Assessing the Damage

Upon returning from vacation, our client discovered an unwelcome surprise. Water had leaked from the upstairs, wreaking havoc throughout their house.

Both the master bedroom and an additional room's carpets were soaked, and the main level bathroom was flooded with the ceiling caved in. To add to the bad news, mold had begun to grow on the carpets and baseboards.

Our Response: Water Restoration and Mold Mitigation

Our team arrived at the home as soon as possible, assessing the damage with moisture detectors to plan our course of action. The first step was to address the water damage and prevent mold growth.

• 
  Mold Remediation: We discovered mold beginning to grow on the carpets and baseboards. Our team carefully removed the affected materials, including the tack strips in the basement.
• Water Extraction & Drying: Using powerful air movers and dehumidifiers, we began extracting water from all of the damaged rooms. The key was to create a dry, mold-unfriendly environment.
• Deconstruction & Removal: The extent of water damage meant that we would have to remove a lot of unsalvageable materials. We took out the damaged ceiling, drywall, carpet, wooden floor, and baseboards. In the bathroom, we removed the tile, Durarock, vanity, and marble countertop due to saturation.
• Cleaning & Disinfecting: After removing the damaged materials, we used an antimicrobial spray to clean the area thoroughly, ensuring no mold spores or waterborne pathogens remained.
• Restoration & Rebuilding: With the affected areas clean and dry, we began the process of restoring the home. This included installing new drywall, flooring, and baseboards, and ensuring that everything matched the original design and quality.
• Final Inspection & Moisture Check: To finish the job, we conducted a complete inspection and moisture check to make sure the home was completely dry and safe.
