Water Leak Causes Mold Damage in Boulder CO

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Living in an area that experiences freezing temperatures during the winter can create more problems then just frostbite. If a property has not been properly winterized with tasks such as insulating parts of water pipes that are bare or draining and disconnecting  hoses,  a property can be prone to burst pipes due to ice freezing and expanding.

In Boulder, Colorado, homeowners were not aware that they had a freeze break in a hose bib. The burst pipe consequently was leaking into their office and was even caused mold damage to develop.  At that point, NuBilt was called to remedy the situation. NuBilt removed the carpet, mitigated the mold damage, encapsulated the framing, and repaired the drywall, trim and carpet.

Helping Hand Program: NuBilt Rescues Water-Damaged Condo Owner in Aurora

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

Vanessa H. was a property owner that suffered from a frozen pipe break back in December of 2008. The busted pipe flooded the kitchen, bathroom, living room and garage of her townhome. The portion of pipes that broke (located behind the refrigerator) were not insulated or behind a wall, leaving them susceptible to freezing.

NuBilt Restoration & Construction responded to the emergency water loss and provided the water mitigation services. The deliberation was still ongoing about who was responsible for the emergency and reconstruction services balance. The HOA (Homeowner’s Association) insurance coverage guidelines do not include coverage for any exposed piping inside a unit and the insurance coverage of the property owner was not inclusive enough to handle the total cost to clean up all the areas affected.

She was left with an incomplete house and slim options. All avenues were exhausted for the homeowner as for obtaining assistance. The NuBilt team became concerned about Vanessa and her kids’ situation and the time that it was taking to get the situation resolved. The NuBilt team decided they would step up and get the property back to pre-loss condition regardless of compensation.

The NuBilt team was able to provide Vanessa with materials and labor to get her home back to normal in a timely manner. They did make sure the replaced pipe was properly insulated and set behind the wall to prevent future pipe freezes. In the end, the reconstruction services that NuBilt provided were estimated to be $3,121.51. NuBilt was happy offer a helping hand to Vanessa and her kids as they were faced with a situation that disrupted their lives.
