Mold job.

This was first a water damage job that turned quickly into mold remediation. It was considered CAT: 1 CLASS: 4

Insured stated that her contractor attempted to locate the leak and cut drywall in different parts of her kitchen, dining room, pantry and even inside of her kitchen cabinets. The contractor told her that none of her appliances were leaking and after all the cutting he located what he believes is the leak. In the kitchen sink there was no silicone where the sink meets the granite and that is where the contractor said he noticed water dripping. Mold was also discovered and notified the insurance adjuster. 

 Wood floors will also need to be removed in the kitchen. As soon as we received necessary approvals from the insurance adjuster to go ahead to proceed and start Mold Abatement our technicians set up containment in the Kitchen and started Mold Remediation. Call the experts in green at SERVPRO.

Mold removal.

This was a water damage in town. The insured did not know where the leak was coming from. It turned out to be a broken pipe inside the wall in the Kitchen. Mold was found behind the kitchen backsplash once it was removed. 

Our technician’s moisture mapped the affected areas and found high levels of moisture. They set up a dehumidifier. No air movers were set up due to visible microbial growth.

Kitchen cabinets need to be packed out in order to remove the affected kitchen cabinets due to microbial growth being found behind the cabinets as well. Wood floors will also need to be removed in the kitchen. The wood floor is open and continuous into the kitchen, pantry & dining room. Pantry also needs to be packed out in order to cut the drywall in there.

Water damage clean up.

Water Removal

Service work normally begins with a thorough extraction of water. This helps prevent the spread of water in the structure and reduces drying time. Typically, hundreds or thousands of gallons of water are removed using powerful pumps and extraction units during the water removal process.

Damaged Material Removal

If any materials cannot be successfully restored, this will be communicated to you. These materials are typically removed as soon as possible to expedite the drying of all restorable materials.

Cleaning, Sanitizing, and Deodorization

Water damage can create cleaning, sanitizing, or deodorization needs for floors, furniture, and other personal belongings. SERVPRO professionals use a variety of specially formulated products, industry-leading equipment, and proven techniques to accomplish this important aspect of restoration.

Drying

After the bulk of the water has been removed, our specialists use industry-leading drying equipment to remove the water you can’t see. This will target water within materials to bring these materials back to their normal moisture level. This equipment is normally placed during the first visit to your property. The type and amount of equipment is based on your unique situation and industry standards.
