At Resto Pros NY, we recently had the opportunity to assist a homeowner with challenging water mitigation and mold remediation in Wyandanch, NY. The affected areas included the hallway, living room, playroom, and staircase area. The homeowner noticed water damage and mold growth, requiring immediate action to prevent further damage and health risks.
Tackling Visible and Hidden Water Damage Impact
Here are the steps we took to handle these issues:
Step 1: Initial Assessment and Inspection
Our first step was a thorough assessment and inspection of the property. Using a moisture meter and thermal imaging camera, we identified the extent of the water damage and areas with potential mold growth. The ceiling drywall and insulation in multiple rooms, the hallway, the flooring in the living room, and the staircase carpet were all affected. Based on the visible damage, we assumed there was mold on the ceiling studs.
Step 2: Setting Up Containment
To prevent the spread of mold spores and dust during the remediation process, we set up containment barriers. We used plastic sheeting with zippered access to isolate the affected areas.
Step 3: Drying and Dehumidification
Next, we focused on drying the affected areas. High-capacity dehumidifiers were strategically placed to reduce moisture levels in the air. Air movers were also used to speed up the drying process. We continuously monitored the moisture levels to ensure effective drying.
Step 4: Removal of Damaged Materials
Once the areas were dry, we carefully removed the damaged materials. This included ceiling drywall and insulation from ceilings and walls. All damaged materials were bagged and disposed of safely to prevent any contamination.
Step 5: Cleaning and Sanitization
After removing the damaged materials, we cleaned and sanitized the affected areas. We paid special attention to the ceiling studs, where mold growth was evident. Using a specialized antimicrobial agent, we treated the mold-affected areas to eliminate any remaining spores and prevent future growth.
Step 6: Final Inspection
With the cleaning and sanitization complete, we did a final inspection to ensure all areas were properly tackled. The containment barriers were carefully removed, and we performed another round of air quality checks to confirm that the environment was safe and free of contaminants.
Clients Satisfied With Their Water and Mold-Free Home
The homeowner was extremely pleased with the thoroughness of our work and the professionalism of our team. By tackling both the water damage and mold growth on time, we helped restore the property to a safe and healthy condition.
