Our client found signs of water damage on the flooring on the second floor. She felt it prudent to have a professional assessment of the damage and called Water’s Fault.
We performed a water damage assessment and detected Class 1 water damage. Excessive moisture was detected on the floor and walls. Water damage remediation was recommended, and the client made the decision to proceed with our company’s service, including partial demolition of affected materials and water damage mitigation.
After performing the partial flooring and drywall removal, our technicians discovered signs of mold. Therefore, mold remediation was required taking all necessary safety precautions.
Our team did all the work step-by-step, following industry-standard practices:
- Building containment to protect the undamaged area from spreading of mold spores and dust
- Protecting the flooring from damage by covering it with building paper
- Setting up a decontamination chamber and negative air-pressure equipment.
- Partial removal of the flooring
- Partial demolition of damaged drywall and insulation on the wall
- Mechanical and chemical anti-mold treatment
- Complete dehumidification and drying with the help of professional equipment
- Moisture level control during and after the drying process
- Installing a waterproof flashing membrane to protect the walls from water intrusion in the future
- Cleaning the job site
