A United Fire & Water professional went onsite to the business and identified the leak had started from the adjacent unit. The water had been shut off in the adjacent unit. The carpet was affected in the store as well as the walls. We used a vacuum to extract the water from the carpet. Drying equipment was set up including dehumidifiers, air movers, and air scrubbers. After a couple of days, the carpet was dried and the moisture levels had returned to normal.

United Fire & Water sent a technician to investigate the leak. The downstairs ceiling was wet and there was mold present in the closet ceiling. The cause was a backup in the washer drain. We set up a dehumidifier upstairs and an air scrubber downstairs for stabilization. Minor demolition was performed to remove unsalvagable structures. We wiped the mold off the wall in the closest and performed a flood cut in the upstairs laundry room. There was mold present behind the baseboard and on the sheetrock so we sprayed and cleaned the studs. Additional drying equipment was set up in the laundry room to reduce moisture levels and remove particulates from the air. The remaining affected areas were cleaned with an antimicrobial solution.

Upon initial inspection, a United Fire & Water technician identified a leak that had been repaired in the laundry room. Unfortunately, it had been leaking for a long time and her wood was saturated with a significant amount of mold on the underside of the subfloor. After the removal of unsalvagable structures, the remaining structures were treated with an antimicrobial solution to mitigate future mold growth. Drying equipment was also set up and after a few days the structures were dry and moisture levels had returned to normal limits.

A United Fire & Water professional conducted an assessment and then began stabilization until plumbing repair could be completed. Water damage affected wood flooring and baseboards, drywall in the master closet, master bathroom, hallway, small area in the dining room, spare bathroom, and front bedroom closet. UF&W removed carpet, padding, and tack strips in areas that had severe microbial growth. We also removed the affected materials and treated the concrete slab.

the damage and the affected area includes the master closet, master bath, and master bedroom hallway to master bath. The carpet in the master bath hallway was wet and the carpet in the master closet. The master closet baseboards were wet swollen. This lead me to believe that the baseboards are MFD. The one vanity in the Master Bath was reading 100% but appeared to be solid wood. floated the carpet in the master bed hall and the master bath closet. The pad will still need pulled but the carpet will be saved but needed cleaned. I set 3 airmovers in master bedroom. I set 2 air movers and 1 dehu in the master bath. Arrived on site got moisture readings everything is dry I began pulling equipment.
