Daniel Jungfleisch‎ from ULTRAKETO floor cleaning solutions was contacted by the insurance company to attend a flooded Property. Water burst from a broken hose that is connected to the washing machine to the wall at the middle of the night. The client who’s still sleeping at that moment was unaware of the water leakage from the laundry room into the Tasmanian Oak floor to the hallway. The water spreads to the lounge room through carpeted family rooms and then into a smaller hallway through three bedrooms and the master bedroom with the walk in wardrobe.
