Xtreme Drying was called in for an urgent restoration job by a local real estate agent preparing to list a Chandler, AZ home for sale. The property, previously used as an Airbnb, had been vacant for about a month when the agent discovered significant water damage. The source of the damage was a failed water supply line under the hall bathroom sink, which had leaked undetected for an extended period. By the time the issue was noticed, moisture had spread throughout the home, leading to visible mold growth along the baseboards. Given the severity of the situation and the need for a swift resolution before listing the property, our team mobilized quickly to assess and address the damage.

Upon arrival, we conducted a comprehensive water damage inspection to determine the full extent of the moisture intrusion. Using advanced moisture meters and infrared imaging, we identified not only the surface-level damage but also hidden moisture within the walls and flooring. The prolonged exposure to water had already compromised the drywall, baseboards, and underlying sill plate framing, creating an ideal environment for mold growth. To prevent further structural damage and potential health hazards, we immediately developed a strategic water mitigation and mold remediation plan.

The first step in our restoration process was water extraction and drying. We deployed high-powered air movers and industrial dehumidifiers to remove excess moisture and stabilize the environment. By controlling humidity levels, we aimed to prevent mold spores from spreading further. Once the drying process was underway, we shifted our focus to mold inspection and remediation. After confirming the presence of mold on the baseboards and lower portions of the drywall, we established containment barriers to isolate the affected areas. Using HEPA filtration and negative air pressure, we ensured that mold spores would not cross-contaminate other parts of the home.

Our mold remediation process involved carefully removing the contaminated baseboards and sections of drywall while ensuring that unaffected areas remained intact. Afterward, we treated exposed surfaces with antimicrobial solutions to inhibit future mold growth. A critical part of this project was drying and decontaminating the sill plate framing, which had absorbed moisture and could have led to structural deterioration if left untreated. We utilized specialized drying techniques to extract trapped moisture and applied mold-resistant sealants to reinforce the wood against future damage.

Once the remediation and drying phases were complete, we conducted a thorough post-remediation inspection to ensure that all moisture had been eliminated and that the property met industry standards for a safe, mold-free environment. Air quality testing confirmed that spore levels were back to normal, giving the real estate agent confidence in moving forward with the listing.

Thanks to our rapid response and expert restoration services, the property was restored in time for the scheduled sale. The homeowner and realtor were relieved that the issue was resolved efficiently, avoiding potential delays or lost market value due to water and mold damage.
