Guides to the work, and to the decisions around it
Three guides so far. Each one answers a question people actually search for, and every figure names the agency that published it.
These are reference pages rather than news. They exist because the questions below get asked in the middle of a problem, and most of the answers online are written to sell something rather than to explain what is actually happening in the building.
-
What to do after water damage, in the order it actually matters
Why the clock that matters is a drying clock, and which early decisions are expensive to reverse.
-
Soot removal, and why the first wipe decides the outcome
Soot is an oily acidic aerosol rather than dirt, which is why water and pressure make it permanent.
-
Signs of water damage in a ceiling, and what each one means
Reading a ceiling: which marks mean the leak is still running, and which mean it stopped.
Reading this because something is wet right now?
The guides can wait. Send the address and what happened, and it goes to a restoration company working in the East Bay.
