Location: Baton Rouge, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

United Fire & Water Restoration was called to a Baton Rouge home after the homeowner reported a leak from a hot water line running beneath the master bedroom, vanity, and closet. The homeowner had noticed the issue about three weeks prior, and while the leak appeared to have stopped, visible mold growth had started to develop in the affected areas. A professional from United Fire & Water was dispatched to assess the damage and quickly identified that a significant amount of drywall, flooring, and baseboards needed to be removed to properly address the mold and water damage.

Solutions provided:

The restoration team began by carefully removing the damaged materials, including the carpet, padding, tack strips, and baseboards in the master bathroom and master closet. In addition, they performed a 2-foot flood cut to remove the affected drywall throughout the rooms. To contain the mold contamination and prevent it from spreading, the team set up a containment area at the master bathroom entry, using a zipper system and an air scrubber to create negative pressure. This helped to remove mold spores and particulates from the air, ensuring the air quality was improved and reducing the risk of cross-contamination.

Once the demolition was complete, the United Fire & Water team utilized a HEPA vacuum to thoroughly clean all surfaces and remove any remaining mold particles. The team then applied mold mitigation treatments and used specialized drying equipment to ensure all materials were properly dried and free of excess moisture. With their detailed and effective mold remediation process, United Fire & Water helped the homeowner in Baton Rouge eliminate the mold and restore the affected areas to a safe and healthy condition, preventing future water damage and mold growth.
