How We Handled a Multi-Floor Leak and Mold Infestation

A homeowner in East Setauket, New York reached out after discovering extensive water damage and visible mold in several areas of their home. What started as a hidden leak had made its way through multiple floors, affecting drywall, insulation, and ceilings.


The damage wasn’t just structural—it was starting to impact the indoor air quality too. That’s when they called K.O.S. Restoration for help.


What We Found

When our team arrived, it was clear moisture had soaked into the sheetrock and insulation, and mold had begun growing inside the walls and ceilings. Unfortunately, this type of damage often goes unnoticed until it becomes a much larger issue. In this case, the homeowner did the right thing by calling in professionals as soon as they noticed signs of trouble.


Our Remediation Process

We began with a full assessment of the damage, identifying all affected areas—including those that weren’t immediately visible. Because mold can easily spread during cleanup, we followed IICRC-certified protocols to safely contain and treat the problem.


Here’s how we approached the job:

Assessment and Moisture Detection
We used professional moisture meters to track how far the water had traveled. This step is critical in stopping the problem at its source.


Containment Setup
To prevent mold spores from spreading through the home, we sealed off contaminated areas using containment barriers and set up filtration equipment to clean the air.


Drying the Structure
We brought in commercial-grade drying equipment to remove moisture from the structure. Drying quickly and thoroughly helps prevent future mold growth.


Vacuuming and Surface Cleaning
Our technicians used HEPA-filtered vacuums to remove mold particles from surfaces and materials. This process is designed to safely eliminate contamination without spreading it.


Enzyme-Based Treatment
We applied a professional enzyme solution to neutralize mold at its source. This step helps ensure a deeper clean and reduces the chances of the mold returning.



Why Fast Mold Remediation Matters

Mold doesn’t wait. It spreads quickly—especially when moisture is trapped behind walls or in ceilings. What seems like a minor leak can become a serious problem for both your home and your health. That’s why calling a certified restoration company is so important.
