A Homeowner's Nightmare: Water Damage from a Toilet Overflow in Lacey, WA

It was a typical Tuesday morning in Lacey, WA. The sun peeked through the curtains as Laura slowly awakened, stretching and enjoying the stillness of her home. She sipped her coffee, savoring the quiet moments before her busy day began. Little did she know, her peaceful morning was about to take a shocking turn.



As Laura* (fictional character, real situation) made her way upstairs to check on her two kids, a strange sound caught her attention—a soft, persistent dripping echoing down the hallway. Her heart raced as she approached the upstairs bathroom. The moment she opened the door, her stomach dropped. Water was pooling around the base of the toilet, cascading across the tiled floor like a miniature waterfall.


Panic set in. Laura quickly grabbed towels, trying to stem the flow as she called for her husband, Mark*. They both scrambled to contain the leak, but it was clear this was more than just a small issue. The water had already begun to seep into the walls and floor, staining the once-pristine tiles and bubbling the drywall.


After shutting off the water supply, Laura took a deep breath and assessed the damage. The water had not only infiltrated the bathroom but had also trickled down the walls into the hallway and even the stairs, leaving damp patches on the carpet. To her dismay, she noticed the ceiling in the living room below was now discolored, a telltale sign of the disaster above.


As the reality of the situation sank in, Laura felt overwhelmed. They had only just finished remodeling the living room, and now it seemed all their hard work was in jeopardy. Desperate for assistance, she remembered a neighbor mentioning ARES, a local contractor known for their expertise in remodeling and insurance repairs.

With shaky hands, Laura called ARES, and within moments, a friendly voice reassured her. “We’re here to help,” said Sarah, an experienced project manager at ARES. Within a few hours, a team arrived, ready to assess the damage. They documented every detail, taking photos and notes, ensuring nothing was overlooked.


Laura watched as the ARES team worked diligently, guiding her through the process of filing an insurance claim. They created a detailed estimate, itemizing everything from the damaged flooring to the ruined drywall. “We’ll make sure your home is restored to its original condition,” Sarah assured her. “We use materials of like kind and quality, so you won’t even know there was a leak.”


Over the next few weeks, ARES transformed the chaos back into comfort. They replaced the damaged flooring, patched the walls, and even repaired the ceiling. Laura was amazed at how seamlessly the new materials blended with the existing structure, as if the leak had never happened.
