Crawlspace Flood Sunriver Oregon

SERVPRO of Bend received a call from an insurance agent regarding a customer who had flooding in their crawlspace. The house was being used as a vacation rental property and the customer was from out-of-state. Between rentals, the neighbor had called the homeowner and reported water coming out from the foundation vents on the back side of the house.

SERVPRO of Bend responded and upon a quick assessment, found water still actively spilling out from the foundation vents. SERVPRO of Bend Technicians found the main water shut off to the property and were able to stop the water. However, that left standing water in the crawlspace, just below the foundation vents.

SERVPRO of Bend Technicians were able to spend the time to extract the water that had flooded the crawlspace. After the water was removed, our Technicians were able to assess the damage and found that a pipe had broken, most likely from a freeze break. Our Technicians were able to get a plumber out to fix the pipe and then they set up a drying chamber in the crawlspace. The drying chamber accelerated the dry time and we were able to get the area dry before the next set of renters were scheduled. 

The homeowner and agent were extremely grateful for SERVPRO of Bend's ability to get the damage repaired and dried before the next set of vacation renters arrived.

If you have a vacation rental and have concerns about possible water damage to it, feel free to call SERVPRO of Bend (541)385-7044.
