Rancho Santa Fe Mold Treatment

Home > Projects > Rancho Santa Fe Mold Treatment

In 2003 Alliance Environmental performed mold remediation at a family residence in Rancho Sante Fe, an affluent area located in the north county of San Diego. The remediation was necessary because of a pin-hole pipe leak that had been leaking for several months and had affected multiple areas within the home including the kitchen, hallways, dining room, stairwell, and bathroom. Mold growth was present and damage to building material was easily identified. Kitchen cabinetry, high quality wood floors and large of drywall were destroyed by both the mold and water damage. The remediation cost approximately $15,000 and was done using normal industry-standard methods. Alliance obtained a clearance and approval and the homeowner hired a general contractor to rebuild and remodel the affected areas.

The cost to rebuild cost was approximately $100K and a year later during the final stages of completion the remodel construction company re-punctured the same pipe that had leaked previously while attaching baseboard. The pipe leaked again for up to six months and damaged the same areas of the home that had been affected the year before. The general contractor was at fault and their insurance company would now have to cover the costs for repair and remediation.

The homeowner was distraught, to say the least, and called Alliance Environmental back to try and solve their dilemma.
       
The homeowner did not want to replace the new, expensive cabinetry and asked if there was any way to dry the affected areas and destroy the mold issue as well. Using the ThermaPureHeat treatment, Alliance was able to achieve both acceptable moisture levels for reconstruction and eight days before Christmas obtained a mold clearance from the lab of H.M. Pitt. In addition, the technician for mold testing told Alliance that mold spore levels from three air samples came back way below outside ambient levels.

The cost was lower and just under $20,000 using the new ThermaPureHeat remediation system. Alliance Environmental was able to:

• leave all cabinetry in place
• save all remaining floor materials
• protected heat sensitive building materials within the affected areas
• saved the customer, general contractor and insurance company time and money to repair the damage.

Another successful job for the Alliance Environmental Group and their ThermaPureHeat treatment for mold.
