From Roof Collapse to Restoration: A Water Mitigation and Restoration Journey in Ozark, MO
At ABC Environmental Contracting Services in Springfield, we responded to an urgent call from a homeowner in Ozark, MO, after a severe storm led to a roof collapse caused by a fallen tree. The collapse resulted in significant water damage to the master bedroom and bathroom, affecting the ceiling and drywall. The homeowner was worried about mold growth and long-term structural damage. We acted fast and handled the water mitigation and restoration in the Ozark, MO home.
A Call From a Concerned Homeowner
The homeowner contacted us immediately after the storm knocked a large tree onto their home, causing the roof to collapse. As rainwater poured in, it soaked the ceiling and walls in the master bedroom and bathroom. The damage was extensive, and the drywall in the bedroom was visibly saturated with water. We knew fast action was needed to prevent further issues and begin the restoration process.
Steps We Took After the Roof Collapse
When we arrived, our first step was to assess the damage using a moisture meter to identify how far the water had spread. The main priority was to prevent further water damage and mold growth by starting the mitigation process as quickly as possible.
Water Mitigation
We set up dehumidifiers and air movers to reduce moisture and speed up the drying process. Our team monitored the drying progress daily, ensuring everything was drying properly and no moisture was left behind.
Roof and Drywall Removal
After the roof collapse, we had to take quick action to prevent further water damage. Our team focused on removing the damaged sections of the roof and drywall to prepare the home for full restoration. Here's what we did:
- Removed the damaged roof portion: To stop more rain from entering the home, we carefully removed the part of the roof that was severely damaged by the fallen tree.
- Tore down saturated drywall: The water-soaked drywall in the master bedroom had to be completely removed to prevent mold growth and structural issues.
- Removed damaged ceilings: Both the bedroom and bathroom ceilings, which were affected by water leakage, were taken down for replacement.
Drying and Monitoring
We continued using our dehumidifiers and air movers to ensure the structure was completely dry. Our moisture meter readings helped us monitor progress and guarantee that no moisture remained before moving on to the restoration phase.
Restoration
Once the water mitigation was complete, we began restoring the home. We replaced the damaged roof, installed new drywall, and repaired the ceiling in the affected rooms. The homeowner was kept informed every step of the way, and we made sure the final result met their expectations.
A Fully Restored Home After a Roof Collapse
By the end of the project, the master bedroom and bathroom were fully restored to their original condition. The roof collapse was handled, the water damage was eliminated, and the homeowner’s concerns about mold and structural integrity were resolved.
