At ABC Environmental Contracting Services in Springfield, we recently tackled a challenging
water damage restoration Fair Grove, MO project with mold removal for a residential homeowner. Our client returned home after two weeks away to a distressing sight: standing water throughout their house at 1 AM. The culprit? A burst pipe from the washing machine supply line, causing havoc in the garage, laundry room, kitchen, dining room, hallway, and storage room.
The Challenge: The Burst Pipe Causing Damage to Every Nook and Cranny
The burst pipe unleashed an inch of standing water, with further complications as water gushed from the laundry room and dripped from vents into the basement. Not only did this flood cause immediate damage, but it also led to mold growth on different surfaces, including trims, cabinets, drywall, and insulation.
Tackling Multi-Level Water Damage and Mold Infestation
When we received a call, we sprang into action to help our valued client handle this chaotic situation. This is the outline of the steps we took:
- Assessment and Planning: Upon arrival, we used moisture meters to thoroughly assess the damage, identifying affected areas and materials. We found out that damaged items included soaked carpets, water-logged vinyl flooring, moldy and cracking kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities, a broken AC unit, moldy trims, stained drywalls, as well as damaged insulation. This step allowed us to develop a precise plan of action for effective work.
- Water Extraction:
Using powerful wet/dry vacuum cleaners, we quickly extracted standing water from the property, including all the affected rooms.
- Waterproofing: To prevent future water intrusion and potential damage, we applied waterproofing measures in vulnerable areas, such as sealing cracks and reinforcing vulnerable points.
- Drying Out: Using high-capacity dehumidifiers, we started the drying process to prevent further moisture-related issues and mold growth.
- Demolition: We carefully removed damaged materials, including insulation, drywall, trims, carpets, and flooring, ensuring a clean slate for restoration.
- Mold Remediation: With mold already showing on different surfaces, we prioritized thorough mold removal. This involved wiping down affected areas and applying antimicrobial sprays to inhibit further mold growth.
- Final Inspection:
We performed a thorough final inspection before concluding the project. This involved ensuring that all affected areas were properly cleaned, treated, and restored to a safe and healthy condition.
