Water and Mold Damage Remediation in Forest Hill, San Francisco, CA

A client faced water damage to the hallway ceiling, possibly caused by water intrusion from the bathroom on the upper floor of the house. Water’s Fault was requested to perform a water damage assessment.

The assessment confirmed Class 1 water damage. Excessive moisture was detected on the ceiling in the hallway. 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 removal, our technicians discovered a severe hidden mold presence. Mold remediation was required, taking all necessary safety precautions. After the drying was complete, we conducted a water test and discovered the cause of the leak. The problem resulted from the worn-out gasket in the plumbing system under the bathtub.

Our team did all the work step-by-step, following industry-standard practices:
