Mold contamination can begin within hours of the initial water intrusion. An immediate mitigation response from an experienced contractor can prevent mold growth altogether. As mold is present everywhere, and necessary for our environment, adverse health effects are rare. However, prolonged exposure is not recommended.
Mold removal/remediation, when needed, can be accomplished quickly and safely. Air quality testing, surface sample testing, and post-remediation testing can provide the necessary documentation if the opportunity to prevent mold growth is missed.
Dehumidification & Drying are the best methods for preventing secondary damage.
In the blink of an eye, nature can produce powerful weather patterns, which can cause significant storm damage to a home or business. Wind, water, hail, lightning, and downed trees are some of the risks that can leave a home or business and the property within exposed to the elements.
TM Building Damage Restoration, Inc. can respond immediately to secure the property and limit further damage. Emergency responses to storm damage include:
Mold is a 4-letter word
When a home or business has been subjected to water damage or moisture issues, mold growth can become a serious hindrance to restoration. Mold growth is possible within 12-24 hours and may be visible within 72 hours. Once the mold presence is observed, removal and disposal will need to be completed before restoration can commence or continue. Media coverage of mold and the associated health concerns has generated fear and fostered panic, but adverse health effects are rare. That being noted, significant mold growth in an indoor environment should be addressed.
The process of restoration is scientific and can be complicated. When estimating restoration versus replacement, we evaluate structures and personal property based on the following conditions:
A prompt and efficient mitigation response can avoid business interruption, financial stress, and health risks associated with “secondary damage” (mold contamination.)
Sometimes, water can be retained in unlikely areas of the damaged structure. Undetected wet materials can result in “secondary damage,” also known as mold growth. Our technicians and estimators can ensure no moisture is left behind by using:
When planning the most efficient means to dry property, our technicians employ a time-tested formula based on the variables specific to each project including:
Mold removal/remediation is a specialized process detailed within the IICRC S520 Standard and Reference Guide for Professional Mold Remediation.
Our professional mold removal/remediation services include:
Water intrusions are the most destructive source of property damage to an indoor environment. High humidity, excess moisture (from a roof or pipe leak,) or flooding can damage structures and personal property in a very short period of time. Damages can become a health concern if the water is unsanitary, if the water intrusion has been undetected for more than 24 hours, or if emergency drying services or clean-up are delayed.
The damage that can be caused by water can be limited by a fast, competent response, if addressed within the first 24-48 hours. Although the damage can seem devastating, timely cleaning, drying, and restoration can quickly return a home or business to pre-loss condition. From structures to personal property (furniture, clothing, electronics, appliances, etc.) TM Building Damage Restoration, Inc. has completed more than 10,000 restorations spanning the past 27 years.

There are few events that are as traumatic as experiencing a fire loss. Injuries may have been sustained during the fire or escaping the flames, access to one’s home or business can be restricted for safety, personal belongings are damaged or destroyed, computers and electronics may not be salvageable; every aspect of family life or career can be compromised.
The National Fire Protection Association determined that a structure fire is reported every 65 seconds. Local fire departments respond quickly and take immediate action. TM Building Damage Restoration, Inc. is always ready to take charge when the fire is extinguished – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, since March of 1990.
Our response within 24 to 48 hours after a fire loss can dramatically impact the scope of the damage and improve the chances for recovery of more structural components and personal property. Smoke and soot are acidic, and can cause more damage the longer the particles are present. If the fire was extinguished with dry chemicals or water, smoke and soot may not be the worst of the damage-causing elements.
Fire damage restoration begins with mitigating damages by providing:
Our experienced estimators can then evaluate and determine the following:
TM Building Damage Restoration, Inc. can assist clients with every aspect of restoration and recovery after a fire.
When water intrusion occurs at a home or business, TM Building Damage Restoration, Inc. can provide fast, professional mitigation and drying services.
Water damage restoration/drying/dehumidification practices include:
Drying timeframes vary widely, and depend on a multitude of factors; structural materials, the degree of saturation, the temperature/relative humidity of the environment, and so many other aspects of each individual water loss can increase or decrease the drying time needed. Contractors, plumbers, or insurance personnel that adhere to the “3-day” drying “standard” ignore the scientific principles and many of the extenuating circumstances that affect drying time. Every loss, every structure, and every environment are different from the next and must be evaluated based on their individual properties. Our industry relies on the IICRC S500 to dictate the best-practices our technicians employ with every response.
