It's The Water You Don't See...

A pipe inside of your wall that leaks may not be found until extensive damage has already occurred!

Recently, a customer called about an issue with his home at Kerr Lake. He believed he had a roof leak due to water he found on the floor. SERVPRO of Franklin, Vance and Granville Counties inspected the property and with our highly trained technicians was able to determine that the water was coming from the sink supply line in the bathroom!

When our technician opened the wall, this leaking pipe is what he found: water spouting from a line concealed in the wall cavity! During construction, just 13 years prior, a nail had unknowingly been set into the line and eventually rusted out. A lot of the time, it is the water that you don't see that causes the damage.

This homeowner was grateful that SERVPRO came quickly to his home and was able to determine the water leak source. We are here to help! Call us today at 252-433-0005 or 919-339-4848
