Water Damage Restoration in Moreno Valley, CA
Our team at DRC Restoration was called to help a homeowner in Moreno Valley, CA, after a supply line in the upstairs bathroom failed and leaked water into the ceiling and walls below. By the time the issue was discovered, moisture had spread into the hallway, part of the bedroom, and the living room ceiling. A plumber was able to repair the damaged line, and we were brought in immediately afterward to handle the water mitigation and structural drying needed to protect the home from further damage.
Assessment and Planning
When we arrived, we performed a detailed inspection using moisture meters and thermal imaging to track how far the water had traveled. The ceiling below the bathroom, adjacent walls, and sections of the hallway flooring all showed elevated moisture levels. Because the homeowner wanted to avoid extensive demolition and keep their family living in the home during the work, we created a restoration plan focused on targeted drying, minimal removal of materials, and clear communication at every step.
Containment and Drying Setup
To prevent secondary damage and cross-contamination, we set up containment barriers around the affected areas and established proper negative air pressure where needed. Our team installed commercial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers to control humidity and promote fast, efficient drying. We carefully opened small sections of the ceiling and wall where necessary to access wet insulation and framing, removing only what was required to allow dry, conditioned air to reach hidden cavities.
Restored Safety and Peace of Mind
By acting quickly and using targeted drying methods, we were able to stabilize the home, remove damaged materials, and prepare the affected areas for final repairs with minimal disruption. The homeowner’s bathroom, hallway, and living room were successfully dried and made ready for reconstruction, restoring a safe, comfortable environment for the family.
