Project overview
Location: San Francisco, CA
Dates: Jan 24th - Feb 11th, 2023
Our client found water dripping from the ceiling near the skylight window. After the leak source (the roof) was fixed, the ceiling was still wet. Being a responsible owner, the client felt it prudent to have a professional assessment of the damage and called SAFENEST Restoration.
During the assessment of the affected area, our technician draws a moisture map showing the affected area and the amount of moisture content in the drywall based on moisture meter readings.
As a result of the assessment, Class 1 water damage has been detected. The water intrusion probably originated from the skylight window opening upstairs. Excessive moisture on the wall showed no additional intrusions and probably caused water to travel from the ceiling down to the wall. The exact location of water intrusion could be located only after demolition damaged parts of the wall and ceiling, including insulation. Water damage remediation was recommended .
So based on the provided assessment report, the client made the decision to proceed with our company’s service, including demolition, drying, and restoration of the property to it’s pre-disaster condition.
Our team did all the work step by step, following the best water damage restoration practices:
