Our client faced water damage in the bedroom ceiling and wall. She called Water’s Fault to perform a water damage assessment.
We detected Class 1 water damage. Excessive moisture was detected in the ceiling and on the wall. Water damage mitigation was recommended, and the client made the decision to proceed with our company’s service, including partial demolition of affected materials.
After performing the partial ceiling and wall removal, our technicians discovered mold. Mold remediation was required, taking all necessary safety precautions. After the drying was complete, we performed a water test and discovered that the leak was caused by a poor condition of the window frame. We patched the problematic spots on the frame with special water-proofing sealant.
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
- Partial removal of the ceiling
- 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
- Water test and leak source investigation
- Applying water-proof sealnt to the window frame
- Applying mold-resistant coating to prevent the mold growth in the future
- Cleaning the job site
