Xtreme Drying responded promptly to a residential mold issue in Queen Creek, AZ, the day after Christmas. The homeowners contacted us after noticing their kitchen island warping and suspected moisture damage. Upon arriving at the property, our team performed a thorough mold inspection and leak detection assessment. During the inspection, we discovered mold growth behind the kitchen cabinet paneling and observed that the hardwood flooring had begun to buckle, indicating moisture issues beneath the surface.

To contain the mold and prevent further contamination, we constructed a containment barrier around the affected kitchen area. Special care was taken to stabilize and shore up the granite countertop to prevent any cracking or structural damage during the mold remediation process. Once the workspace was secured, our certified mold remediation specialists began carefully removing the mold-affected cabinets, drywall, and damaged flooring materials. Each step of the removal followed industry best practices to ensure the complete elimination of mold spores from the area.

After the removal phase, the next priority was sanitization and air quality control. The exposed wall framing and subfloor were thoroughly sanitized using professional-grade antimicrobial agents to ensure no residual mold remained. We also set up HEPA air filtration devices to capture airborne mold spores and improve indoor air quality throughout the remediation process.

During our leak detection efforts, we identified the root cause of the water damage: a tiny pinhole leak in the water supply line behind the kitchen wall. Though the leak appeared minor, it had been slowly saturating the surrounding materials, leading to extensive mold growth and structural damage over time.

Unfortunately, the water-damaged flooring extended throughout the entire home, posing a significant inconvenience for the homeowners. Since the flooring was continuous, a full replacement would be required throughout the residence to restore the space fully. While this added complexity to the restoration process, our team prioritized clear communication with the homeowners, keeping them informed about every step, including the extent of the damage and the next phases of the restoration plan.

By the end of the mold remediation process, Xtreme Drying had successfully eliminated the mold, sanitized the space, and identified the source of the water damage. Our team’s prompt response, attention to detail, and comprehensive services ensured the home was safe for repairs to begin, giving the homeowners peace of mind during a stressful time.
