Damage Restoration in Wilmington, NC | Gibson Paint & Restoration

A common sign of a plumbing slab leak is a sudden increase in your water bill without a change in usage. You might also notice warm spots on your floor, the sound of running water when no faucets are on, or persistent dampness near interior walls. If you see these signs, call Gibson Paint & Restoration immediately. We use specialized detection equipment to locate the leak within your concrete slab, minimize damage to your foundation, and perform a full restoration of the affected area.

Flash floods in Wilmington can dump heavy rain quickly, causing water to enter basements, crawl spaces, or ground-floor rooms. Our restoration process starts with emergency water extraction to remove standing water. Next, we set up industrial air movers and dehumidifiers to thoroughly dry the structure. We then assess and treat any affected materials, such as drywall, flooring, and insulation. For homes near the Cape Fear River or in low-lying areas prone to flash flooding, we also provide advice on preventing future intrusion.

Yes, attic condensation is a leading cause of mold growth in Wilmington homes, especially during humid summers. It occurs when warm, moist air from living spaces rises into a cold attic. Besides mold, signs include water stains on ceilings and musty odors. Gibson Paint & Restoration can dry the affected attic area and remove any mold growth. To prevent recurrence, we may recommend improving attic ventilation, sealing air leaks from below, and proper insulation—tailored to your home’s location, such as near Landfall or in older homes downtown.
