When water damage occurs the first intent is to take steps to make the structure safe from all hazards. This is where quick response is essential, but not all situations are simple and that is why parties involved should call REST. Having a qualified drying company will prevent future indoor air quality problems, but drying companies are only contractors not environmental specialist and that is why it is important to have REST evaluate the water loss before, during and after the clean-up.
If Called Before A Loss:
Categorizing The Water Damage: The category of the water damage determines if there is the potential for illness. The category also dictates the scope of the project.
Examination For Preexisting Microbial Problems
- Sometimes there might be preexisting mold damage or bacterial growth in the damaged area. Ignoring these conditions can cause it to spread.
Examination For Hazardous Materials
- Often times water damage affects asbestos, lead based paints and poisons in a structure.
Water Damage & Commercial Buildings
Commercial buildings require special attention because of the occupants and visitors. Each person has their own biological makeup, therefore they may or may not be affected by the environment around them. Drying projects are known to create airborne dusts and on those dusts microbial materials may attach themselves.
Environmental Protocol In “Open To Public Buildings” Before Work Starts: An environmental protocol or consultation is critical before work starts. This sets the path for the project to eliminate cross contamination and additional claims.

Batt & Blown Insulation Removal & Vermiculite Insulation Removal
We can remove full batt insulation up to 48 inches of r38 and blown insulation. It’s the fastest and cleanest way to remove insulation. In fact, we own the largest insulation vacuum in Michigan. It can be even be used to clear silos when the contents of the silo go bad.
Reasons for Insulation Removal
- Insulation contains asbestos (Vermiculite / Zonolite)
- Fire damage, smoke, soot
- Water damage from roof leaks, hail, wind driven water
- Animal infestation-Racoons, squirrels, batts, mice
- Old knob and tube insulation present is fire hazard.
- Exposed electrical junctions and boxes without covers under insulation
- Insulation on can lights
- Old insulation not performing that is degraded
- Odor issues
- Mold
- Compromised building envelope air quality
- Remodeling
When wildlife finds its way into a Michigan attic, the damage doesn’t end when the animals leave. Bats roosting in a colony deposit guano continuously — and over a single season, that accumulation can saturate insulation, rot structural wood, and generate airborne fungal spores that migrate into your living space through gaps in the ceiling.
Raccoons establish dedicated latrine spots, leaving behind fecal matter that can harbor roundworm eggs capable of surviving in organic material for years. Squirrels and mice contaminate insulation throughout the entire attic cavity with droppings and urine, while the ammonia from rodent waste soaks into framing and creates persistent odor trails that attract re-infestation long after the animals are gone.
Birds nesting in soffits or vents add acidic droppings that degrade both insulation and structural surfaces, along with pathogens including Salmonella and Cryptococcus. Every species leaves a different kind of mess — and every one of them requires a different treatment approach.
Rest Environmental doesn’t apply a one-size-fits-all cleanup to attic contamination. Our licensed team assesses the specific species involved, the duration of the infestation, and the extent of insulation and structural damage before any work begins.
For bat guano, that means HEPA vacuuming, spore containment, and disposal protocols aligned with Michigan EGLE guidelines. For raccoon and rodent contamination, it means enzyme-based disinfection that neutralizes biological waste and eliminates the scent markers that draw animals back.
For bird-related cleanup, it means treating acidic deposits and applying antimicrobial solutions to every affected surface. In all cases, we establish negative air pressure containment so that disturbed contaminants don’t travel into the occupied areas of your home during the remediation
Removing the contamination is only part of the job. Once the attic is cleared and treated, Rest Environmental restores proper insulation levels to bring your home back to full thermal and air quality performance.
We also evaluate for secondary damage that commonly accompanies wildlife infestations — including moisture intrusion, mold growth on framing and sheathing, and in older Michigan homes, potential disturbance of legacy insulation materials that require specialized handling.
With over 30 years of licensed environmental contracting experience serving Oakland, Wayne, Macomb, and Livingston Counties, we’ve seen every combination of critter damage a Southeast Michigan attic can produce — and we have the protocols to remediate all of it safely and completely.
Basement Waterproofing Prep
After water damage, many contractors want to start waterproofing. However, they need a company like REST to get the area ready. Call today and learn more about basement waterproofing prep services.
Epoxy Flooring Installation
REST Environmental offers many services, but a epoxy flooring service is one of our customer's favorites. In many cases, after a water damage restoration is completed we install epoxy floors as a finishing touch.
