Microbial Remediation in Moreland Hills: A Case Study in Precision and Recovery
At DANE Contractors, we understand that even the most beautiful homes can fall victim to unexpected disasters.
We recently completed a critical microbial remediation project at a high-value residence in Moreland Hills, where a hidden water issue led to significant damage while the homeowner was away for the winter.
The Problem: Unchecked Water Intrusion
A ruptured hot water supply line in the home’s garage went undetected for several months, allowing water to flow freely in a closed environment. With elevated temperatures and high humidity, conditions were perfect for microbial growth to take hold and rapidly spread across virtually all surfaces.
By the time the problem was discovered, extensive microbial contamination had impacted the structure—posing serious risks to both the building’s integrity and the health of its future occupants.
Our Solution: Comprehensive Remediation & Recovery
Upon inspection, it was clear that a full-scale microbial remediation was necessary. Our team at DANE Contractors got to work, executing a meticulous, multi-phase recovery plan:
Demolition of all compromised materials: We removed drywall, insulation, and any other building materials impacted by microbial growth.
Structural drying: Our team conducted advanced structural drying of all exposed framing members to ensure no moisture remained.
Third-party oversight: A certified industrial hygienist, brought in by the homeowner’s insurance company, developed a detailed remediation protocol to guide the process and ensure full compliance with health and safety standards.
Specialized remediation: The indoor environmental professionals at RESTORZ followed the hygienist’s protocol to execute the microbial remediation with precision and care—successfully eliminating contamination and restoring the garage to a safe, clean state.
