Water damage can be tricky, especially when it initially seems only minor. If left untreated, it can escalate to mold, requiring mold removal. It’s pertinent to thoroughly assess a case of water damage so that you can adequately combat mold growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Water-Damaged Walls Warrant Mold Removal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A little while back, our office received a call from a family in Aldan regarding a minor roof leak in their bedroom. Upon a visual inspection, our technicians noticed that the water damage was superficial and extended beyond the ceiling and walls. As far as the homeowners were concerned, this was a full-on home restoration project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dressed in our personal protective equipment (PPE), including our hazardous material suits and respirators, our skilled technicians removed the furniture and other room contents out of the way. We then created a containment area by securing a plastic barrier around the bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We carefully removed the affected drywall, ceiling, and insulation piece by piece, exposing a large patch of green and brown residue on the wood beneath. Instantly, our experts recognized this sludge as a classic sign of microbial growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Mold Remediation Process and Property Restoration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To begin the remediation, our team used a HEPA air scrubber. While the air scrubber cleared the room of airborne microbes, our IICRC-certified<\/a> technicians used a HEPA vacuum to maximize the removal of spores. When the room was up to IICRC S-520 standards, we applied a plant-based antimicrobial solution to inhibit future mold growth. Next, it was time for reconstruction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the reconstruction team installed fresh drywall and insulation, the room received a fresh coat of paint that matched the existing color scheme. The room was successfully restored to its pre-loss condition. After nearly a week of work, the clients were thrilled with the results. We also were praised for our constant communication, professionalism, and expertise. Kudos to our extraordinary team!<\/p>\n\n\n
