Water Damage, Mold Restoration, Asbestos; Oh My!
The Challenge: A Hidden Water Leak
When "Mr. Z" first purchased his charming older home in Marietta, Georgia, he had big plans for making it his own. But within just a few months of moving in, Mr. Z discovered a problem no homeowner wants to face—a hidden water leak causing damage to his basement. The water intrusion was not only creating visible issues, but it also raised concerns about what might be lurking beneath the surface.
Luckily, Mr. Z. was connected with Zen Dry Restoration through a referral from a local networking group in Marietta. This timely referral turned out to be crucial for protecting his investment and restoring the safety of his home.
Uncovering the Bigger Problem: Mold and Asbestos
After an initial assessment, the Zen Dry team discovered that the water damage had led to a more serious issue—mold growth in the basement. While mold is always a concern for health and structural integrity, Mr. Z’s home presented an even bigger challenge. Additional testing revealed the presence of asbestos, a hazardous material that required immediate attention.
The Solution: Comprehensive Restoration and Abatement
The first priority was asbestos removal. Zen Dry coordinated the asbestos abatement by partnering with a removal company (Brothers Environmental), a trusted expert in asbestos removal. Together, they ensured that all work followed strict safety regulations, giving Mr. Z confidence that his home was in good hands.
Once the asbestos abatement was complete, Zen Dry moved on to mold remediation, using industry-leading equipment and techniques to fully eradicate the mold. In addition to this, they waterproofed the home’s foundation to prevent future water damage. Waterproofing was a key part of the long-term solution to protect the home from further leaks and moisture intrusion.
With the asbestos abatement, mold remediation, and waterproofing, the entire project took about
5 to 6 weeks from start to finish. Zen Dry’s team worked efficiently to restore the home while ensuring the highest safety and quality standards were met at each stage.
The Result: A Safe and Restored Home
Thanks to the careful and thorough work of Zen Dry, Mr. Z’s home is now completely free from mold and asbestos. Not only did the team address the immediate concerns, but they also provided Mr. Z with peace of mind, knowing that his home was restored to a safe and livable condition.
Mr. Z was thrilled with the results and grateful for the referral that connected him with Zen Dry. His experience highlights the importance of swift action when it comes to water damage, especially in older homes where hidden dangers like asbestos may be present.
