"I had multiple crews come out to check the extent of the mold damage in my basement and immediately made the decision to hire Clean Care Inc the second I met Dean. His plan for the mold removal was more in depth and thorough thank the representatives from other companies, and it really felt like he had concern for my family’s health.

Odor elimination and Super Sterilization is what we do. To get there, we utilize carpet & upholstery cleaning machines to perform heated extractions with an oxyclean solution. For targeting more difficult stains, we use chemical specific pretreatments to bring your carpet/upholstery back to life! Nicotine stains/odors on your wall? We got you covered there as well! Whether the primary issue is stain removal, general cleanliness, odor removal, or all of the above we have the solution. In many odor related situations, whether auto, home, or office buildings, we can minimize and/or completely remove the odor with a simple ozone shock treatment. Ozone occurs naturally in the environment; for example the fresh smell after a rain storm, and it's specifically used to target airborne and surface level contaminants in which the odor is stored. Smoke B Gone in Glen Allen, Virginia, specializes in odor elimination and permanent odor removal in any type of vehicle, house, apartment, and commercial structure up to 10,000 square feet. Our state of the art ozone machines target undesirable odors and prevents their return. With nearly a decade of experience within the auto industry, I have attempted nearly everything available in today's market to eliminate foul odors AND have them never return. With thousands of products available it didn't take long to realize most of them did actually work; however, only as a short term masking agent. As you may have guessed, the problem is the following day, or week, the odor would always return...until now. After partnering with a leading manufacturer with over 30 years experience, we have architected a solution to restore the highly desired natural scent in our cars, homes, and so forth. Once we discovered this solution, we tweaked and retested our findings, until we could mirror these results across the board, time and time again, within multiple industries.

FAQs for dry rot, water or pest damage major repair projects in Richmond, VA

Look for wood that appears darker than the surrounding materials, feels spongy when pressed, or crumbles easily when touched. Dry rot often creates a distinctive cube-like cracking pattern and may have a musty, fungal odor. In advanced cases, you might notice white or gray fungal growth resembling cotton or mushroom-like structures. 

Regular inspections of basements, crawlspaces, and areas around plumbing fixtures help catch problems early before they cause significant structural damage.

Most standard homeowners' policies exclude dry rot repair coverage because insurers classify it as preventable maintenance rather than sudden, accidental damage. Your policy often covers water damage from specific incidents like burst pipes, but the resulting dry rot remediation often falls outside coverage parameters. Some policies offer limited coverage if the rot directly results from a covered peril, but this varies by insurer. 

Always review your specific policy details and consult with your insurance representative about your particular situation.

The timeline varies considerably based on damage extent and location. Minor repairs to window frames or trim might take only one to two days from start to finish. More substantial structural repairs involving floor joists, support beams, or foundation elements require one to two weeks or longer. 

The process includes assessment, demolition, treatment, reconstruction, and finishing work. Weather conditions, material availability, and the need for specialized contractors all influence the overall timeline for project completion.

Yes, untreated dry rot will continue to spread throughout wooden structures in your home. The fungus can extend through wood and even across some masonry surfaces via fungal strands called mycelium. Under favorable conditions (moisture and moderate temperatures), dry rot can advance rapidly, compromising structural integrity across multiple areas. 

The fungus produces airborne spores that establish new colonies wherever they find suitable conditions, making prompt treatment essential to prevent widespread damage and much costlier repairs.
