Galveston Water Restoration Services and Mold Removal

Galveston has always been known for its beautiful historical areas and hot summer months. Many buildings in Galveston took a drastic hit from Hurricane Ike leaving them in a lot less than the condition they were once before. There are many contractors in and around Galveston and the Texas Gulf Coast who offer many services for remediation, water restoration, fire restoration and rebuilding.  We are insurance specialists. What does that mean? Instead of you having to go to bat alone, we take that burden from you. Being in the storm and restoration business for many years, we have learned the ins and outs of dealing with the insurance business. Let us be the company that helps you.

Even before Hurricane Ike, Galveston has been a breeding ground for mold. The humid conditions and extreme summer heat fuel the growth of mold on both exterior and interior surfaces.  The salt mists that come off the ocean and heavy, torrential spring rains have always brought flooding throughout the island. Galveston mold removal and water restoration services are in high demand as the summer season is fueling the mold growth caused by the storms.  Unfortunately, many homeowners may need mold removal services and not even realize it because the winter months have kept the mold problem from escalating.  If you had roof leaks, water damage from flooding, standing water underneath your pier and beam home, or any other water that breached the integrity of your home, you most likely will experience some sort of mold growth within the next few months. Frequently missed areas of the home that may require mold removal include:

  • The attic due to roof leaks, vent leaks, or wind driven water.
  • Underneath pier and beam foundations
  • Inside walls or under cabinets due to small leaks.
  • Underneath windows that sustained water damage.
  • Ventilation systems.
  • Carpet padding or sub-flooring due to spills, flooding or oversaturation of carpets when cleaning.

Mold remediation can help air quality and improve quality of life. If you have people with compromised immune systems (children, elderly, people suffering from a serious condition, etc) mold can spell serious respiratory problems and a further weakening of the immune system. Headaches, scratchy throat, watery eyes, runny nose, congestion and dizziness are just some of the symptoms of a serious mold infestation.

Many homes in Galveston have withstood many hard years of storms. Unfortunately, the materials that hold your home together are only so strong. Busted pipes, broken vents, leaking air conditioning pans: all signs that mold could be present. Let us help you make the right decisions for you and your family by testing the air quality and testing for mold. Some updates to your existing home could qualify you under the Tax Credits for making your home more energy efficient.

Other Types of Mold in Galveston:

Black streaks on asphalt shingles is known as roof algae. It will only get worse if not taken care of. Algae likes to thrive on the north side of roofs where the proper amount of shade is present. It feeds on the crushed limestone that is used in asphalt shingles. Rain spreads the algae down the roof causing unsightly black streaks. Eventually, the algae will take over the entire roof. Galveston is known for having roofs with lots of mold and algae. Many homes that have historical tile, clay tile, slate, etc, are unable to get any sort of cleaning for their roofs because anything with high pressure will void the warranty.  Our products are environmentally green, low pressure, and wont void your warranty!

We can kill and remove the algae and all forms of dirt or grime, making your roof look new again, without causing damage to the structure of the roof or materials.

Concrete Cleaning and Pressure Washing Services

Having your driveway cleaned, along with a house wash, is a great way to increase curb appeal. A lot of people do not realize how dirty their driveways, sidewalks, and patios are and are amazed with the difference, once cleaned. We can also remove irrigation rust stains from your concrete.

Brick and Block Power Washing

Brick also collects dirt, mold, and mildew and must be cleaned - power washing can cause significant damage to it. Our processes gently and thoroughly leaches the surface and the pores, cleansing even centuries of grime, contaminates, molds, mildew, moss and more, restoring the brick or block to a new appearance!

Cleaning Decks Wood Restoration and Pressure Washing

Wood restoration is, probably, the most misunderstood process. Wood is soft and can be easily damaged with too much water pressure or the wrong chemicals.

We provide numerous home exterior cleaning and pressure washing services for decks, roofs, driveways, wood restoration and more.
