Water Damage
Modro & Company Builders of UT, Inc.
At Modro, we understand that flood and storm damage is more than just structural; it often involves deep contamination that poses long-term health and safety risks. After the recent hurricanes, many properties in Florida are left exposed to Category III floodwaters—highly contaminated water that is considered “grossly unsanitary” and poses a severe risk to health. This type of water may contain sewage, bacteria, chemicals, and even runoff from polluted sources, which can seep into materials, fostering mold, bacteria, and other contaminants that threaten both structural integrity and human health.
Our approach to restoration goes beyond the superficial cleanup that some contractors provide. We prioritize detailed remediation that not only repairs visible damage but also addresses hidden health hazards to create a safe environment for our clients and our team. With years of expertise, Modro follows rigorous protocols informed by industry standards set by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC) and collaborates with third-party professionals, including architects and environmental testing specialists, to ensure each property is restored properly and safely.
Why Thorough Remediation Matters
Floodwaters, especially those classified as Category III, bring more than visible water damage. This highly contaminated water can degrade materials, lead to harmful bacterial and mold growth, and compromise air quality. Building materials like fiberboard, drywall, and certain types of wood are highly absorbent and can harbor contaminants even after the water has been removed. For a safe, thorough remediation, these materials often need to be removed and replaced, a crucial step we follow to protect our clients from future health risks.
Our Process: Detailed Testing, Cleaning, and Restoration
At Modro, we begin every restoration project with an extensive assessment to identify the presence and extent of contamination. We utilize advanced testing methods, like Mycometer® analysis, to quantify bacteria, mold, and fungi levels within the structure. Environmental testing is essential for understanding contamination levels and crafting a protocol tailored to each unique property. After an initial cleaning and antimicrobial treatment, we perform follow-up testing to confirm the effectiveness of our methods.
In situations where contamination is severe or has permeated deeply into materials, we follow the IICRC’s industry standards to recommend appropriate demolition and replacement, rather than superficial cleaning. These protocols are not just about restoration; they are about ensuring a safe, healthy environment for those who live or work in the affected property.
