At Restoration Pros NY, we pride ourselves on delivering top-notch services to homeowners in need. Recently, we tackled a challenging yet rewarding project in Bay Shore, NY, where a homeowner needed our help with a roof replacement and mold remediation job.
Tackling Mold and Doing Reconstruction
Our journey began with a thorough assessment of the property. We inspected the attic and basement, identifying areas affected by mold growth and assessing the condition of the roof. After discussing the details with the homeowner, we created a detailed plan to tackle both issues.
Roof Work
With the homeowner’s approval, we kicked off the project by focusing on the roof. Over three days, our skilled team completed the following tasks:
- Detaching Cupolas: We detached cupolas to access the roof for the roofing work.
- Removing Shingles and Underlayments: We removed all layers of shingle roof and underlayments to expose the decking.
- Replacing Vent Boots: We replaced three vent boots to ensure proper ventilation within the attic space.
- Installing Ice and Water Shield: We installed an ice and water shield for added protection against moisture, applying it to the roof decking.
- Adding Timberline Shingles and Ridge Vent: We set Timberline shingles and Ridge Vent to create a durable and efficient roofing system, providing both protection and ventilation.
- Implementing the Liberty Roofing System: We set up the Liberty Roofing System, known for its longevity and resistance to weather elements.
- Replacing Chimney Flashing: We replaced the chimney flashing to prevent water leaks around the chimney area, ensuring a watertight seal.
- Installing a Solar Attic Vent Fan: We installed a solar attic vent fan to improve airflow within the attic, encouraging ventilation and reducing moisture buildup.
Mold Remediation
Simultaneously, our team tackled the mold growth in the attic and basement. Here’s how we tackled the process over two days:
- Cleaning: We cleaned the space at the base of the attic stairs in the garage to contain contaminants and prevent their spread.
- Setting Air Scrubbers: We installed air scrubbers in the attic and basement to clean the air by filtering out mold spores and other contaminants, ensuring a safer environment during the remediation process.
- Sealing off the Entrance: We sealed off the entrance to the attic to prevent mold spores from escaping and spreading to other areas of the house.
- Relocating and Wiping Down Items: We safely relocated boxes and contents from the attic and wiped them down to remove any mold spores or contamination.
- Removing Affected Insulation: We removed damaged insulation to eliminate the source of mold growth and prevent further spread.
- HEPA Sandwich Cleaning: We used the HEPA Sandwich Cleaning method, which involves thorough vacuuming followed by antimicrobial wiping to clean surfaces and remove mold spores.
- Final HEPA Vacuuming: We did a final round of detailed HEPA vacuuming to ensure all surfaces and areas were thoroughly cleaned and mold-free.
- Fogging: We fogged the area with antimicrobial spray to prevent future mold growth and ensure long-term protection.
- Cleaning and Removing Containment: Once the remediation was complete, we cleaned and reattached all plastic barriers to restore the area to its original state.
