The unique flavor of blue cheese is a result of mold. An edible mushroom is simply a type of fungi.

Most interior walls are built with drywall, which absorbs water.  Even a small amount of water at the base of the wall can become a big problem over time, affecting the framing materials behind the wall.

When drywall gets wet, it isn’t normally salvaged and will need to be replaced.  The longer the drywall is saturated, the chances are more likely that they will need to be replaced.

The key to dry wet walls quickly is to get air moving around them. 

By drilling holes, we can dry the wall cavity from the inside out. If the interior wall was wet for a short period, the wall cavity can be dried by the inside out by drilling holes at the base. Drilling holes allows efficient drying with minimal damage, reducing mitigation and rebuild costs.

There was water damage upstairs and we needed to check to see if the water went through to the storage room below. The tight space didn't stop us!  The owner loved how thorough we were.

The break room at this local Construction company had a bottleless water cooler.  This type of water cooler is plumbed directly into the cold water line.  In this scenario it burst overnight flooding the break room and the other areas of the office. The owners were pleased to see that we were able to work around their schedule.  By working around schedules we were able to prevent excessive downtime in the business.

Today Kevin is introducing you to a Jet CXV Turbordryer...

A Jet CXV Turbodryer is a high powered airmover designed to help accelerate the drying of building structures and contents.  The unit is designed for maximum airflow with minimal amp draw, as well as versatility, durability and ease of use.  This is ideal for both commercial and residential use for drying things such carpets, walls and hard floor surfaces.

This unit can be set up two ways...one sitting upright resting on its two feet, and two, set on all three legs with the front grill facing down - this position directs air down at the floor for focused spot drying.

You may see a dehumidifier in your home if you've had a water loss. The dehumidifier sucks in moist air and condenses the water vapor, turning it to liquid. The water exits the machine through a tube to a predetermined drainage point, such as a bathtub or sink. In addition, the air that is sucked in is then heated and put back into the room. The dehumidifier speeds up the drying process for any wet materials, such as carpet or upholstered furniture. It also helps control moisture levels and humidity and can be used in homes, warehouses, businesses or any indoor location a water loss has happened.

This was a water damage in a home due to a fallen tree during a storm.We were quick to the scene and able to clean up the debris and dry out the structure before any secondary damage was able to occur. 

Fire damage in your home can be stressful, overwhelming, and often times, out of your control. This was a porch fire caused by lightning on Vashon Island. The interior of the home had significant smoke and soot damage. The homeowner was pleased at how well we were able to restore the home to pre-loss conditions "Like it never even happened."
