mold remediation richmond txA pipe in our attic burst during the January freeze and water came through the ceiling in the hallway. The crew was at our house in Aliana within a couple of hours, pulled the wet insulation, and set up drying equipment. They came back every day to check readings and sent us photos. The ceiling repair looks like nothing happened.
We had a sewage backup in the laundry room on a Sunday. They walked us through shutting off the water and had a crew out that afternoon. They removed the contaminated drywall, treated everything, and used a camera to check the sewer line. The whole job took four days and they kept us updated the entire time.
Our dishwasher leaked under the cabinets and we did not notice for a week. Mold had started on the drywall. They contained the area, removed the affected materials, and treated the framing. The clearance test came back clean. I appreciated that they explained each step instead of just handing us a bill.
Storm flooding came through our back doors during a heavy rain. They extracted the water, set up air movers and a dehumidifier, and had the floors dry in three days. The adjuster said the documentation was the cleanest he had seen from a local company. Would call them again.
