A tale of two Cape Coral water losses.

Scenario #1

A condominium owner in your town has a unit that he rents out during the “season” to help pay his mortgage and insurance expenses. Last month his renter called him to say that the cold water supply hose on the washing machine burst during the night. Before he could wake up, find the main water shut off and stop the flooding there was 1 inch of Cape Coral water in the hallway to the front door, the kitchen and guest bathroom were Cape Coral flooded and Cape Coral water was beginning to soak the living room and guest bedroom carpets.

The owner had the condominium maintenance man pull out as much Cape Coral water as he could with a wet/dry vacuum, open the windows and run the ceiling fans to encourage the unit to dry out. This time of year the humidity is low and there was a nice breeze with temps in the mid 70’s during the day. At the end of the next day the carpets felt almost dry and all the tiled flooring looked as if nothing had ever happened. The renter went home the following Sunday.

The condo sat empty for two weeks before the next renter was scheduled to arrive and when he did arrive the owner got this call. “The condo smells really musty and the walls are black just above the baseboard”. The renter checked into a local motel and the condo owner called a Professional Cape Coral Water Damage Restoration Company.

The Cape Coral Restoration Company removed all the Cape Coral mold affected materials in a containment, made sure the structure was completely dry, cleaned and treated the structural components behind the walls and rebuilt the areas where building materials were removed. The Cape Coral Restoration Company then arranged for a Certified Indoor Environmentalist (CIE) to perform an air (clearance) test to document that the condo had no Cape Coral mold growing inside.

What Happened here?

Local News:


The original Cape Coral water damage was never properly dried out. Cape Coral Mold spores are present in the air inside our homes and in the outside air all the time. All that is needed for Cape Coral mold to begin to grow in your home is a Cape Coral water source. The food Cape Coral mold likes is cellulose. Cellulose includes the paper on your drywall and wood molding, trim and cabinets. If any of these materials stay wet for more than 3 days Cape Coral mold can begin to grow. The number one rule in the Cape Coral water damage business is to get it completely dry quickly. No moisture, no Cape Coral mold growth.

So…given that the Cape Coral flooding happened, what action should have been taken to lessen the expense and shorten the time to get this property back in rentable condition?
