water damage and sewage cleanup in Fulton, MO. We recently completed a job in an apartment unit, which had suffered Category 3 water damage due to a sewage backup. Our approach is always client-first to ensure safety and satisfaction. This case study outlines the steps we took to restore this unit back to normal.
A Toilet Backup Causing Widespread Water Damage
Upon returning from a trip, our client discovered a disaster in their apartment: the toilet in the main bathroom had overflowed, affecting multiple areas of the unit. The bedroom, bathroom, hallway, living room, and kitchen were all impacted. Flooring materials including carpet, tile, laminate, trim, cabinets, the vanity, and drywall, were all severely damaged. There was furniture and other personal belongings that were unsalvageable due to the bacteria-filled water. The cleanup presented a significant challenge.
Our Approach: Water Damage Repair and Mold Mitigation
Step 1: Initial Assessment
Our first step was to assess the extent of the damage using moisture detectors. This helped us understand the scope of the problem and plan our approach effectively.
Step 2: Water Removal and Decontamination
We quickly began by removing all affected flooring. Our team used powerful air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the area thoroughly. Given the sewage aspect of the damage, we took extra precautions to sanitize the area. We applied an antimicrobial spray to eliminate bacteria and prevent mold growth.
Step 3: Structural Repairs
The water had seeped into the drywall, necessitating its removal. We carefully removed two feet of drywall from the ground up in all affected areas. In the kitchen, we had to remove the cabinets to address the wet drywall behind them.
Step 4: Cleaning and Final Touches
Our final steps involved a thorough sweep and mop of the area. We cleaned the exposed studs with the antimicrobial solution to ensure no bacteria remained and no mold would grow in the future.
Complete Mitigation and Happy Clients
Our emergency response helped prevent further damage and potential health hazards. The apartment was restored to a safe, clean, and dry state, much to the relief of these tenants. We pride ourselves on our ability to handle even the most challenging situations, by returning our clients to a safe and comfortable living space.
