Damage Restoration & Environmental Abatement | Restoration 1 Port St Lucie

After a storm, look for discolored spots on ceilings or walls, a musty odor, or peeling paint. Wet insulation in your attic or walls can also cause a noticeable drop in indoor temperature and higher energy bills. If you have a leaking skylight, you might see water stains or dripping directly below it.

First, we stop the water source. Then we dry the affected area completely using industrial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers. If mold is visible or suspected, we perform environmental abatement, which includes containing the area, removing contaminated materials like drywall or insulation, and applying antimicrobial treatments to prevent regrowth.

In most cases, wet insulation needs to be removed and replaced because it loses its R-value and can trap moisture, leading to mold. We carefully extract the damaged insulation, dry the framing and cavity, and then install new insulation to restore your home's energy efficiency and prevent future issues.
