Mold Discovered One Week After Move-In
The situation
Moving your child into their first college home is a big milestone — it should be a time of excitement and new beginnings. For this UConn family, that excitement turned into a nightmare just one week after move-in day.
Students moved their belongings in only seven days before these photos were taken. A previous water leak had never been cleaned up properly. With fall humidity rising, moisture levels inside the home climbed too high — and mold began spreading fast across shelving, ceiling panels, and bedroom furniture.
The landlord refused responsibility, telling the tenant the mold "was not there before she moved in." The family called us. We documented the full extent of the damage, performed air quality testing, and completed remediation — giving them the clean home and the written proof they needed.

“My landlord says this is not their problem. They told my daughter the mold was not there before she moved in.”
This is not the tenant’s responsibility. Every child deserves to come home to a healthy space.
Root cause
Previous water leak never properly dried or treated by the property owner
Affected areas
Built-in shelving, ceiling panels, and bedroom furniture surfaces
Our response
Air quality testing, full mold remediation, written documentation provided to tenant

Why Mopping Up Is Not Enough
The situation
A family in Griswold faced a late-night disaster when a toilet overflowed and ran for hours. They woke up to water throughout their second floor, first floor, and even the garage.
They did exactly what most people would do — they mopped up the puddles and removed all the standing water they could find. A week later, they noticed a strange smell and saw the first signs of mold.
Water travels deep into the structure of a home. It takes specialized tools to find moisture trapped inside walls and under floors. We spent two hours just locating the hidden wet spots that were already fueling mold growth. Addressing water damage the right way is the only way to protect the health of your home and your family.

“They mopped up the water and thought the problem was solved. A week later, the mold told a different story.”
Standing water is only part of the problem. Hidden moisture inside walls and floors requires professional detection and treatment.
Root cause
Toilet overflow ran for hours overnight, saturating two floors and the garage
Affected areas
Second floor, first floor, and garage — with moisture trapped deep inside walls and subfloors
Our response
Two hours of moisture mapping with specialized tools, followed by full drying and mold remediation
Cleaned up a flood but still notice a smell?
Hidden moisture is impossible to find without the right equipment. Call us before mold takes hold.
The High Cost of Insurance Delays
The situation
A homeowner in Ellington noticed a small spot on their ceiling and worried it might be mold. When we evaluated the home, we found a leaking toilet wax ring directly above it. The bathroom floor and the ceiling below were already wet and actively growing mold.
After filing a claim, the insurance company delayed the process for weeks. While the provider stalled, the mold continued to spread inside the home. This is a common tactic used to wear down homeowners in the hope they will accept a low-ball settlement.
You should not have to live in fear of your home making you sick while waiting for help. We provided the documentation, support, and remediation this family needed to move their claim forward and restore their home to a healthy condition.
