When the homeowner contacted Zen Dry, our team sprang into action, arriving equipped with specialized tools to assess the damage and begin the restoration process. Here’s how we tackled the project:
1. Emergency Water Removal
Water from the burst pipe had saturated the basement floor, soaking carpets and seeping into the walls. Using advanced water extraction tools, Zen Dry quickly removed standing water, preventing further damage and reducing the risk of mold growth.
2. Comprehensive Drying and Dehumidification
Hidden moisture often lingers in walls, flooring, and ceilings. Zen Dry set up industrial-grade fans and dehumidifiers to dry out the affected areas thoroughly. This step is crucial, as mold can start forming within 24-48 hours if moisture remains.
3. Mold Inspection and Remediation
During the drying process, our team detected early signs of mold behind the drywall. Zen Dry’s certified mold remediation experts carefully removed the affected materials and treated the area with antimicrobial solutions, ensuring the home was safe and mold-free.
4. Reconstruction and Final Touches
After the drying and sanitization process, Zen Dry’s restoration team repaired the water-damaged walls, ceilings, and flooring. By the end of the project, the basement was fully restored to its pre-damage condition, offering the homeowners peace of mind and a fresh start.
