Odor Removal at House in Foley, Alabama

A homeowner in Foley Alabama called us after his rental house had been smoked in by a tenant. He was furious and didn’t know what to do. Even after getting the carpets cleaned and walls painted the house still smelled of strong smoke. 

We requested 5 days to do the job and then got to work! We were able to successfully remove the smell from the house and the landlord was able to rent it out in a timely manner. Both he and the new tenants are happy!

Removing Smoke Odor in Daphne AL

Extraction Pros was thrilled to help out a local real estate agent who was struggling with her listing in Daphne, Alabama. This home had been smoked in for 27 years and the agent was at a loss to fix the problem. 

This agent had done everything right. She had the carpets and ducts cleaned, she called in a deep cleaner to scrub everything – including walls, and she even had the homeowner hire painters to paint the house. Nothing was working! 

Then she called us! 

I went over to evaluate the situation and felt confident that we could help. Within 1 week we had the odor removed! 

Did you know that having a smoke free house can raise your property values up by 34%? I’m happy we could remove the smoke smell and help this agent and homeowner get a higher profit from their sale.

Adding Fiberglass Insulation in Gulf Breeze, Florida

Adding Fiberglass Insulation in Gulf Breeze Florida

Last week a gentleman called me from Gulf Breeze Florida. He was having a terrible time keeping his young son’s bedroom cool. The room was so uncomfortable the son was having issues sleeping and wouldn’t play in the bedroom. 

We inspected the attic and found that there was not enough insulation over this bedroom. The insulation around the knee walls had also fallen. 

Ethan and I fixed the knee walls and added 10 plus inches of insulation over that bedroom. We also added insulation in other areas that were not up to code. 

 

Within 10 minutes of installation the bedroom began cooling down and within an hour it was the coolest it had ever been.

Removing Old Cellulose and Installing New Fiberglass in Elberta, Alabama

We recently helped restore the attic space at an old farm house in Elberta, Alabama. 

This house had a modge podge of cellulose and fiberglass batts that had been added little by little throughout the years. On top of this, the house had also sat vacant for a while and squirrels, possums, and even snakes had gotten in. 

The attic was a mess!  

We started by removing all of the blown in cellulose and fiberglass batts. There was so much compacted insulation that it took our crew 2 days to remove it all.

Once we had everything removed we air sealed, treated the attic spaces, and then reinstalled with brand new loosefill fiberglass. 

Because of the old and settled insulation, this homeowner had experienced extremely high utility bills. Within 1 day of installation her house was cooling easier, the HVAC wasn’t working as hard, and she saw instant savings on her utility bill. 

NO Insulation Over Bedroom in Gulf Shores Townhome

NO Insulation Over Bedroom in Gulf Shores Townhome

On Tuesday we installed 10 plus inches of blown fiberglass insulation to a townhome in Gulf Shores, Alabama. 
 
These townhomes have been suffering from hot bedrooms, high utility bills, and overall difficulty to heat and cool. 
 
We did an inspection and found that they either had little or NO insulation in the back halves of the attics. 
 
The attic spaces are 4 stories up and difficult to reach without a ton of hose. This makes getting into the far back corners almost impossible without the right equipment. Thankfully we have several hundred feet of hose and were able to fully insulate this attic and get it above code. 
 
We’ve done 2 townhomes in this community now and they are both cooling efficiently, no more hot bedrooms, and the owners utility bills are at an all time low

Removing Damaged Fiberglass Batts from Baldwin County Alabama Fire Station 1

Removing Damaged Fiberglass Batts from Baldwin County Alabama Fire Station

At the end of February we completed our first commercial/municipal building located at Fort Morgan Fire Rescue Station 1.

The original insulation at this fire station had been installed incorrectly and it had also been damaged by water leaks in multiple areas. The insulation had been installed directly over the drop ceiling on both floors of the fire station and had not been cut away from any ductwork. The fire station decided to get it fixed for good and to have all of the old insulation removed and replaced with new.

While this job was an extraction, it was very different from the normal extractions we normally do. Most removals are done in attics or crawl spaces. These are places we can squeeze into and put a hose right up into the workspace to suck everything out. You can’t do that with a drop ceiling since they can handle very little weight. Another new side of this job was that we were working directly around furnishings and equipment.

Before starting the extraction our crew covered the station in painters plastic and duct tape to protect everything and ensure as little mess as possible. Then we brought in 2 sets of baker scaffolding and attached the hose right to the lip of this scaffolding. We were able to remove the drop tiles one by one and we used cultivators to pull the insulation out of the ceiling and right into the hose.

Our CoolVac 37 with a 12 inch hose was able to suck each batt up within a matter of seconds. This equipment ensured that the job was done in the fastest time possible – saving the fire station thousands in labor costs. Similar jobs of this size take an average of 4 to 5 days. We were able to complete the job in 7 hours. We also removed and replaced about 40 damaged ceiling tiles.

After the extraction our crew vacuumed and cleaned the station and put all furnishings back into their proper places. Our goal was to leave the station just as clean as we had found it.
