Murrieta team is trained and certified by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) to remove mold from homes and businesses in Murrieta Hot Springs.

According to the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, you can keep mold out of homes and buildings by inspecting buildings for evidence of water damage and visible mold as part of routine maintenance and correcting any issues to prevent mold growth.

At home, you can control hold growth by controlling humidity levels. Keep humidity levels as low as possible – between 30 and 50 percent all day long. An air conditioner or dehumidifier can help. Humidity levels will change over the day, so you will need to check them more than once a day. Additionally, you can reduce the chances of a mold problem by doing the following:

• Promptly fixing leaky roofs, windows, and pipes
• Thoroughly cleaning and drying after flooding
• Ventilating shower, laundry, and cooking areas
