Mold on the Floor of Bedroom

Dampness or inadequate ventilation typically results in the growth of mold or mildew on wood surfaces.  Mold usually appears as black or greenish-brown patches on surfaces in humid environments.  Besides causing an unsightly appearance, spores from mold fungi can cause allergies and other health concerns.

In the picture you can see the mold that formed on the wood subfloor in the spare bedroom.  This was caused by a pin hole puncture in the plumbing that was hidden inside the wall and went un-noticed for days if not weeks.

Before we could start the dryout phase we had to kill, disinfect and clean the mold from the wood subfloor.  The trim, some drywall, carpet, and pad had to discarded by IICRC standards so the mold (mold spores) would not spread thru out the home.  In the end, we make disasters "Like it never even happened."

Interior Mold Damages in Bedroom

Dampness or inadequate ventilation typically results in the growth of mold or mildew on wood surfaces.  Mold usually appears as black or greenish-brown patches on surfaces in humid environments.  Besides causing an unsightly appearance, spores from mold fungi can cause allergies and other health concerns.

In the picture you can see the mold that formed on the wood behind the drywall in the trey ceiling in the bedroom.  This was caused by a small leak in a weld of the copper pipes located in the ceiling of the bedroom.

Before we could start the dryout phase we had to kill, disinfect and clean the mold from the wood.  In the end, we make disasters "Like it never even happened."

Mold on Window Seal

Mold at the bottom of the inside would suggest that interior condensation is pooling there. Window condensation is caused by two factors: Interior glass temperatures below the dew point.  Humid enough interior air that there's enough moisture to condense on your cold windows.

This is very common with older windows that are made out of wood.

As a result of the moisture/rot damages to the wood on and around the window it was determined more cost effective to have the windows removed and replaced with new vinyl windows than cleaned and repaired.

Mold in the Attic

Mold growth occurs when the roof leak results in enough moisture buildup to cause mold growth throughout the entire attic area.  Limited growth occurs when an attic has good enough ventilation to prevent condensation, so moisture accumulates only in the immediate area of the leak.

In the picture you can see the mold growth was extensive.  We first had to make repairs to the roof so the mold would not re-surface.  Second, we removed the affected insulation.  In the final phase we killed and cleaned the mold from sheathing and rafters.

Water Damages to Hardwood Flooring in Des Moines

This shows how water can damage hardwood flooring.  The hardwood flooring was 3/4" thick, 5" wide, hand-scraped and pre-finished on the top.  Although, it was unfinished on the sides and the bottom of the hardwood flooring.  

The water traveled thru the cracks where the hardwoods met and absorbed into the hardwood flooring and into the sub-floor.  In this situation in order to clean, disinfect, and properly dry the sub-floor we had no other choice but to remove all the hardwood flooring that was located above the saturated sub-floor.

The owner of the home was astonished that the water traveled as far as it did and could cause that much damage.  After the dry-out phase was completed we installed new hardwood flooring and made the disaster "Like it never even happened."

Flood Damages to Community Center

This was the result from a flash flooding in a Community Center at a Association in Des Moines.  

In the picture you can see where the build up of torrential rain water made its way thru the door and into the game room area of the Center.  

During the repair process we proposed a plan that would help divert the rain away from the building.  The Board at the Association voted to go forward with this project and was impressed with the final result.

Water Damages to Historical Home in Des Moines

This was the aftermath of a plumbing leak in the upstairs bathroom tub/shower that caused water to travel down into the ceiling of a office below.

Due to the home being historic, the owner of the residence wanted the wood molding/trim to be salvaged to match with the rest of the home.

The crown molding and wall trim was a one of kind that had the original stain from the early 1900's.  In order to remove the wet ceiling/walls and repair it properly we detached the molding delicately and later were able to reset it after the ceiling repairs were.  This particular job put our repair division to the test and in the end the owner of the residence was thrilled with the finished product.
