Problem: A realtor reached out to us regarding a house of their clients that had serious mold issues in their basement. Our team was dispatched to remedy the situation!

Solution: Our team went to work to perform mold remediation throughout the basement. Our team began by containing the area using negative air so that nothing that can get outside the containment area. This is how we ensure the home AND the customer stay safe. We then had to demo the shelves and insulation that were covered in mold. Vacuumed the area and then fogged with an anti-microbial solution. The home is now mold free and the customer extremely pleased. 

Location: Inver Grove Heights, MN 55706

Problem: This Inver Grove Heights Customer didn't realize the extent of their mold problem. They knew they had some mold in their kitchen, but it wasn't until we pulled out their cabinets that we realized how extensive the damage was from their Leaking Fridge. We were originally called in to deal with surface mold that had been detected.

Solution: Once we pulled out the fridge we knew we had to removed the cabinets as well. We contained the area and pulled out the cabinet and cleaned out all the mold that was in the walls. Now it is ready for some fresh drywall and a coat of paint to make it good as new!

Problem: A property management company needed a service provider to perform indoor air quality testing in apartment complexes. Tenant air quality complaints become big concerns for property manager. Air testing can either squelch the complaint or validate it, which lets the the property manager know they have remediation or corrective steps to take. Air duct cleaning needed to be performed due to tons of mold and debris stuck in the air duct system.

Solution: Lightspeed Restoration provided next day air testing and offered air duct cleaning at a discount rate. This was apart of a multi-layered apartment partnership plan that included dryer vent and air duct/coil cleaning periodically for all tenants. In picture provided, you can see how much mold was found in the apartment. This location was going through major renovations and the property manager was able to use this information against the contractor because the cleaning and HVAC work wasn't up to par with health standards. Air duct cleaning is a crucial part of healthy indoor air quality. We performed air duct cleaning and mold removal for this local apartment complex and the tenants and property management company was very pleased.

Problem: This clinic had a drain pipe rupture from the unit above. Sewage spilled into the clinic by the utility room, laundry room and staff break room. The carpet outside these rooms was contaminated and the walls were wet.

Solution: The customer did not want to remove the carpet so we cleaned it with steam and a professional cleaning solution. We opened up the walls to sanitize them completely and to remove the wet insulation. When we started, there was a distinct odor of urine. Once our mitigation and drying efforts were completed, the odor was gone and the structure was clean and dry.
