Germantown Water Heater Burst Cleanup
Water heaters are essential in our homes and offices but when they burst, they can cause a good deal of problems. Water damage caused by burst water heaters is a serious cleanup job. In less than 48 hours, even clean water will begin to create mold spores. Ingesting mold spores can cause serious health problems so be careful and call in the professionals.
When your water heater gushes out water, porous surfaces such as carpeting can begin to rot and smell in a very short time. You may need professional water restoration services.

Appliance Leaks
Water heaters, freezers, dishwashers, washing machines, and HVAC’s all use water and can cause a lot of water damage. Sometimes small leaks may occur but might go unnoticed and can seep down into your floorboards and saturate your carpets. Any appliance that uses water can create water damage.
Washing Machine: Many homeowners leave their water supply hoses on when not using their washing machines. Washing machine lines contain pressurized hoses that can lead to burst lines allowing for gallons of water to spill onto the floor. Old worn hoses can have loose fittings causing slower leaks behind your washer where mold can grow.
Dishwasher: Dishwasher supply lines are usually the reason they leak. There are drain lines and supply lines and are usually located under your kitchen sink where there is water intake and drainage. These lines are under heavy pressure and the leaks can be slow, but over time can burst. There is often bacteria in the drain line.
Heating & Cooling Equipment:
Air conditioners are prime candidates for leaks and are usually located behind walls and ceilings. These types of leaks can be difficult to find and they also promote mold growth. It’s important to have a professional inspect the whole system for leaks and blockages.
Refrigerator: Refrigeration can experience slow leaks from the base taking longer to notice and can cause mold growth. If your refrigerator has built in water lines or ice makers, it is much easier to spring a leak, because like dishwashers, the supply line is highly pressurized to get the water to where it needs to be to function.
