Mold and Water Damage Response
Moisture Management can help you mitigate the damage from a water intrusion event, identify mold if present, and assist you with remediating the damage as if it never happened!
Trust the Experts at Moisture Management
The most important priority when a significant leak occurs in a building is, of course, to stop the source of the leak immediately. Once that is complete, the next crucial step is to minimalize the water damage, dry out the interior areas as quickly as possible to prevent mold, and return the space to normal operations. The expert team at Moisture Management can assist with the entire process, from stopping the leak to calculating the correct number of dryers and dehumidifiers to effectively dry out the space.
In many cases, however, some leaks are tiny and over time, these leaks consistently provide a water source to mold spores which grow on warm, wet organic materials. Not all types of mold are dangerous to humans or animals, but all mold will deteriorate the surface it is growing on and needs to be removed. Before it can be safely removed, the mold needs to be tested so that an appropriate remediation protocol can be developed.
Moisture Management offers air, surface, water, and material testing for mold, along with remediation protocols for even the most toxic forms of indoor mold, from certified professionals. Testing is performed before the project begins, during the remediation, and after work has concluded to ensure the highest level of safety for your buildings’ occupants.

Save and Protect Your Gym Floor From Water Damage!
Moisture infiltration into the interior is always a cause for concern, given the damage water can do to building contents. However, for school administrators, water damage to a wooden gym floor can be financially disastrous. Luckily, Moisture Management has a solution that has saved several gym floors after a water leak event. This case study examines one such instance.
Moisture Management received a call from a central Indiana school that they had a major leak that had damaged their wood gym floor. The first step was identifying the source of the leak, which was caused by a sports drink bottle being lodged in a drain pipe. The bottle would rise when rain entered and plug the drain, causing it to leak onto the gym floor. Moisture Management found the bottle by using a borescope camera inserted into the drain.
The next step was to try to save the damaged wood floor. Using non-destructive moisture meters, readings were taken at various points in the floor to establish a baseline level for moisture infiltration. Once completed, Moisture Management set up a wood floor drying system to extract the moisture from the floor. Using this method, the school saved approximately $16,000 by not having to replace the gym floor!
If water damage affects your gym floor, call Moisture Management immediately to begin the remediation process.
