We thoroughly cleaned the crawl space, removing debris, contaminants, and any organic material that could contribute to poor air quality or mold growth. After preparing the area, we professionally installed a 6-mil vapor barrier across the entire 874 sq. ft. crawl space to reduce ground moisture, improve energy efficiency, and protect the home’s foundation.

Our team conducted a thorough assessment to identify potential sources of the water intrusion. We performed moisture mapping and used specialized equipment to detect hidden damp areas. Once the affected zones were confirmed, we carried out water mitigation services including water extraction, drying, and dehumidification. The bedroom was carefully monitored throughout the drying process to ensure complete moisture removal and prevent future issues such as mold growth.

I called to request the estimate and invoice for a cooking fire loss at Highfield Madison; the restoration team said they'd email a full report including photos and the mitigation total.
