Quick answers for Clayton homeowners.
We have antique hardwood floors throughout our Clayton home. Supply line broke. What is the realistic outcome for the floors?
Have wet historic hardwood assessed for its actual condition, installation and underlying moisture. Discuss suitable drying and possible repair or replacement with the restoration team and a qualified flooring specialist. No prior Gateway salvage rate or twenty-four-hour recovery guarantee is established here.
Our Wydown-Forsyth house has the original rubble stone foundation. It seeps every spring. Is there a restoration fix?
Recurring foundation seepage warrants assessment by a qualified drainage or foundation contractor. Gateway can discuss drying and remediation of affected materials after a water event. The appropriate repair and any insurance decision depend on the property findings and policy.
Our 1920s Clayton plaster walls hide damage. Carrier wants moisture documented before we open anything. How does that work?
Document visible conditions and the findings of a suitable moisture assessment. Discuss any proposed inspection openings and the insurer’s requested documentation before proceeding when practicable. If sampling is appropriate, an independent inspector or industrial hygienist collects samples and an independent laboratory analyses them; documentation does not guarantee approval.
“We don’t tell you it’s mold because it looks like mold. We use independent findings, we plan, and we tell you what you don’t need to remediate.”
