This project started with a sewer backup in the basement of a rental property.
Once the affected areas were assessed, the damage extended beyond what could be seen on the surface. Flooring and drywall had been impacted, and as removal got underway, the flooring had a little surprise waiting for us: two layers instead of one.
Water damage has a way of telling all of a building’s secrets.
Both layers of affected flooring were removed, along with damaged drywall and other impacted materials. Exposed areas were then cleaned, sanitized and treated before the drying process could begin.
With the affected materials out of the way, air movers and dehumidification equipment were brought in to get the structure back to a dry standard and ready for the next stage of restoration.
It’s a good example of why water damage isn’t always limited to what you can see. What looks straightforward at first can change once flooring comes up and walls are opened.
The initial damage may be what brings us to a property. Understanding the full scope is what determines what happens next.
