Disaster Prevention Tip Sheet

FALL 2008  
 
Paradise Saves Home Structure & Belongings 
 
The heat went off while these home owners were away for the winter. So much water damage resulted that contractors said that the house needed to be completed gutted and most of the contents discarded. 
 
WaterDamagedHouseThe Paradise Disaster Restoration crew was able to restore much of the structure and many of the contents.
 
First, the damage was stabilized and the salvageable contents removed, cleaned, and dried. The mold on the walls and ceilings was eradicated and a mildew preventative applied to all surfaces. Since the house was without heat, Paradise brought in a mobile furnace and dried everything out.
 
These efforts results in more than half of everything being saved!

 
Client Testimonial  
 
We used paradise about 13 yrs ago to restore our basement after water damaged it. Unfortunately we needed their service again recently and the quality of service is the same today as it was then. Thank you for responding so quickly and for taking care of our basement again.

Q&A
About Disaster Restoration
 
You recently eradicated mold from my attic. Will it come back?
 
It should not. After we removed all traces of the mold we treated all the surfaces in your attic with a powerful mold preventive that will stop the mold from returning.

Mold doesn't seem to show as much in the winter. Does that mean it has died?
 
NO. Since heated houses in our area are often very dry during the winter months, mold problems do seem to subside. However, as soon as the humidity rises when we open the windows in the spring, the mold will grow rapidly.
 
The sooner you treat the problem, the healthier your home and family will be.
