We were brought in because someone told the contractor who started the project that this may be unhealthy place to have his unprotected workers in. So he walked off the job. Ya think that there may be some mold here somewhere? This is going to cost the owner around $60 grand to fix. -
wow, it's amazing what a little water can do over time. Thanks for sharing, and show us the progress pics. I always recommend to my clients to shut off the water before leaving for any length of time, this is exactly why. -
wow! that is crazy. Is their insurance covering it? -
Yes the insurance will be covering most of It. But the fraud dept is getting involved. As you can know most insurance companies do not cover mold issues. The reason is that many people have "cooked" their own homes to get big insurance claims in the past. And as you can see its not to hard to do a lot of damage and make it look like an accident.

I got to dig them out, but I did a house near Cape May a few years ago abd took a few hundred photos, Client had one of those counter top water units attached to fauct and the plastic hose cracked while they were away. Almost lost the entire house. Moisture was so bad that it soaked the insulation in walls and rotted the sheating from the inside out. Water ran for what they thought was about a month.
