Toilet Flooded and Caused Mold in the Basement in Mantoloking, NJ
Challenge
Previously, this homeowner in Mantoloking, NJ, had a bad leak in the toilet in his upstairs bathroom. He thought he caught it in time and there would be no issues, that is until a week later when he noticed that mold was growing in his basement! He immediately called our office and we were sent out to inspect and treat.
We inspected the area and after careful examination, we determined that the drop ceiling tiles and some sections of the drywall needed to be removed. The homeowner agreed and we went to work.
Solution
After removing all the contaminated materials, we treated the area with an antimicrobial solution called MAPS 1. This product attacks mold at its DNA and kills it immediately. We then scrubbed away all the mold stains with our mold stain remover and applied our patented sealant called MAPS 2. MAPS 2 encapsulates the surface mold is growing on and renders it non-allergenic and harmless. One of the best features of MAPS 2 is that it's moisture sensitive and will reactive whenever it gets wet to prevent future mold growth.
