Here is a project that is going to have many steps towards completion.
This customer came to us having problems with other contractors that did work in the house and contaminated the entire house with lead and asbestos!
Our first step was to do testing throughout the house to find out which rooms were contaminated and which weren’t. Once we knew what rooms needed work, we abated the entire house of lead and asbestos. It required removing all personal property that also had to be inspected, s tested and cleaned.
Now the next step will be the rebuild process. Many more pictures to come. You can see the sheer scope of this project in the images below.

With BRUTAL temperatures today and expected over the coming weekend (single digits!), here are some very valuable tips to keep your home safe:

If you've prepped your house for the winter weather, you're ahead of the game. When the temperature actually drops, here are a few more steps to take.

Inside the house:
-Keep your house heated to a minimum of 65 degrees. The temperature inside the walls where the pipes are located is substantially colder than the walls themselves. A temperature lower than 65 degrees might not keep the inside walls from freezing.
-Check the location for the main water shutoff in your home. And refresh your memory on—or learn—how it works, in case you have to use it.
-Double check that any water lines that run outside (such as a hose bib or sprinkler system) is shut off INSIDE the home. Most plumbing the runs outdoors has a shut off valve INSIDE the home for this reason.
-Open hot and cold faucets enough to let them drip slowly. In severely frigid temperatures, keeping water moving within the pipes will help prevent freezing.
-Check that fireplaces, wood stoves and electric heaters are working properly. Make sure there are no combustible items near the heat sources and watch them closely, especially the first time in the season you use them.
-Keep your fireplace flue closed when you’re not using it.
-Ask a neighbor to check the house regularly any time you're away. If pipes freeze or if there's a water leak, quick action could mean far less damage. If you plan to be away for an extended period of time, have the water system—including swimming pool plumbing, if applicable—drained by a professional to keep pipes from freezing or bursting.

In the event of a problem
Sometimes the unfortunate happens—but quick action can minimize the damage. And if you have a standard homeowners insurance policy, it’s likely you're covered for most deep freeze disasters.
Don't wait for frozen pipes to burst. If your pipes are frozen, take measures to thaw them immediately, or call a plumber for assistance.
If your pipes burst, first turn off the water. You know now where the main water shut off is, right? Cut off the flow, then attend to the mess and …
Properly dry and repair any water damage. This will help prevent any potential problems with mold.
Call your insurance professional as soon as possible. He or she will help you understand what's covered by your policy. And familiarize yourself with the claims filing process.

And if any damages DO occur, please call us. We can Build It Back Better! 860-571-1240
