Due to evidence of moisture intrusion in your home, we were called upon to help remedy the problem as quickly and efficiently as possible to restore your home to its original condition.

A containment structure may be built in your home to serve several functions. Removing drywall can be a messy undertaking, resulting in fine powder and dust becoming airborne. The containment barrier helps ensure your home does not get coated with drywall dust. In some cases, where the water intrusion has gone unnoticed for an extended period, mold growth may have occurred inside the wall cavity. The containment barrier prevents mold spores that may become airborne during work from traveling to other areas of your home. Another goal is to dry the structure completely and assist in identifying leaks. The containment barrier allows us to better control the drying process by reducing the volume of air and structural surfaces we are dehumidifying.

The refrigerant dehumidifiers we use help dry your home as quickly as possible. Once moisture in the structure evaporates into the air, the moisture-laden air passes through the refrigerant coils in the dehumidifier. As the relatively warm, moist air passes across the colder refrigerant coils, the moisture in the air condenses back into liquid form. The water is then pumped out of the dehumidifier through the drain line into a sink or tub drain.

Our air scrubbers serve two purposes. They circulate the air within the work area to aid in the evaporation of moisture, allowing the dehumidifiers to function more efficiently. The air scrubbers are also equipped with HEPA filters, which trap and remove dust and debris from the air. The air quality in the work area continuously improves with each pass through the filters.

Demolition typically takes several hours to a full day. Occasionally, circumstances may extend the project timeline. Once the removal of materials is complete, the drying of the structure will begin. Our goal is to dry the site as quickly as possible; however, drying time may vary depending on the amount of moisture present and environmental conditions.

Water testing will need to be conducted to identify the source of the water intrusion. Some leaks are harder to locate than others, so the time required will vary from project to project. Typically, this process takes a day or two. Once the source of the water intrusion is determined, a repair will be scheduled to prevent further moisture issues. The time required to complete the repair will depend on the cause of the moisture intrusion.

Our team will keep you informed throughout the process to provide an estimated timeline. Once the repair is completed, the interior worksite will be rebuilt. This includes replacing drywall, applying texture, painting, and completing trim work to restore your home to its original condition. Depending on the scope of work, a few additional days may be needed to complete the finishing touches after scheduling.
