Seabrook Mold Project

During Remodeling

Before: This is a good example of water damage that turned into mold damage. The water from the roof penetrated the exterior wall and created a big mess.
During: The wall behind the damaged mold was a stair and closet area. We removed the molded drywall and found the base plate of the wall totally gone.
During: After disinfecting the studs and the brick wall with a mold agent, we re-built the wall by adding braces and a new bottom plate.
During: Plywood sheathing along with a weather barrier was installed. Then the repaired section was encapsulated with an oil base primer.

After Remodeling

Drywall and new baseboards were installed and painted. The cement slab had a secondary problem with moisture penetrating from underneath.
A moisture test was done for the concrete slab to discover how much moisture was coming up through the slab, causing effervescent to grow and form on the cement slab floor.
We used a grinder to remove the effervescent from the cement floor. Then used a Vaportight coat SG4 to cover the slab with a clear coat to end the moisture penetration. The siding was repaired, and the brick was re-pointed.
