A burst supply line ran for hours in a 1920s Fisher Park home while the owners were away. About 1,400 square feet of finished basement had standing water, and mold started on the drywall within three days.

We extracted the water the same day, removed drywall up to 24 inches, ran six air movers and two dehumidifiers, and treated the framing. Clearance testing at day 9 came back below the outdoor baseline.

Total time on site: 11 days. Insurance covered the full cost. Owners moved back into a finished basement 3 weeks later.

New buyer inspection turned up dark staining on the north roof sheathing. Cause was a bath fan venting directly into the attic.

Rerouted the bath fan through the roof, added a new soffit vent, sanded and treated the sheathing, and fogged the space with an antimicrobial.

Passed post-remediation testing on the first try. Closing went through on schedule.

Musty smell in the whole house, cupping hardwood floors, and visible mold on floor joists.

Removed old plastic and insulation, treated the joists, installed a 20 mil vapor barrier, sealed vents, and added a 90 pint dehumidifier.

Humidity dropped from 78 percent to a steady 48 percent. Musty smell gone within two weeks.

Slow ice machine leak fed hidden mold behind the wall for months. Restaurant could not close.

Worked overnight for four nights. Contained the wall, removed drywall and insulation, dried the structure, replaced the wall and paint.

Restaurant never lost a day of service. Health inspector signed off with no violations.
