Unknown Water Damage: A Renter’s Nightmare
For renters, there are a number of considerations that go into renting a property. A usual rental checklist will include searching for a specific number of bedrooms and bathrooms, a garage, location and possibly the types of appliances a property is rented with. Unfortunately, asking about previous water damage is usually not on the list. And even if it is, it is unlikely that the information will be disclosed.
A simple visual inspection of a property is usually not enough to locate hidden sources of water damage. Often, properties are painted prior to being shown; hence, visual evidence of mold or water damage will be concealed. Also, it might be the case that water damage occurred years ago and is hibernating until spring; “spring” being the day you take possession and move into your brand new water-damaged rental.
A recent example of renting a property with unknown water damage involves a non-profit group from Texas who recently rented an older home to use as a historic museum. The group had allocated $5000 towards renovating the historic property to house the museum. Unfortunately, upon renovating the property, toxic black mold was discovered within the walls.

Forecasters predict active hurricane season for 2010

Forecasters predict active hurricane season
The Associated Press
Published: March 11, 2010
Meteorologists are predicting an active 2010 hurricane season with above-normal threats on the U.S. coastline.
Hurricane Forecaster Joe Bastardi, with the AccuWeather.com Hurricane Center, said Wednesday that he predicts seven landfalls. Five will be hurricanes and two or three of the hurricanes will be major landfalls for the U.S.
Bastardi forecasts 16 to 18 tropical storms in total, 15 of which will likely be in the western Atlantic or Gulf of Mexico.
In a typical season, there are about 11 named storms, with only two or three impacting the coast of the United States.
The rapidly weakening El Nino, warmer ocean temperatures, weakening trade winds and higher humidity levels will all contribute to greater storm activity.

Water Cleanup Tampa: 5 Easy Ways To Clean up After A Storm
From Wikepedia:
STORM
A storm (from Proto-Germanic *sturmaz “noise, tumult”) is any disturbed state of an astronomical body’s atmosphere, especially affecting its surface, and strongly implying severe weather. It may be marked by strong wind, thunder and lightning (a thunderstorm), heavy precipitation, such as ice (ice storm), or wind transporting some substance through the atmosphere (as in a dust storm, snowstorm, hailstorm, etc).
Storms can happen when you least expect it. Learn how to be prepared and easy ways to cleanup after a storm:

But what about Mold Remediation horror stories?
In our last Blog, we talked about Water Damage Tampa Bay horror stories. Well what about mold remediation horror stories you might ask? Recently, we were posed the following question.
“How do I sue this company and what do I sue for? We had a mold problem in our walls and we called several companies that claimed they did mold remediation for estimates. The one we chose was the one who could come the fastest because we were feeling sick. This company came out and screwed up everything, they did not seal the affected room, they didn’t clean any furniture before moving it out of the room. All they wanted to do was remove some dry wall and spray “mold eating enzyme” on the rotted black moldy wood and then leave some dehumidifiers and air cleaners for 3 days. Then come back and spray some harsh chemical to “kill” any mold that was left. I wound up doing all the tear out of the wood and studs and flooring myself because they said they only did that if we hired them for the “rebuild”. So they wanted to leave all this black toxic mold there until then. They never came back to finish the job, just came back to retrieve their equipment. Their equipment was more contaminated than my wall and it stunk up my home. The independent air quality tests we did showed toxic mold before they came and little else. After they left there was no more toxic mold thanks probably to my hard work at cutting out all the moldy studs and flooring, but there was more not so toxic mold that should not have been there and it was all throughout the house. They put my family at risk due to their lack of proper containment procedures and further contaminated my home with other strains of mold, AND never did come back to finish the job…”
This is a terrible story that is unfortunately too common. The bottom line: Call Advanced Restoration, Inc. 1-800-DRY-ME-OUT. If you live outside of Western Florida, make sure you follow these steps:
1) Check with the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning & Restoration http://www.iicrc.org/ Find a restoration/remediation company in your area that is certfied.
2) Check references. Any decent professional company will be able to supply a list of satisfied clients.
One huge red flag in the story above was the fact that these so-called mold specialists did not remove the mold. Mold must be removed, dead or alive.
If you are reading this blog and live outside of Florida, feel free to contact us with any questions you may have. Situations like the one described above do not have to happen.
