Project Case Studies

A supply line burst in the middle of winter, flooding 2,400 sq ft of finished basement with 3–4 inches of standing water. We arrived within 70 minutes, deployed 3 truck-mounted extractors, and set up 18 air movers and 6 commercial dehumidifiers. Full structural drying achieved in 4 days. Total content pack-out and restoration coordinated with insurance.

A kitchen fire was contained quickly by the fire department, but heavy smoke had migrated through the HVAC system into all 3 floors of a 4,200 sq ft colonial. Full-structure soot cleaning using dry sponge and wet methods, thermal fogging for odor, HEPA air scrubbing for 10 days. All contents inventoried and professionally cleaned off-site.

A home inspection prior to sale discovered black mold covering approximately 60% of the attic sheathing — the result of years of inadequate ventilation trapping warm, moist air. Full IICRC S520-compliant remediation with negative air containment, HEPA vacuuming, wire brushing, antimicrobial application, and ventilation correction. Clearance test passed first attempt.

A roof drain failure during a heavy storm caused water to track down 8 floors of a 22-story office building, affecting server rooms, executive suites, and open office areas. Night and weekend response to minimize business interruption. Coordinated with building management and 3 separate tenant insurance carriers simultaneously.

A main sewer line blockage caused raw sewage to back up into 6 first-floor units of a 24-unit residential building. Category 3 (black water) extraction requires full personal protective equipment, EPA-registered biocide treatment, and strict containment protocols. All 6 units restored in 72 hours with tenant relocation coordinated through management.

A grease fire in a commercial kitchen caused significant structural fire damage and heavy smoke contamination throughout a 2,800 sq ft restaurant. Emergency board-up within 2 hours of fire clearance. Full demolition of fire-damaged areas, soot cleaning of salvageable structure, odor elimination, and coordination with reconstruction contractor for full rebuild.
