Shower Causes Water Damage in Cedar Knolls, NY

What Happened?

After a poorly executed renovation resulted in this Cedar Knolls, NY resident’s home to develop mold in the surrounding drywall and subfloor, the homeowner had no clue how to proceed. After hearing about SERVPRO of Yonkers North from a coworker, they decided to reach out to us to handle the repairs. Once we heard about the terrible experience the homeowner had with their previous contractor, we were determined to make things right.

Knowing this would require a full teardown of the shower and bathroom, the SERVPRO crew stocked their van with the necessary equipment to dry any residual moisture that may remain after removal of the affected materials. Arriving as soon as possible to the home, the team wasted no time getting to work, stripping away the botched shower renovation and moving the materials out of the room. 

What Did We Do?

Getting a better look at the source of the leak was an integral part of this repair. After deploying moisture sensors to track down the source, the surrounding drywall was stripped and the leak was patched. Continuing on, the crew stripped away any and all drywall sections dampened by the leak, spraying an antimicrobial agent to nip the possibility of mold in the bud. After the SERVPRO team’s job was completed, the homeowner had a blank canvas which could be renovated (properly this time). This bathroom was now well on its way to fulfilling the owner’s vision.
