Mold after Water Damage

1/16/2018 (Permalink)

Affected hallway on the 7th floor

SERVPRO of Malibu/Topanga Canyon/Pacific Palisades was contacted regarding a previous water loss. Mold was discovered and was not addressed during the initial dry down by the former restoration company. Upon inspection, discovered walls cut open and mildew present in some of the areas. The damage was on the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th floors walls, ceilings, and floors. Once approval was granted, we provided a crew of 8 technicians and set up protective barriers around entire hallway floors, with filtration devices. All affected ceilings and walls were removed to remediate cavities where the damage occurred as well as some carpet that was not removed previously. We provided HEPA vacuuming and cleaning of all surfaces with Sporocide antimicrobial treatment or Benefect botanical product. We used HEPA filtration devices, 2 per floor during the remediation process. Protective entrances are provided for the convenience of the tenants to enter into and out of the hallways.

In 4 days our Crew provided mold remediation services, one floor at a time, completed the unfinished portion of water damage to the building, passed the post-remediation clearance testing, all by the end of that week. The management was pleased with our prompt and efficient process for such a large project.
