The Condo Water Damage Restoration Process for Auburn

Condo Wall Cavity Drying

Shared walls between units are checked from both sides, since water in the cavity can affect a neighbor's drywall too.

Condo Bathroom Flood Cleanup

Water from an overflowing toilet, tub or shower is extracted from the bathroom floor, and the subfloor and the unit below are checked.

Condo Flooring Water Extraction

Many condos have hard flooring over a sound-control underlayment. That layer can hold water and is checked and dried or replaced.

Condo Personal Belongings Drying

Belongings are moved to dry rooms or blocked up off wet floors before extraction starts, which limits stains and damage.

Condo Mold Prevention Treatment

After drying, framing and subfloor that stayed wet can be treated with an antimicrobial before walls and floors are closed up.

When to Seek Condo Water Damage Restoration in Auburn

Cracked or Loose Bathroom Tiles

Bathroom tiles that loosen or crack can mean water has been getting under them.

Discolored or Soft Drywall

Drywall that is soft, stained or crumbling has absorbed water and may need to be cut out.

Musty Odors in Rooms

A musty smell in a room or closet points to hidden moisture in walls, floors or the ceiling.

Ceiling Stains or Sagging

A stain, bulge or sag in the ceiling usually means water is coming from the unit or roof above.
