 Mold Clean-up / Treatments / Restoration
 The slide show below is one of the best examples of what can happen to your home if water penetration goes undetected for years or in some cases, even months. What happened here, was water would flow down the roof very fast into the small shoot, between the two front gables, and over flow the small gutter. After years it eroded the mortar joints, and began to find pathways inside Roger & Mary's home. It then made it's way through the 2nd floors bed room closet, into the 2nd floor structural area, down through the 1st floor porch column, and finally into the crawl space joist and sill plate below. Along the way it left a path of destruction, Deteriorated wood, and mold, from top to bottom. We detected it years after this began while doing a sump pump exchange and crawl space inspection. The damage was extensive. It touched areas of the formal dinning room and the foyer, both had to be completely restored. This home restoration cost well over $25,000.00 to complete. In this case the insurance paid for most of the cost, however, in most cases this type of damage will not be covered. If you think you have the potential for a problem, or that you may have the start of one call us today. The inspection is free, and you could potentially save yourself thousands in repairs later. The cost to have initially repaired this problem would have been less than $500.00. Mold has to have a source of moisture to live. By stopping the water penetration today, you will by default stop mold, fungi, and wood decay, immediately!
