Job completed for Katrell H. residential water damage restoration - Mandeville LA

Completion date: April 6, 2021

Location: Mandeville, LA

Why did the customer contact us?

In Mandeville, LA, a water damage restoration job was initiated after the supply line to the ice maker failed, causing significant water intrusion in the home. United Fire & Water promptly set up essential equipment to address the issue, including one air scrubber, one dehumidifier, and five or six air movers. Upon assessment, it was determined that approximately 200 square feet of laminate flooring needed to be removed to prevent further damage. Our team was also tasked with checking the cabinet bottoms in the kitchen for moisture, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of the affected areas.

Solutions provided:

To effectively manage the restoration process in Mandeville, a containment area was established to separate the hallway from the rest of the home before any further demolition was conducted. One dehumidifier was removed from the hallway to optimize airflow, and a negative air fan was put in place prior to the removal of baseboards and drywall. The flooring in the living room, hallway, and laundry room was pulled up, with the exception of the flooring beneath the kitchen cabinets. While the house appeared relatively dry, our team recognized that extensive mold remediation would be necessary due to the strong odor indicative of significant growth.

As part of our ongoing efforts in Mandeville, we reinstalled a dehumidifier in the back of the hallway and added an air scrubber to improve air quality. Given the potential for mold, air movers were not positioned in place. The containment was placed around the hole in the drywall at the source of the leak behind the refrigerator, and antimicrobial solutions were sprayed on the foundation and baseboards to inhibit mold growth.
