Muncie Water Damage Deodorization

Let's face it.  Water damage stinks!  Literally!  As water sits, especially in carpet and other absorbent materials, it starts to activate bacteria, which off-gas a pretty noxious odor.  On top of that, if mold starts to form, it can let off a pretty bad odor too.  Using a variety of specialized odor removers, counteractants, and ozone gas, we're able to remove the odors caused by flooding.

Does Your Basement Flood Every Time It Rains?

We've see it time and time again.  Some homes just always have water in their basements when it rains.  Muncie has a lot of basements, so it's such a common problem that we put together a checklist of things for you to check to prevent that next pesky basement flood.
  • Does the ground around your house slope down and away from your foundation?
  • Are your gutters clean of debris and operating properly?
  • Are those gutters attached to extensions to get the water away from your house?
  • Are those extensions in good working order?  Have they been run over by the lawnmower or chewed up by the dog?
  • Do you have a sump pump in the basement?
  • When was the last time it was checked?
  • Do you have a basement waterproofing system installed?
  • When was the last time that was serviced?
As you can see, there are easy things you can do to prevent flooding in your basement.  However, if you're still having trouble, give us a call today at 765-387-4007.

Do You Need Mold Testing In Muncie?

Basement floods, failing crawl space vapor barriers, and leaking pipes can cause mold in as little as 48 hours if they're not properly remediated.  Mold remediation is expensive, but if you catch it in time, you can avoid having an expensive mold cleanup.  That's where mold testing comes in.  With proper inspection and testing, we can frequently find mold problems before they become a huge issue.  Using a combination of air sampling and physical media sampling, we're able to tell you whether or not you have a mold problem, and how severe it is.

What Makes Our Mold Removal Process Better?

Frequently, when you hire so-called "mold removal experts" in Muncie, you're not getting a proper job.  There are countless corners that can be cut in a mold remediation project.  Here's a few so you know what to look for.  Do they:
  • Provide a free and thorough mold inspection?
  • Provide you with a free written estimate?
  • Wear proper personal protective equipment?  (If they're not willing to protect themselves, why would they go through the trouble of protecting you?)
  • Set up proper containment, to prevent mold spores from getting into your living areas?
  • Use safe, non-toxic mold removal products that won't release noxious fumes?
  • Thoroughly HEPA vacuum all surfaces to remove remaining spores?  (A VERY important step that is often skipped.)
