It doesn’t matter whether or not it was the homeowner’s fault or that of a small child playing without adult supervision. Our team has previously responded to a call involving an unattended running bathtub faucet, which had resulted in quite a lot of property damage. A family with a small child had gone out to dinner for the evening, not realizing the child had been playing in the bathroom upstairs beforehand. The tub was left plugged with the water was running for close to 5 hours.
Upon returning home, the family found that their entire living room ceiling had collapsed. They then called us, and we promptly sent a team to their home. After assessing the damage, we negotiated with the insurance company and began working on the damage. It was a lot of work, but we were able to dry the water soaked home and rebuild the floor and ceiling. When we were finished, everything looked as good as new.
