Water Damage Cleanup Success Story!
What with all of the hubub around the holidays it only just occured to me that I never followed up on a post from last month about the annual inspection here at The Caverns. As I mentioned then one of my roommates managed to nearly destroy his floor with water over the summer. So we calle don the water restoration ervices of WaterRestoration911.com to get some one to come in and repair the damage before the annual apartment inspection.
They got me a quote in less than a day and had workmen out here in under a week. They were not only able to repair the damage to his floor, but also identified a problem we were unaware of: mold. Luckily, the same crew also specializes in Black Mold Removal, so they were able to help us out with that as well.
It turns out the rain gutters outside his room were not properly installed (no surprise considering the slap dash job the construction crew did on these low cost apartments) so water has been seeping into his walls for the last three years and this has caused mold buildup. It wasn’t anywhere near dangerous levels yet, but no one likes the idea of sleeping next to mold, regardless of the health concerns. The best news of all was that since the problem was the gutters themselves the landlords had to pay for all of the repairs and we ended up looking like heroes for discovering the problem instead of like schlubs for screwing up our floor. 
Great advice…I wish I could have known this last summer after our home was hit with a series of hard storms.
Glad you found it informative, Angie! At least now you know for next time
Hello I think your post
Whether from a broken pipe, leaky roof or natural disaster, water damage to your home or business can be a time consuming problem. Don’t try to clean up the water damage yourself– let us clean it up for you. Certain types of water damage may be toxic, such as damage from flooding, sewage backups or appliance leakage.
Well if there is a water wastage anywhere around you you can stop that by hiring professional plumbers from the website.
So you wont have to do much to fix any of the plumbing related problem.
I’ve been shopping for a rental house for the last several months, and I keep hearing mold horror stories. The rain gutters are something that definitely need to be watched closely, as older houses it seems become a virtual death trap with the amount of mold buildup that can occur.
Great post. My friend Sarah told me about this blog a few weeks ago but this is the first time I am visting. I’ll positively be back.
The water was wasted on the floor and it was repaired and compensated by the landlord. So you finally got a good service ending up in a comfort zone.
