When a severe water leak impacted Apt 8D at 251 W 19 St in Manhattan, 24 SERV was called in to manage the drying and demolition process, preparing the apartment for future renovations.
Initial Assessment and Damage Control
Our team quickly assessed the extent of the damage in Apt 8D, noting significant water infiltration throughout the entire apartment. The living room, bedroom ceiling, floors, and bathroom were all severely affected. Immediate action was needed to prevent further damage and ensure the space was ready for renovation.
Demolition and Drying Process
We began by carefully demolishing the entire bathroom, removing all fixtures, tiles, and damaged materials. The demolition extended to the rest of the apartment, including the living room and bedroom ceiling, where we stripped away water-damaged walls, ceilings, and flooring. With everything removed, our team set up advanced drying equipment, including high-powered fans and dehumidifiers, to thoroughly dry out the entire space. This meticulous process ensured that all moisture was eliminated, preventing mold growth and leaving the apartment completely dry and ready for the next phase of renovation.
Final Inspection and Preparation for Renovation
After the drying process was completed, we conducted a final inspection to confirm that every part of Apt 8D was free of moisture and properly prepared for renovation. Although 24 SERV did not handle the renovation itself, we ensured that the apartment was in pristine condition and ready for the renovation team to begin their work.
At 24 SERV, we take on jobs of all sizes, from drying and demolition to complete renovations, ensuring that every property is fully restored and ready for the next steps.
