Condo Water Damage Restoration FAQs

Why is condo mold prevention treatment sometimes needed?

The appliance is shut off and pulled out where possible, and the floor, cabinets and wall behind it are dried.

What is condo bathroom flood cleanup?

Extracting water from the bathroom, cleaning and disinfecting after toilet water, and checking the unit below for leaks.

What is condo ceiling water cleanup?

Draining any trapped water, removing soaked drywall and insulation, drying the ceiling cavity and checking the unit above.
