Customer Problem
The customer faced an unexpected situation involving potential mold issues. During a routine inspection, dark areas were discovered on the framing, indicating possible mold presence.

How Crew Responded
Crew Restoration promptly responded to the customer’s concerns with professionalism and expertise. Despite being delayed by an unexpected meeting, the team prioritized the issue and conducted a thorough review of the affected area. They removed insulation and drywall to assess the extent of the problem. The team treated the dark areas on the framing with an antimicrobial solution to address potential mold. Although the antimicrobial treatment primarily lifts stains, it was an essential step in the process. Crew Restoration communicated clearly with the customer, explaining each step to ensure transparency and build trust.
Solution Provided
To effectively manage the situation, Crew Restoration applied a shellac encapsulant to the treated areas.

They also documented the entire process and provided the customer with a detailed report, enhancing confidence in the work completed.
