At Rainbow Restoration of Southwest Omaha, we’re committed to helping property managers and homeowners alike keep their properties safe, healthy, and comfortable. Recently, we were called by a management company overseeing a home in Omaha, NE where an appliance leak had been fixed, but signs of trouble lingered—a persistent musty odor in the basement. The tenant had growing concerns as the smell seemed to be causing allergic reactions in their child. Although there was no visible mold, the symptoms and smell pointed to a hidden issue that needed immediate attention.
When we arrived, our priority was to locate the source of the mold as efficiently and accurately as possible, especially given the health concerns. After a thorough inspection, we discovered that while the initial leak had been addressed, the basement hadn’t been properly dried out. As a result, mold growth had developed inside the wall cavities and behind the baseboards.
Our team used advanced tools, including a borescope and thermal imaging, to examine hard-to-reach areas without causing unnecessary disruption to the family’s home. The borescope allowed us to see inside the walls and detect mold in spaces not visible to the naked eye, while thermal imaging helped identify moisture levels that revealed the full extent of contamination. This precise approach ensured we could map out exactly where the mold was hiding and develop a targeted plan to remove it without unnecessary demolition.
Throughout the process, we kept the family and property managers informed, explaining each step and addressing their concerns. Mold can be an intimidating issue for families, especially when it impacts the health of children. Our approach prioritized not only thorough mold removal but also the peace of mind of everyone involved.
Once the remediation was complete, the basement was fully restored to a safe and healthy condition, allowing the family to reclaim their space with confidence. For tenants and property managers alike, a safe living environment is essential, and we’re here to help make that possible.
If you’re facing a similar issue or suspect hidden mold in your property, don’t wait to take action. With our expertise and advanced technology, we’ll help you address the problem at its source and create a healthier home for you and your loved ones.
