Pipe Leak That Led to Mold Growth and Bad Odor in a Columbia, MO Home

Upon arrival at the job site, our team identified the root cause of the problem: a cracked drain pipe leading to water leakage. This resulted in an unpleasant smell and the growth of black mold in different areas.

Scope of Work

The affected areas included the main floor kitchen, basement bedroom, and basement bathroom. In the basement bathroom, water stains and mold were present in the utility chase. In the basement bedroom, mold was found on carpet padding, wall panels, trim, and baseboards.

Tackling a Mess Caused by a Drain Pipe

To tackle this mold infestation effectively, we followed a thorough process:

1. Assessment and Moisture Detection: Our experts used moisture meters to assess the extent of water damage and identify hidden pockets of moisture.
2. Water Damage Mitigation: Tackling the root cause, we repaired the cracked drain pipe to prevent further water leakage, ensuring the environment was no longer prone to mold growth.
3. Mold Removal: Using industry-leading techniques, we removed mold from all affected surfaces. This included thorough cleaning of the basement bathroom utility chase and the basement bedroom's carpet padding, wall panels, trim, and baseboards.
   
4. Odor Removal: With specialized odor removal methods, we eliminated any lingering smells associated with mold and water damage, ensuring a fresh and pleasant indoor environment.
5. Drying: Using powerful dehumidifiers, we dried out the affected areas to remove any remaining moisture, preventing mold recurrence.
6. Application of Antimicrobial Sprays: As a final protective measure, we applied antimicrobial sprays to inhibit mold growth and restore a healthy indoor environment.
