Water Damage Restoration in Perris, CA
DRC Restoration responded to a Category 1, Class 1 water loss at a 2007-built home in Perris, CA after you discovered water across the floor overnight. Although no one used the bathroom beforehand, you quickly shut off the toilet supply line when you noticed the leak. As a result, our priority was to confirm the affected area, document conditions, and prevent any spread beyond the upstairs hall bathroom.
Initial Assessment and Site Findings
Upon arrival we completed a preliminary inspection focused on the upstairs hall bathroom water damage near the toilet area. Using professional moisture detection tools, we verified that the ceramic tile flooring in the bathroom was wet and would require removal to address trapped moisture properly. However, all other previously affected areas were inspected and found dry, which helped limit the overall scope.
Controlled Removal Plan for Tile Flooring
Since moisture can remain beneath hard surfaces, the next step is a controlled removal approach for the wet ceramic tile. This step matters because it allows airflow to reach the substrate and helps prevent secondary issues later. Moreover, because this was a clean-water (Category 1) loss and the inspection showed no signs of long-term damage and no possible microbial growth, the plan stays targeted and efficient while still being thorough.
Drying Timeline and Next Steps
Estimated dry time is TBD because it depends on what is found once the tile is removed and the subfloor is exposed. After removal, we will re-check moisture levels, determine whether structural drying equipment is needed, and then set the next appointment date based on those readings. In the meantime, there were no escalation concerns noted and no pack out was required, which helps keep the process straightforward.
Result and What You Can Expect Next
With fast shutoff and a contained loss, this toilet leak water damage remained primarily isolated to the upstairs hall bathroom, and surrounding areas were confirmed dry at the time of inspection. Next, DRC Restoration will focus on proper flooring removal, verification drying, and documentation so your home can be restored correctly the first time.
