Our client faced water damage in the garage ceiling and wall. He called Water’s Fault to perform a water damage assessment.
We detected Class 1 water damage. Excessive moisture was detected in the garage ceiling and on the wall adjacent to the bathroom. 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 coming from the shower cabin on the upper floor.
Our team did all the work step-by-step, following industry-standard practices:
- Building containment near the bathroom on the first floor and in the garage 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 water-damaged ceiling in the garag
- Partial demolition of damaged drywall on the wall between bedroom and bathroom
- Mechanical and chemical anti-mold treatment
- Dehumidification and drying with the help of professional equipment
- Moisture level control during and after the drying process
- Water test and leak source investigation
- Final dehumidification and drying
- Cleaning the job site
