The problem
A broken pipe caused water damage throughout several areas of the home, affecting flooring in two bedrooms, two closets, and a bathroom. Water also damaged drywall, requiring affected areas to be opened for cleanup and drying.
Work performed
H&H Environmental protected the access route and extracted water from the affected floors. The team removed damaged wood flooring, baseboards, shoe molding, and wet drywall, along with bathroom fixtures and the vanity where needed for access.
Exposed framing and affected surfaces were cleaned, including HEPA vacuuming and selective antimicrobial treatment in the bathroom. Air movers, dehumidifiers, and wood-floor drying mats were used to dry the affected areas. The team monitored the equipment and removed demolition debris for disposal.

Google review · 7 months ago (as of October 2026)
We had our basement air tested, which detected high levels of mold. Within a week we were able to set up a remedial cleaning of walls and HVAC ductwork. Followed by a coat of Dry Lok sealant. We are pleased with the efficiency and professionalism of the staff and company and would highly recommend their services.

When someone calls us after damage to their home, our first priority is their safety. From there, we work to identify what caused the damage and explain what needs to happen next.
We protect and pack out belongings when needed, storing them in our climate-controlled warehouse while restoration is underway. For water damage, we remove materials that cannot be salvaged and dry the affected areas to help reduce the risk of mold growth.
Throughout the process, we document the damage and our work for the insurance claim. If a homeowner needs additional help navigating that claim, we can connect them with a public adjuster. Our goal is to help people understand the process, protect what matters to them, and move forward with confidence.
