Damage Restoration Charlotte, NC | Richey Rite | Water & Storm Damage

Common signs include a pool of water near the tank, rust-colored water from taps, unusual popping sounds, or a constantly running pilot light. If you notice any of these, shut off the gas or electricity and the water supply, then call Richey Rite immediately. In Charlotte's humid climate, even a small leak can lead to mold growth within 48 hours.

A failed sump pump often results in a musty smell in your basement, standing water, or unusual gurgling sounds. You may also see your pump running continuously without draining. Regular testing by pouring water into the pit can prevent surprises. If you experience flooding from a storm in places like SouthPark or uptown, Richey Rite can extract water and dry your space quickly.

Hidden leaks under the sink can go unnoticed for weeks, softening cabinets, warping floors, and breeding mold. Common causes include loose connections, cracked pipes, or worn gaskets. Over time, this damage can spread to adjacent walls. At Richey Rite, we address both the immediate water removal and the necessary structural drying to prevent long-term problems, serving neighborhoods like Dilworth and Plaza Midwood.
