Water Damage Restoration: Burst Supply Line in East Hill Kent Basement

Before: Standing water in finished basement with saturated drywall and carpet, moisture meter reading 28% on baseboards
Before: Saturated finished basement after copper supply line failure, moisture content 28% in baseboards, visible wicking 18 inches up drywall.
After: Fully restored basement with new drywall, flooring, and documented moisture readings at 12% equilibrium
After: Dried to IICRC S500 standards, rebuilt with moisture readings documented at 12% wood equilibrium.

A copper supply line behind the washing machine let go at 2 AM while the homeowners were asleep in East Hill. By morning, two inches of standing water covered 800 square feet of finished basement. We arrived within 90 minutes of the call, extracted the water, and set a six-day drying plan with Dri-Eaz LGR dehumidifiers and Injectidry floor mats pulling vapor through the subfloor. The psychrometric data, logged twice daily, showed vapor pressure differential dropping from 1.2 to 0.3 inches of mercury by day four. We replaced the drywall, baseboards, and carpet pad, then delivered the drying log and photo record to their adjuster. Haven Standard, Clause 1: $4,200 written price before we started. Their claim paid in full.

Mold Remediation: Attic Mold in Panther Lake After Improper Ventilation

Before: Attic sheathing covered in visible mold growth, bathroom fan venting directly into attic space
Before: Attic sheathing with visible mold colonization across 600 square feet, bathroom fan dumping moist air directly into rafter bay.
After: Clean attic sheathing with new vent baffles, properly routed exhaust fan, and post-remediation clearance testing
After: Remediated to IICRC S520, new soffit baffles installed, exhaust fan routed through roof deck with passive ridge venting restored.

The previous owner had vented the bathroom fan into the attic instead of through the roof. Five years of that mistake in Panther Lake’s wet winters left the sheathing coated in mold. We contained the attic with negative air pressure, HEPA-vacuumed the sheathing, applied antimicrobial to the studs, and fixed the ventilation defect that caused it. Post-remediation air sampling showed spore counts below outdoor baseline. The written scope was $3,800 before we cut anything. We also documented the pre-existing construction error with photos, which helped the homeowner recover from the seller’s disclosure omission.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration: Kitchen Grease Fire in Meridian Valley

Before: Kitchen with soot-stained cabinets, melted range hood, and smoke damage extending into adjacent living room
Before: Grease fire damage with protein soot on cabinets, thermal damage to range hood, smoke odor penetration into drywall and HVAC returns.
After: Rebuilt kitchen with new cabinets, range hood, painted surfaces, and ozone-treated living room
After: Source removal of charred materials, ultrasonic cleaning of salvageable contents, thermal fogging and ozone treatment of living space.

A turkey fryer got away from them in Meridian Valley on Thanksgiving morning. The protein soot from grease fires is nearly invisible but aggressively acidic, etching cabinet finishes and embedding in porous drywall. We scoped it in writing at $7,400 before demolition: remove and replace the range hood and upper cabinets, ultrasonic-clean the dishes and glassware in our contents facility, thermal-fog the living room for odor, and run ozone for 48 hours. The HVAC ductwork got rotary-brushed and HEPA-vacuumed because smoke had pulled through the return. Daily photo documentation went to the carrier. The 365-Day Done Right Promise covers any odor recurrence.

Storm & Disaster Restoration: Wind-Driven Rain in Kent’s West Hill Neighborhood

Before: Living room with water-stained ceiling, saturated insulation visible through collapsed drywall, damaged roof decking above
Before: Wind-driven rain through compromised roof decking, ceiling drywall collapsed, insulation saturated at R-38 depth, moisture migration into wall cavities.
After: Repaired roof decking, new insulation, restored ceiling and walls with documented drying logs
After: Roof deck repaired, insulation replaced, ceiling and walls dried to specification with daily moisture mapping delivered to adjuster.

A November storm peeled back shingles on a West Hill gable end and drove rain straight into the attic for six hours before the homeowner noticed the ceiling bubbling. We found R-38 fiberglass insulation packed to 68% moisture content, heavy enough to collapse the drywall below. Our scope in writing: remove the wet insulation, set drying chambers in the wall cavities with Injectidry hoses, replace the drywall and insulation, and coordinate roof repair through our reconstruction crew. Total: $6,100. The drying logs tracked 14 days from 68% to 12% moisture content, documented to IFA standards. Their carrier accepted the invoice without supplement because the data was already organized.

Sewage Cleanup: Backed-Up Main Line in Kent’s Downtown Core

Before: Commercial bathroom with sewage-contaminated flooring, base of toilet compromised, Category 3 water affecting adjacent office space
Before: Category 3 black water backup affecting 400 square feet of commercial bathroom and carpeted office, base of toilet flange compromised.
After: Fully sanitized space with new flooring, sealed concrete subfloor, and replaced toilet flange with documented clearance
After: Category 3 protocol completed, porous materials removed, subfloor sealed, non-porous surfaces sanitized to EPA-registered standard, post-cleaning ATP testing passed.

A main line blockage in downtown Kent sent sewage backward through a commercial toilet flange on a Saturday morning. Category 3 water demands full removal of porous materials, no exceptions. We wrote the scope at $5,600 before anyone entered the space: remove the vinyl flooring and carpet, remove the baseboards, HEPA-vacuum and sanitize the concrete subfloor with EPA-registered disinfectant, replace the toilet flange, and install new LVT flooring. ATP testing confirmed sanitation levels below 10 RLU before we released the space. The business reopened Monday morning. No scope creep, no surprises.

Reconstruction & Cleanup: Full Rebuild After Water Damage in Scenic Hill

Before: Gutted kitchen with cabinets and flooring removed, exposed studs showing water staining, temporary support in place
Before: Kitchen gutted to studs after prolonged leak, water-stained framing, temporary bracing in place, ready for reconstruction scope.
After: Fully rebuilt kitchen with new cabinets, quartz countertops, waterproof flooring, and documented final walkthrough
After: Complete rebuild with moisture-tested framing, new cabinets, quartz countertops, waterproof LVT flooring, final punch list signed by homeowner.

A slow leak under the Scenic Hill kitchen sink went undetected for months, destroying the cabinet box, subfloor, and adjacent hardwood. Mitigation dried the framing to 12% moisture content over eight days. Then we scoped the rebuild separately, in writing, with a full material list and fixed price: $11,400 for cabinet replacement, quartz countertops, waterproof LVT flooring, and trim. This is reconstruction, not emergency mitigation, so we scheduled it like a remodel, not a dispatch. The Haven Standard still applied: written price before work, photo record every day, 365-Day Done Right Promise on the finished work. The homeowner knew the full cost before the first cabinet arrived.
