A Bathroom Skylight Leak Led to Mold Behind the Drywall
What started with a leaking skylight turned into hidden water damage and mold growth inside this Centereach, NY home.
After the homeowner called K.O.S. Restoration, our team located the source of the moisture and began taking readings to determine how far the water damage had spread.
Once the damaged building materials were removed, mold was discovered behind the drywall—an area that could have remained damp even after the visible signs of the leak disappeared.
Our IICRC-certified team began professional mold remediation, including:
• HEPA vacuuming
• Enzyme treatment
• Detailed hand cleaning of affected surfaces
• Removal of damaged materials
• Professional drying and dehumidification
Drying equipment was installed in multiple areas to address remaining moisture and thoroughly dry the affected spaces.
If you've had a skylight, roof, plumbing, or bathroom leak and you're concerned about moisture or mold hiding behind the walls, we can help.
K.O.S. Restoration has been helping Long Island homeowners with water damage and mold remediation since 2006.
