Boston Mold Removal Job Due to Water Damage in Rental Property Bathroom

John Adams • September 16, 2016

Mr. King is a realtor in the Boston area and called PowerBees upon finding out that one of his listings for a house in the Boston area was the victim of sabotage by a previous unruly tenant. Mr. King explained that after a long eviction process, which had finally been approved by the state of Massachusetts, the tenant had broken into the property and turned on the bathroom tap and shower to the point where they were overflowing onto the floors.

A Long Road to Recovery from Water Damage

PowerBees assisted Mr. King with reviewing the insurance policy of his client and working with the insurance adjuster for billing purposes as well as assessing the extent of the damage. The licensed Boston mold inspector determined that the water had been standing for several days and, due to the laminate floor present, much of the floors would be characterized as a category 3 loss. A professional Boston mold removal technician from PowerBees came out and extracted the standing water. The company is currently in the process of repairing the extensive damage to the property.
