Q&A
How does Behind The Door handle water damage from foundation seepage or groundwater intrusion in Lexington?
In Lexington, foundation seepage and groundwater intrusion are common, especially after heavy rains or snowmelt. We start with a thorough inspection to identify the source, then use moisture meters and thermal imaging to assess damage. Our team implements drainage solutions, sump pumps, and waterproofing as needed, followed by drying and restoration. We also assist with insurance claims to ensure your repair is covered.
What types of remodeling projects do you handle, and can you help with kitchen remodels near downtown Lexington?
We handle full kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, laundry room, garage, and common area remodels. Whether you're near Rupp Arena or in the Chevy Chase neighborhood, we manage everything from design to completion. Our experienced crew handles drywall, flooring, cabinetry, and fixtures, ensuring your remodel increases both comfort and home value.
How long does a typical mold remediation process take for a Lexington home?
The timeline depends on the extent of the mold. For smaller areas (e.g., from a water heater leak), it may take 1-3 days. Larger issues, like those after a flood, can take a week or more. We first contain the area, remove affected materials, treat with antimicrobials, and dry thoroughly. We also address the moisture source to prevent recurrence.
