After last night, we went by the house today to discover that the damaged trim in the bedroom, bathroom, and breakfast nook had been torn off and replaced. We were extremely concerned about the potential development of mold as we were uncertain if the sheetrock had dried sufficiently during the previous night without a dehumidifier and only one fan in the master bedroom. After discussing what to do, we called Tom, our builder. We expressed our concern about what steps were taken to remedy the water damage when certain sections of the sheetrock remained wet to the touch. Tom assured us that he would take any necessary steps, short of rebuilding the house completely, to make us feel comfortable. We informed Tom that we had discussed the damage with Jared, who previously worked in the restoration field. Jared came over to the house after talking with John. Jared brought a moisture meter with him. When inserted into the wall, the moisture meter would beep at different frequencies, which reflected the moisture of the wall. Several areas in the master bedroom, master bathroom, and breakfast nook remained extremely moist, even several inches above the trim. Just as Jared was about to leave, Tom showed up with a dehumidifier. Jared showed Tom the areas of concern. After talking with Jared, Tom agreed to pull all of the replacement trim back off and let the area dry for a few days prior to repairing the damage. So the clean-up is on its way.
Below are some pictures of the master bedroom before the replacement trim was pulled off.
The fence company also came today and built our fence.
