Same-Day Inspection & Testing
A certified foreman arrives at your Clifford property — typically within 4 hours for emergencies, next morning for non-emergencies. Full inspection with thermal imaging, moisture mapping, and air sampling. Written scope and timeline delivered same day.
Containment Setup: Day 1
HEPA air scrubbers deployed, negative pressure verified, 6-mil barriers erected, HVAC sealed. For a typical Bartholomew County residential project, containment is complete within 2-4 hours. Work begins immediately after — often the same day.
Material Removal: Days 1-3
All affected drywall, insulation, carpet, pad, and ceiling materials removed under containment. For a single bathroom in Clifford: 1 day. For a full basement: 2-3 days. Every bag documented for your insurance adjuster.
Antimicrobial Treatment: Day 3-4
EPA-registered antimicrobial applied to all affected structural surfaces at manufacturer-specified rates and dwell times. This phase takes 4-8 hours for most Bartholomew County projects. The drying phase begins immediately after treatment.
Structural Drying: Days 3-8
Industrial LGR dehumidifiers and axial air movers run continuously until moisture content meets IICRC S500 dry standard. In Clifford's climate, this typically takes 3-5 days for a basement, 5-7 for crawl spaces. Daily moisture readings logged.
Clearance Testing: Day 8-10
Independent lab collects post-remediation air and surface samples. Lab analysis takes 24-48 hours. Written clearance report confirms spore counts are within normal ranges. Total timeline: 7-14 days for most Bartholomew County residential projects.
Reconstruction & Final Walkthrough
If drywall, flooring, or trim were removed, reconstruction begins after clearance. Duration depends on scope — typically 2-5 days. Final walkthrough with your foreman confirms every surface is restored and the timeline was met.
