Case Study: Water Damage Assessment and Drying in Foyer Area

On the 12th of March 2026, Elite Restoration was engaged to assess and report on water damage at a property following a leak in the foyer area.

Water entered from a neighbouring building's roof, travelling through an opening in the shared wall and into the internal foyer corner.

This resulted in wet carpet tiles and moisture affecting the concrete subfloor beneath.

The cause of loss was identified as clean water intrusion from the neighbouring roof, classified as Category 1 and Class 1 under the ANSI/IICRC S500 standard.

The damage was limited to a small corner section of the foyer, with no widespread moisture migration observed.

Affected materials included carpet tiles and the concrete subfloor, both of which were deemed restorable.

Elite Restoration carried out water extraction, moisture assessments, and installed drying equipment to prevent further spread.

Follow-up inspection confirmed that all moisture levels had returned to dry standards, and equipment was removed after successful drying.

It is recommended to complete professional carpet cleaning and address the shared wall opening and neighbouring roof area to prevent future water ingress.
