Water Damage

Houses can experience water damage for a variety of reasons, including:

- Leaky Roofs: Damaged or missing shingles can allow rainwater to infiltrate the home, causing leaks and water damage to ceilings and walls.

- Plumbing Issues: Broken or corroded pipes can lead to leaks. Over time, these leaks can cause significant water damage, especially behind walls or under floors where they are not immediately visible.

- Appliance Malfunctions: Appliances like washing machines, dishwashers, and water heaters can leak or malfunction, resulting in water damage to surrounding areas.

- Window Seal Failures: Damaged or improperly sealed windows can allow rainwater to penetrate and cause damage to walls and frames.

​

Acuity Builders & Construction, Inc. assesses the extent of water damage in the home and implements a comprehensive plan that includes drying out affected areas, removing damaged materials, and preventing mold growth. We then repair and restore the structure, ensuring your home returns to a safe and livable condition.

Fire & Smoke Damage

Fire damage to homes can be devastating, both emotionally and financially. 

​

- Causes of Fires: The leading causes of home fires include cooking accidents, heating equipment, electrical malfunctions, candles, smoking materials, and deliberate acts of arson.

​

- Smoke Damage: Even after the flames are extinguished, smoke can cause significant damage. Smoke can infiltrate walls, furniture, and personal belongings, resulting in lingering odors and health risks.

​

- Structural Damage: Fire can weaken the structural integrity of a home. While some areas may appear intact, hidden damage can compromise stability, making professional assessment essential for safety.

​

- Water Damage: The water used to extinguish a fire can also cause extensive damage. This adds a layer of complexity, as both fire and water damage may require remediation.

​

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), U.S. fire departments respond to an average of over 350,000 home structure fires annually, resulting in millions of dollars in property damage.

​

Acuity Builders & Construction, Inc. will evaluate the damage, secure the premises, and collaborate with you and your insurance provider to restore your property to its pre-fire state—or even improve upon it.

Mold Damage

Did you find mold in your home? 

​

- Assessment: We conduct a thorough inspection to identify the extent of the mold growth, including hidden areas like behind walls or under flooring and assess the source of moisture that is contributing to the mold problem.

- Containment: We then contain the affected area using plastic sheeting and negative air pressure to prevent mold spores from spreading to other parts of the home during the remediation process.

- Removal: We then safely remove all mold-infested materials, including drywall, insulation, and flooring, following industry standards for hazardous material handling.

- Cleaning and Disinfection: Next, all surfaces that are salvageable are cleaned and treated with specialized antimicrobial agents to eliminate any remaining mold spores and prevent future growth.

- Drying: Finally, the area is thoroughly dried using commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers to eliminate moisture, which is crucial to prevent mold from returning.

- Repairs and Restoration: Once the area is mold-free and dry, the restoration begins by replacing removed materials and restoring the affected area to its original state.

​

Our comprehensive approach ensures that the mold issue is effectively resolved and that the home is safe for your family.
