Great that you are doing videos on how to clean up after these storms. You project the professionalism that is needed for so many people. God bless you.
Don't see many a basement in Texas. Also, thanks for volunteering Churches nipping the mold in the bud.
3:00 omg I have that Dremel! It's an awesome tool for DIYers, I've used it for everything from grout removal, to sanding tiles before reattaching, to cutting steel bolts!
Matt Great job on the video instruction on flood clean up. Thanks for being available to help down there
Matt, thanks for the excellent advice,
I live here in Houston as was lucky enough to not be flooded our of my house or lose power. I am also an Insurance Adjuster and I can't tell you the number of times that I've been into someones house after a water leak (roof or plumbing) and their first thought is to crank down the A/C with the idea that will pull the moisture out.....that is completely wrong....the purpose of a Dehumidifier is to create heat to draw the moisture out and then have it condense in the unit so it can be pumped to the outside or a drain so it goes away from the dwelling. The industry norm is 3 air movers and 1 Dehu per normal sized room for about 3 day of 24 hour operation, after the water damaged materials (furniture, carpet/padding and drywall/insulation) which is followed up by an anti-microbial treatment. I've spent the last 3 days pulling out carpet and drywall from an untold number of houses and it's nasty work but it will hopefully make someones life easier in the long run. Thanks for the great tutorial video and I hope that others pay attention because the the next time something like this happens you might just be the person in need of help for others.
We all need to pay it forward.
another great vid Matt! this is required knowledge right here. keep up the great work !
Great video and tips. Thanks.
Another tip to add:
An Ozone Generator is also a good idea to help control mold growth and to clean up. Hospitals use them to sterilize operating rooms and lots of Mold remediation companies use them too.
My understanding is that Ozone is stronger than bleach... You make it by exposing Oxygen to high voltage... which turns it into Plasma (one state above a gas)... When the Plasma returns to a gas, it turns into Ozone. Ozone has a short half life. So you just set the timer for say 60min... Leave the house and come back 30min after it goes off.
I advised my friends/family in Houston to get Ozone generators on Amazon to keep mold under control in their houses until they get new flooring. (Fortunately their homes only flooded a few inches above the floor.)
Just got back from Friendswood. One of the houses we worked on had 7' of water! Demo'ed the first floor to the studs, ceiling included. The electric entrance panel including the meter were completely submerged...power never went out!! At my place if it sprinkles the power goes out, go figure.
My house has flooded in the last 2 years over 2' of water... trust me you want a shop vac, get the big rigid with the extra long two section hose and wet pickup attachment. Also buy the wet/dry hepa filter they sell made from tyvek, keeps your vac from burning up or spraying spores everywhere. Buy a stack of bags for the vac and a post filter diffuser. With the internal hepa canister, the foam diffuser and running a bag,you have a very clean exit stream from the vac even when sucking up horrible nasty stuff. Also, buy odoban rather than bleach for post cleanup spraying. Is antimicrobial,antibacterial,antiviral and neutralizes foul odors. I sprayed my raw slab several times over a few weeks and soaked the studs several times. Get at least 2 large dehumidifiers and a lot of box fans...air movement is your friend. I have been running 3 large dehumidifiers in my 1800sqft home to dry it out throughly, along with about 9 fans.
Another great video. God Bless.
these videos are great!! What information do you have regarding replacment of the old damaged gyp board?
Hi Matt,
Here in Katy, Tx and we go flooded, I’ve noticed that after the flood even the sheet rock upstairs is even damp and swollen from the moisture in the house. I worked for Trane HVAC for 10 years as a engineer and know,it’s important to get the AC running for drying out the house. That was the first thing we did, we then removed the dry wall at least a foot above the water line. My question is putting back up dry wall is that the 1/4 inch isn’t matching some of the swollen drywall above, even the drywall upstairs is thicker and that is 10 ft. Above the water line. Have you encountered this?
Are you bringing portable generators too?
Don't forget to turn off electricity first, especially if flood line is north of 2 feet (outlets)!
Hi Matt, curious question, at 5.54 i see that the exterior wall has the sheathing damaged on the bottom, how would you go to fix that without tearing the outer brick?
The black felt between the walls can we leave it ?
Unless the house does not have a FEMA Flood Policy, you should not try to save those cabinets as demonstrated.
Regardless what the constructed materials are, those cabinets are forever damaged. If you do have a flood policy and your carrier wants to keep the cabinets that have been submerged in toxic black water, I highly suggest you seek out the advice of a reputable Public Adjuster for help!!
that's right, those cabinets must go to, coz later on that kind of soft wood will rotten deteriorate, I saw it in my cabinets under the sink got watered on and later on I noticed got deteriorated and then holes on in, so I have to remove it myself and put hardibacker and tiled it. yes much better than those kind of wood for cabinets.
