Completion date: January 19, 2022

Location: Baton Rouge, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

United Fire & Water Restoration was called to a Baton Rouge home after a busted pipe in the yard caused significant water intrusion into the house. The water affected both the carpet and hard floors, leading to concerns about structural damage and mold growth. A United Fire & Water expert arrived onsite to assess the damage and discovered severe mold growth throughout the affected areas. Additionally, the technician identified asbestos in the joint compound of the drywall, further complicating the restoration process. Immediate action was needed to ensure the home was restored safely and efficiently.

Solutions provided:

The restoration team began by removing damaged flooring, including linoleum flooring in the utility room, kitchen, and dining room, as well as parquet and corkboard flooring tiles. These materials were saturated with water and posed a risk for further moisture damage and mold contamination. To safely handle the asbestos in the joint compound, United Fire & Water worked closely with a licensed abatement company to remove the hazardous material. This collaborative effort ensured that the environment was safe for the homeowners and restoration team throughout the process.

Once the flooring was removed and the asbestos was safely addressed, United Fire & Water focused on eliminating excess moisture and performing comprehensive mold mitigation. The team used specialized drying equipment, including dehumidifiers and air movers, to remove lingering water and moisture from the home. They also applied mold prevention measures to ensure that future mold growth would be prevented. With thorough attention to detail and expertise in water damage, mold remediation, and asbestos abatement, United Fire & Water successfully restored the home to a safe and livable condition, providing peace of mind for the homeowner.
