Location: Lafayette, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

United Fire and Water (UFW) was called to assist a commercial business in Lafayette, Louisiana, after rainwater entered the building due to a faulty roof. The water quickly soaked into the ceiling tiles and insulation above, causing several pieces of the ceiling to fall down throughout the building. In addition to the ceiling damage, the floors were also saturated, further complicating the situation. UFW’s team responded promptly to begin the necessary cleanup and restoration process, focusing first on addressing the structural damage and removing the waterlogged materials.

Solutions provided:

The first step in the restoration was demolition. UFW removed all affected ceiling tiles and insulation, as they had absorbed significant moisture and posed a risk for mold growth. The team also pulled up the soaked flooring and cabinetry that had been damaged by the rainwater. By removing these materials, UFW helped mitigate further water damage and ensured that the building could be properly dried. This demolition phase was critical in preparing the space for the next steps in the restoration process.

Once the roof leak was repaired and demolition was complete, UFW set up drying equipment to address the remaining moisture in the building. The equipment was strategically placed to dry out the remaining structures and prevent long-term damage. To further safeguard against mold growth, surface cleaning was performed on all remaining surfaces and structures. This final cleaning step ensured that any potential mold spores were eliminated, and the space was properly sanitized. With these efforts, UFW helped restore the building to its pre-damage condition, ready for further repairs and re-occupation.
