A Machesney Park Kitchen: Seven Layers of Flooring, One Broken Pipe
A broken pipe in a Machesney Park home put water under the kitchen floor. The homeowner had already hired another restoration company. In his words, "they were here 12 days and got nowhere." He let them go and called us.
This was an older house, and every owner before had laid new flooring on top of the old. By the time we were done tracing the moisture, we had found seven layers of flooring, all of them wet, sitting on a soaked subfloor. We had the mitigation done in eight hours.
"They were here 12 days and got nowhere. Power Restoration of Rockford got the mitigation done in just 8 hours."— Machesney Park homeowner
Partway through the removal we found something the homeowner didn't know he had: one of those older layers contained asbestos. That changes everything about how the work has to be done. We stopped, sealed off the kitchen, and handled that layer as an asbestos abatement job with proper containment and disposal before any more demolition took place. Power Restoration is a licensed asbestos abatement contractor and handles that work in-house, so the homeowner didn't have to bring in a second company or wait for one.
He was stressed, and understandably so. A water loss had turned into an asbestos job in the middle of his kitchen. We kept him informed at every step: what we found, why it mattered, and what came next. Once the flooring was out and the subfloor was dry, we rebuilt the kitchen with new plank flooring. He told us he was very satisfied with how it turned out.
If your Machesney Park home is older and you have a water loss in the kitchen or bathroom, the flooring may need to be tested before it is torn out. We do that as part of the job. Call (815) 721-3493.
