Project Overview
A homeowner in Manorville, NY contacted Zavza Seal to address widespread damage affecting the walls and flooring in nearly every area of the home, excluding the living room. The total project area included approximately 1,500 square feet of wall surface and 850 square feet of flooring. The damage was compromising both the comfort and structural integrity of the space, requiring a full interior restoration.
The Problem
The residence had experienced significant interior damage due to moisture and wear over time. Key concerns included:
- Warped or damaged wooden wall boards
- Failing insulation and drywall
- Floorboard damage and deterioration of substrate plywood
- Outdated or compromised vapor barrier systems
- Lack of waterproofing in both kitchen and bathroom flooring areas
Without intervention, these issues would continue to affect indoor air quality, increase the risk of mold growth, and reduce the value of the home.
Our Solution
The Zavza Seal team provided a comprehensive interior restoration solution designed to restore structural integrity, thermal efficiency, and aesthetic appeal.
