Mr. and Mrs. Peck, from Centennial, Colorado, discovered water streaks and visible mold damage in their basement kitchen.

Water Streaks & Mold Damage in Basement

As the basement kitchen ceiling and upper cabinets showed deterioration from moisture, it was evident that there was at least a leaky source coming from above.

Two weeks prior, a plumber had been called by the home owners to fix a broken cast-iron pipe in the kitchen on the main floor. Although the busted pipe was mended, a different problem was still growing—mold.

Mr. and Mrs. Peck, unsure of the extent of the damage, contacted their insurance company to file a claim. After the delegation process, NuBilt Restoration & Construction was assigned to the claim.

Through the use of a thermal imaging camera, the NuBilt project manager was able to detect moisture still present behind cabinets, walls and suspended ceilings. The mold damage present behind the cabinets, walls and ceilings was significant.

Starting on the mold remediation, two air scrubbers were placed and containment barriers for both the upstairs and basement kitchens were set up. The gutted walls and suspended ceiling were encapsulated to inhibit further mold growth.

The entire mold remediation process duration was about three days. Other than the delay from the shipment of the new cabinets, Mr. and Mrs. Peck were able to have the property restored in a timely manner.
