Do you still write for Dave Lizewski? I loved what you've written for him so far!
FUCK yes I do. Listen there's a lot I could say about Dave, but one thing that is NEVER addressed is how deeply rooted and repressed his mommy issues are. I'm sorry, your mom dies in front of you and you're just... not affected by it??? bullshit!!!!!!! Dave CRAVES a soft gentle touch, a divine feminine aura. Even if you're not a girl, if you just take care of him gently and look at him with a soft fondness he will fold SO fast. and yes having a nice rack (while not necessary) will help with this a lot. and by a nice rack I mean literally just having anything on your chest. flat tits, huge tits, lopsided tits, fake tits, real tits, literally ANYTHING. even if your tits are practically nonexistent he WILL still be trying to grope and suck on them. and he WILL succeed. nothing in this world can stop this boy from drooling over you.
after a particularly long night full of stopping some muggers, making sure the town drunk doesn't fight anyone, and helping some college girls get home safe, he shows up at your place, a little bumped and bruised but not majorly injured. you greet him with this soft, understanding smile and bring him up to your bathroom. It's all clean and soapy and smells like you, and he immediately starts to relax. you help him take off his suit and he tries not to get hard from the feeling of your warm hands getting him out of his suit and exposing his skin to the cool air. you start inspecting him to see how bad he's hurt - because of all his nerve damage he doesn't always notice how bad his injuries are.
you smooth his hair and praise him, listen to him talk about his night patrolling the neighborhood. worry flashes across across your face as you see the scratches all over his face and arms.
"Oh, uh, Mrs. Landsberg's cat got stuck..." He trails off sheepishly while you smile and put disinfectant on his nicks and scrapes.
"Look at you, helping little old ladies and rescuing cats from trees." you coo playfully.
"Well, she got stuck in the attic crawl space, but..." he shrugs with another blush, feeling all proud and sheepish from your praise.
"Close enough."
you press a kiss to his nose.
"now all you need is a job at the daily planet."
Dave was so sore and tired after tonight that he felt like he'd need days to recover. but after 10 minutes with you, you already have him laughing and feeling like himself again. Dave doesn't know what he did to luck out and have you in his life, but he thinks about you all the time. If he's not physically with you (or texting you or calling you or snapping you or lurking on your social media accounts or reading through your old texts or looking through the folder of pictures and videos he has of you saved in his phone or-) he's thinking about you all the time. he even dreams about you every night. no matter how much time he spends with you, he always wants more. Dave is definitely in the sex isn't enough I need to crawl inside your skin club.

Ant Problem
I really thought it was a dog. I swear. I swear I didn’t know.
How could I? Vi never told me anything. She just expected people to know.
Walking into Grandma Vi’s house was like walking into a halloween haunted maze made out of ant traps. Flypaper hung from the ceiling and walls like streamers. The floor was littered in dusty plastic traps, and empty and half-full boxes of borax and liquid ant killer were stacked along the walls. The smell of the place was strange and cloying. Soap and poison. 
I never liked being there. She made me uncomfortable, even as a kid, when her paranoia wasn’t her defining trait just yet. 
She was a neat freak back then. Her rules were foreign to me, but not as foreign as the genuine outrage she expressed when those rules were broken. I didn’t even know what a coaster was, why was I being snapped at for putting my water cup down? You’re not sleeping in the attic bed, why are you so pissed at me for leaving it un-made? Don’t get mad at me for not drying the entire shower after I’ve used it– I didn’t even know anybody did that.
Grandma Vi would never tell you what weird unusual protocols she expected you to follow, she’d just fly off the handle when you didn’t do it, and that’s how you’d find out that it was disrespectful to wear a hat indoors or not offer to wash the dishes as a guest. She’d turn up her sharp jaw and suck her thin teeth and scowl endlessly.
I could honestly say that I missed that version of her. 
Compared to this Grandma Vi, that one was a delight. 
This Grandma Vi collected dirty paper dishes in her room. She stacked them high. She sprayed them with bleach. She refused to let me wash them– the sink drains were all clogged in the house now, stuffed with paper towels and borax. 
“Ants could get in through there,” she explained. 
When I brought Grandma Vi her groceries, they had to undergo a period of “disinfecting,” in which they were double-bagged in black trash bags and sealed for two days. This, Vi reasoned, would suffocate any insects that might be passengers inside the lettuce or the cornflake boxes. 
No sugar, obviously. Ants loved sugar. 
I tried not to eat in front of Vi. The day I spent as her full-time caretaker, I unwrapped an egg sandwich in front of her and it sent her into a panic attack.
“You’re dropping crumbs all over the floor!” she screamed.
I wasn’t. And even if I was, it’s not like the floor could get any dirtier. Vi would not let me vacuum because I did it wrong. Vi didn’t vacuum either– she couldn’t. Just walking around the house left her fatigued. Her hair had always been long and thick, but it was so hard for her to care for now that she’d had it shaved near to the scalp. She’d struggle to lift anything heavier than a spoon. 
I reminded myself of that daily. Grandma Vi was a sick, dying old woman. She was in pain. She was used to independence and solitude. This was the worst she’d ever felt and the most disempowered she had ever been. 
And, importantly, my dad was paying me to do this. Because someone had to. 
So I tried not to hate her guts. And I ate my meals outside, on the picnic table in what used to be her garden, even in the winter. I refrained from cleaning without her permission. I never, ever, ever used the front door. 
The front door could let in ants.
The ant obsession– I never found out where that came from. My dad just shrugged it off as one more drop in a giant bucket of assorted mental illnesses. 
“She’s been getting worse ever since Grandpa Joe passed,” dad said to me over the phone while I called him, crying in my car one day. Vi’s husband had been gone since before I was born. If there was a tolerable version of her, I never met it. “Grandma Vi relied on him. When your mom was growing up, Vi was actually a very quiet, mellow person. She was never… nice. But she felt safe. She had security. She didn’t feel like she had to go on the attack all the time.”
I hated imagining my mom as a child in this horrible house. 
“Your Grandpa Joe was a nice person,” dad said. “Not like her at all. I believe that missing him is a big part of what made her crazy.”
I didn’t argue with him, but I didn’t think he was right. Because in Grandma Vi’s halloween haunted house of traps and poison, every single photo of Grandpa Joe– a tall, dark, handsome man with a very kind smile– had been turned backwards to face the wall. 
The first month I was there was quiet. Then the scratching started. 
It sounded like a raccoon climbing around on the roof and walls. Every time I thought it was done, it started up again. It was the deep of night, and I couldn’t sleep. I slipped out of the attic bed where Vi still expected me to sleep and climbed the ladder down to the main floor. There was a porch light outside. I hoped it would scare away any animals. 
But as I started unlocking the back door, a sharp, cold hand grabbed my arm. I jumped. Vi was there, her dark eyes wide, her wrinkled face pulled tightly into a mask of pure terror. 
“Don’t open the door,” she hissed.
“I’m just turning the light on,” I said. I unlatched the door.
Vi screamed, and I felt a sudden hot pain across my face. I put my fingers to my cheek and felt blood. Vi had scratched me. I swore, and she re-latched the door. I ran to the bathroom to wash my new cuts out in the clogged sink. 
When I found Vi again, she was in bed. She wasn’t sleeping, though. And she definitely wasn’t sorry. 
“If you attack me again, I’m leaving,” I said to her. 
“You oughtta be grateful,” Vi said. “You don’t even know what you almost did, stupid.”
I refrained from calling her the names I was thinking of calling her in my head. I swallowed those teeth and asked,
“What did I almost do?”
Vi laughed. 
“You were just gonna let in those ants.”
In Vi’s house, I was never to leave the house at night. I was never to open the back door at night. I was never to open the front door at all. I was never, under any circumstances, to let anyone else inside the house. 
The scratching would come every few nights. Once it started, Vi finally started asking me to fix things around the house. She didn’t let me clean, but she did make me go up on the roof and look for holes. Nests. Anywhere ants could be living or trying to get in. And for once, to her credit, I did find some damage. It looked like termites, maybe. I sprayed bug killer and sealed up the chewed spots.
One day, Vi screamed at the top of her lungs in the middle of the night. I ran into her room to find her frantically springing from her bed. She collapsed into a dresser and knocked over the stack of paper plates she kept there, sanitized with bleach. She was staring at the window with pure horror. I didn’t see anything out there. She wouldn’t tell me what she saw. She only wept and shook and cried Joe’s name over and over. The next day she had me cover that window with cardboard and plastic and seal it. And then I had to re-seal it, because she saw a microscopic space that no one else would notice. Big enough for a potential ant to get in.
“You never met your Grandpa Joe,” Vi said to me out of the blue one day. Her room was lightless and stuffy, and she had spent her recent days sitting in bed and doing nothing but listen to audiobooks on an old cd player. “You never saw him.”
“I heard he was nice,” I said. 
“He’s dead,” she said. “He’s never coming back.”
“My dad says he’s with us in spirit,” I said. “He says he can feel him sometimes, loving us.”
“Listen, you moronic little girl. He’s dead. He’s not with us. So if you ever see him around, you better tell me. And you better keep the doors locked.”
I was taken aback.
“Have you seen him?” I asked.
“No. But the ants have. They’ve seen him and they know what he looks like. And I’ve seen the ants.”
Vi would deteriorate a little bit at a time, and then a lot at once. When I started, I wondered if we’d develop some sort of closeness over time. That was a very silly idea. The more Vi needed me, the less she could stand me. She would snip at me and scream at me. The first time she needed my help in the bathroom, I was punished for helping her with a long string of insults and criticism which, at this point, I had learned to tune out. 
I brought her a bowl of corn flakes in a paper plate in bed. She commanded me to spray her stacks of paper plates with bleach while she ate. 
“I don’t think that’s safe,” I said. She shot me a dagger glare.
“You want ants in here?” she said. 
“I just think this is an unventilated room and it’s not safe to spray bleach all over everything.”
Vi responded to this by throwing her bowl of corn flakes at me. Cereal splashed all over the floor. Milk soaked into my sweater and my hair.
“That’s it,” I said. 
I took my wet sweater off. I changed pants. I took the vacuum cleaner out of its dusty closet. 
Vi screamed and screamed at me as I cleaned up the mess. I took all of the paper plates and put them in garbage bags. I took down the flypaper. I threw the empty borax boxes in the dumpster. 
Vi couldn’t do anything but sob while I took over the house. When I got thirsty, I set my cup down on the table without a coaster. 
I was worried the neighbors were going to call the cops with all the yelling and crying going on, but no one did. Once, I looked out the window and saw a dark man in dark clothes standing on the sidewalk across from the house. I couldn’t see his eyes under his cap, but I thought he was looking at me. There was something familiar and disturbing about him which I couldn’t place. And then he was just gone. I looked away for a second and he had disappeared.
The sun went down. I came into Vi’s room with her dinner and her pills.
“You hate me,” she glared. “You really, really hate me. I must deserve it.”
“Vi, I cleaned your house.”
“You’re gonna let in those ants.”
“If ants get in, we’ll just stomp them. Listen, I’m not gonna live here and help you if I can’t live in this house.”
“Then you better let me die.” She scowled at me. I rolled my eyes. 
There was a scratching sound at the front door. Vi jumped and pulled the blanket up like a child afraid of the dark.
I stood up to go see the source of the noise.
“Get back here!” Vi shouted. “I’m just seeing what it is,” I said.
“You stupid bitch! Get back here!” Vi screamed louder as I walked up the hall to the front door. The scratches sounded heavy, huge. Not like a raccoon at all, but something bigger. For a second, I had a sudden, irrational thought– it was that man I saw before. It was that tall man with the cap. And when I opened the door, I thought, I would see him standing there, his uncannily and unplaceably familiar face grinning at me. And his teeth would be black, and his eyes dark and gleaming. I got scared. My fingers stopped on the latch. 
I flipped on the front porch light.
I peeked through the hole.
Of course there was no man. It was a dog.
A big black lab. He had a collar around his neck. He scratched the door again, tail wagging.
I hadn’t seen this dog around the neighborhood before, but to be fair, I hadn’t been able to get out very much in the past few months. It could very well be a neighbor dog. He was big, but he looked skinny. His dark coat shined slick in the porch light. 
I unlocked the front door. The dog looked at me through the screen, its glittering dark eyes docile. 
“Hi,” I said to the dog. The dog wagged its tail slowly. “Are you lost?”
The dog didn’t whine or bark, but only pawed at the door again.
Vi would never, in a million billion years, let me help this dog. But Vi wasn’t in charge anymore. So I opened the door.
I only meant to step outside and check his collar. But the moment the door was open, the big black dog strode into the house. 
Not a labrador, I realized. Maybe some kind of great pyrenees mix. It was big. Huge, even. It crossed the threshold and I swore it seemed to grow.
Not a pyrenees. A dane.
As the dog brushed past me, I reached my hand down to pet his dark coat.
My fingers passed through something grainy, crunchy, and moving. Something which slithered in rivers around my fingers, millions of tiny legs–chitinous, feathery, pinching.
Not a dane.
Not a dog.
The creature didn’t move right as it lurched down the hall. The legs bent wrong. The body writhed. It moved quickly, with purpose. 
I was too shocked to move. The dog-thing swelled up into an enormous, amorphous mass, and flooded into Grandma Vi’s bedroom, where she was already screaming.
I ran to her. I did hate her, but I ran to her. Maybe I meant to help her. Maybe I just wanted to see.
Either way, by the time I got there, there was nearly nothing left of Grandma Vi but a thrashing corpse. 
I couldn’t tell when the wild flailing stopped being her death throes and started being purely the erratic undulations and tossings and turnings of millions of tiny black ants, moving her bones. 
They crawled all over the floor. They crawled all over the ceiling. They crawled over my arms and legs. Not biting, just moving over me on their way to and from her.
I turned and fled the house.
The ants didn’t follow me. They were far too engrossed in dismantling their quarry.
I really didn’t know. How could I? Vi never told me.
She expected me to just know.

Inside out: The bat.
(It was a slow day at the headquarters).
Fear: I think I'm gonna clean the attic.
Joy: Okay...
(Fear goes into the attic and was about to start cleaning when he suddenly saw something in the back ceiling corner).
Fear: What's that in the corner?
(Fear grabs a broom and pokes the thing in the corner, which turned out to be a bat).
Fear: Ah, a bat!
(The bat starts flying around, and Fear runs out of the attic).
Fear: Guys, there's a bat in headquarters!
Joy: What?
(The bat flies out of the attic and starts flying around the console room).
Anxiety: Oh, God!
(Anxiety ducks to avoid the bat flying into her).
Anger: Why did you bring the bat down here instead of closing the attic door!?
Fear: I panicked, I'm sorry!
(Envy enters the rooms to see what the commotion is all about).
Envy: What's going on in here?
(The bat comes out of nowhere and bites Envy).
Envy: Ow, it bit me!
The other emotions: Envy!
(Fear rushes over to tend to Envy's wound).
Fear: I'm so sorry, this is all my fault!
(Fear rubs disinfectant cream on Envy's hand).
Anger: That's it!
(Anger grabs the broom and manages to shoo the bat out of an open window).
Anger: And stay out!
(Anger quickly shuts the window).
Sadness: Are you okay, Envy?
Envy: I think so. It didn't really hurt.
Fear: Well, we should still check for rabies.
(Envy is taken to the hospital to be checked for rabies. It then cuts to the bat in the woods).
Bat: At least I got one of them...
(The end).

The Nightmare in the Attic: Cleaning Up a Pigeon Infestation
A Noisy Warning Sign
It started with innocent rustling sounds, mistaken for the wind. But soon, the noises escalated—scratching, fluttering, cooing, and occasional thuds.
Then came the smell. A strong ammonia-like odor spread through the house, seeping through vents. The homeowners tried air fresheners, deep cleaning, even sealing off rooms—nothing worked.
That’s when they called God Crew. From their description alone, we knew what we were dealing with—a full-blown pigeon infestation.
Discovery: A Hidden Health Hazard
The stench in the attic was unbearable, even with respirators.
Layers of pigeon droppings covered the wooden beams, hardened over time.
Insulation was soaked in urine, turning into a bacteria-infested sludge.
Nests filled every corner, holding abandoned eggs, feathers, and mites.
The air was contaminated with Histoplasma capsulatum, a fungus that causes severe lung infections.
This was more than just cleaning—it was hazardous waste removal.
The Filthy Cleanup Process
Dealing with this infestation required extreme caution to avoid exposure to airborne pathogens.
Step 1: Protective Gear & Containment
Before stepping inside, we suited up in full hazmat suits, goggles, and industrial respirators. Pigeon feces contain over 60 known diseases, making protection essential.
To prevent contamination, we sealed off the attic with plastic sheeting, ensuring the rest of the house remained unaffected.
Step 2: Dry Debris Removal
Used HEPA vacuums to suck up loose debris, feathers, and dried feces.
Avoided excessive movement to prevent airborne contamination.
Scraped off hardened droppings using industrial scrapers and enzyme degreasers.
The stench of stale ammonia and rotting organic matter was overwhelming.
Step 3: Deep Disinfection & Decontamination
After waste removal, we began the sanitization process:
Applied enzyme-based cleaners to break down organic residue.
Used antimicrobial fogging treatments to disinfect air and surfaces.
Removed all contaminated insulation—a breeding ground for bacteria.
Sanitized every surface with hospital-grade disinfectants.
Final Touch: Prevention and Restoration
Cleaning up was just one part of the job—keeping pigeons out was the next challenge.
Installed metal mesh over attic vents to block entry points.
Sealed cracks and holes to eliminate access.
Placed spike strips along roof edges to deter future roosting.
Advised homeowners to monitor roof damage to prevent reinfestation.
After 12+ grueling hours, the attic was finally safe and livable again.
The Aftermath: A Safe Home Once More
The homeowners were relieved and amazed at the transformation. They had endured months of discomfort, unknowingly living beneath a severe health hazard. Now, their home was restored to a clean, breathable space.
For us, it was just another day in the intense world of biohazard cleaning.
Why Choose God Crew ?
✔ Biohazard & trauma scene cleanup ✔ Blood cleanup ✔ Hoarding & extreme cleaning ✔ Vehicle decontamination ✔ Junk removal & deep sanitation ✔ Pest-related biohazard cleanup
📍 Serving Toronto, Guelph, Cambridge, Hamilton & nearby areas ⏰ Available 24/7 for emergency cleanup
🔹 Some messes are too dangerous to handle alone—God Crew is here to restore safety and peace of mind. Contact us today!

Why Rodent Control Inc. Is LA’s Most Reliable Rodent Removal Team in 2025

Rodents. Just hearing the word is enough to make most people cringe.

It’s this kind of engagement that sets them apart. They’re not just fixing problems—they’re building solutions that make all of Los Angeles cleaner and safer.
A Future-Ready Approach to Pest Control

Emergency Mold Cleanup: What Houston Residents Should Know About Mold Abatement
Fast Action for Safer Homes
In Houston, dealing with mold isn’t a matter of if—it’s when. Thanks to the city’s tropical climate, high humidity, and regular storm activity, moisture problems are a recurring issue in homes and buildings throughout the region.
All it takes is a small leak or a few inches of floodwater for mold to start growing, often within 24 to 48 hours. When this happens, emergency mold cleanup becomes essential. Delaying treatment only makes the problem worse, spreading spores and increasing health risks.
When done properly, emergency cleanup is only part of the solution. Long-term protection also requires mold abatement, which involves targeted steps to prevent mold from returning after it’s removed. Together, these services restore your home and peace of mind.
If you’re facing water damage or suspect mold in your home, this guide explains what to do, why it matters, and how Mold Rescue Houston can help—fast.
Why Mold Is Dangerous in Houston Homes
Mold and Your Health
Mold affects more than just your home—it can have serious consequences for your health. Once spores become airborne, they circulate through your HVAC system and settle in every room.
Common health effects include:
Coughing, wheezing, or sinus congestion
Eye irritation or skin rashes
Headaches and fatigue
Worsening asthma or allergies
Increased respiratory problems in children and seniors
The longer the mold is left untreated, the greater the exposure—and the higher the risk.
Mold and Property Damage
In addition to health issues, mold causes real and costly structural damage:
Drywall becomes soft, stained, and unstable
Wood framing may rot and weaken
HVAC systems get clogged and contaminated
Flooring can warp or detach
Insulation becomes damp and useless
In flood-prone areas of Houston, like Meyerland, Spring, and Bellaire, mold damage is all too common. Without fast intervention, you may face extensive repairs and replacement costs.
What Emergency Mold Cleanup Really Means
Not Just Cleaning—True Remediation
Emergency mold cleanup is more than wiping away visible mold. It’s a comprehensive, urgent response to stop mold in its tracks, remove contamination, and restore your indoor environment safely.
Step-by-Step Emergency Cleanup Process:
Immediate Response & Inspection Trained technicians arrive within hours to assess damage and identify moisture sources.
Containment Setup Affected areas are sealed using physical barriers and negative air pressure to prevent mold spread.
Air Filtration HEPA filters scrub the air of mold spores during and after the cleanup process.
Mold Removal Contaminated materials like drywall, carpet, and insulation are removed and safely disposed of.
Disinfection Remaining surfaces are cleaned with EPA-approved antimicrobials to kill residual spores.
Drying & Dehumidification Industrial-grade equipment removes moisture from the air and building materials.
Post-Treatment Testing (if needed) Optional air testing ensures mold levels are within safe limits before clearance.
Misconceptions to Avoid:
“Bleach gets rid of mold.” Bleach may kill surface mold, but it doesn’t penetrate porous materials or eliminate airborne spores.
“If I don’t see mold, it’s not there.” Mold often hides behind walls, in crawl spaces, and inside HVAC systems.
“It’ll go away once things dry out.” Mold can survive dry conditions and remain dormant until moisture returns.
When You Need Mold Help
Warning Signs of a Mold Problem
Don’t wait for serious symptoms or visible damage. Schedule emergency mold cleanup if you notice:
Persistent musty odor, especially in basements or attics
Visible mold patches (black, green, or white) on walls or ceilings
Recent flooding, roof leaks, or pipe bursts
Water stains, warped drywall, or peeling paint
Increased allergy or asthma symptoms indoors
Condensation on windows or HVAC vents
🛑 Reminder: Mold begins growing in as little as 24 hours after water exposure. Prompt cleanup is crucial to limit damage.
How Mold Abatement Supports Remediation
What Is Mold Abatement?
Mold abatement refers to the long-term strategies used to prevent mold from returning after cleanup. While remediation removes mold, abatement makes the environment less hospitable to it.
How It Supports Cleanup:
Moisture Control Technicians identify and fix the sources of excess moisture—leaks, poor drainage, or lack of ventilation.
Humidity Management Dehumidifiers and ventilation improvements help maintain indoor humidity below 60%.
Mold-Resistant Materials In high-risk areas like bathrooms or basements, mold-resistant drywall and insulation may be recommended.
Airflow Improvements Proper airflow in attics, crawl spaces, and HVAC systems reduces condensation and moisture buildup.
Preventive Maintenance Tips Professionals provide homeowners with customized recommendations to avoid repeat mold issues.
Insurance and Documentation
If mold resulted from a covered water event (e.g., a burst pipe or storm damage), many homeowner policies may help cover remediation. Mold Rescue Houston provides detailed reports to support your insurance claim and ensure you're not paying more than necessary.

How do skylights improve indoor air quality?
When creating a comfortable living space, you might first think about furniture, decor, or even the paint on the walls. But have you ever considered how indoor air quality affects your home's comfort and health? One often-overlooked way to improve indoor air quality is by installing skylights. They do more than just brighten up your space; they can make the air you breathe cleaner and fresher. Let's dive into how skylights can make a difference and why you might want to consider adding them to your home.
The Importance of Indoor Air Quality
Before we get into skylights, it's worth understanding why indoor air quality matters. Poor air quality in your home can lead to various issues, from minor annoyances like stuffiness and unpleasant odors to more serious concerns like respiratory problems and allergies. Factors like cooking, cleaning products, and even your home's building materials can release pollutants into the air. So, improving air quality isn't just about comfort—it's about creating a healthier environment for everyone in the house.
Skylights and Natural Ventilation
One of the main ways skylights can improve indoor air quality is by providing natural ventilation. Many skylights can be opened to allow fresh air to circulate throughout your home. This natural airflow helps remove stale air, moisture, and pollutants, replacing them with fresh outdoor air. Think of it as giving your home a chance to "breathe."
You might already use windows to ventilate your home, but skylights offer a unique advantage. Since they are installed on the roof, warm air that rises naturally finds an easy escape route. This process is known as the "chimney effect," where cooler, fresher air is drawn in through lower-level windows, and warmer, stale air exits through the skylights. This constant circulation can significantly improve indoor air quality, especially in rooms that tend to get stuffy, like bathrooms and kitchens.
Reducing Moisture and Mold Growth
Excess moisture in the home can lead to problems, including mold growth. Mold damages your home and contributes to poor indoor air quality, potentially causing allergic reactions and respiratory issues. Skylights can help by allowing excess moisture to escape, particularly in areas prone to humidity, such as bathrooms.
Installing a venting skylight creates an escape route for steam and moisture, reducing the likelihood of mold and mildew formation. Proper ventilation makes your home less hospitable to these unwanted guests, leading to a healthier indoor environment.
Bringing in Natural Light
Skylights also allow abundant natural light to flood into your living spaces. But how does this relate to indoor air quality? Natural light has a few indirect benefits contributing to a healthier indoor environment. For one, sunlight can help reduce the presence of certain bacteria and mold spores that thrive in dark, damp conditions. The UV rays in sunlight have natural disinfecting properties that help clean your home.
In addition, natural light has been shown to boost mood and energy levels. When you feel good, you're more likely to engage in healthy habits like regular cleaning and maintenance, which can further contribute to a better indoor environment. Plus, when rooms are well-lit, you're less likely to need artificial lighting, reducing the buildup of heat and pollutants from light bulbs, especially if you use older, non-LED bulbs.
Improved Airflow in Hard-to-Ventilate Spaces
Certain areas of your home might be hard to ventilate with traditional windows alone. Think of rooms like attics, basements, or interior bathrooms that don't have exterior walls. Skylights provide a practical solution by offering an additional ventilation option. When strategically placed, skylights can draw out stale air even from these challenging areas, creating a more balanced and fresh indoor atmosphere.
Energy Efficiency and Air Quality
You might not immediately connect energy efficiency with air quality, but the two can go hand in hand. Skylights can help regulate indoor temperatures by allowing heat to escape in the summer and retaining warmth in the winter. Maintaining a more consistent indoor temperature reduces the need for heating and cooling systems to circulate dust, allergens, and other pollutants throughout your home.
How Lastime Exteriors Can Help
Considering the benefits, installing skylights seems smart for any homeowner interested in improving indoor air quality. But the key to getting the most out of skylights is proper installation. That's where Lastime Exteriors comes in. Our expertise in skylight installation and roofing solutions ensures that your skylights are positioned and installed to maximize ventilation and natural light, tailored to your home's unique layout.
Ready to Breathe Easier?
Imagine coming home to a space filled with natural light and fresh air—a home where you and your family can breathe easily. Skylights can offer that, and Lastime Exteriors is here to make it happen.

Water Damage Repair: Everything You Need to Know to Protect Your Property Water damage is one of the most common—and costly—problems homeowners and property managers face. Whether it’s caused by a burst pipe, a leaking roof, an overflowing appliance, or a natural disaster, water can wreak havoc on your property in a matter of minutes. When left untreated, it can lead to structural issues, mold growth, and serious health concerns. That’s why understanding the water damage repair process is essential.
Tumblr media
In this blog, we’ll walk you through the causes, signs, repair process, and prevention tips for water damage to help you stay prepared and protect your investment.
What Causes Water Damage?
Water damage can result from a variety of sources, and identifying the root cause is the first step toward a successful repair. Some of the most common causes include:
Plumbing issues: Burst pipes, leaking faucets, and faulty water heaters are frequent culprits.
Appliance malfunctions: Dishwashers, washing machines, and refrigerators can leak over time.
Roof damage: Missing shingles, flashing issues, and clogged gutters can allow water to seep in.
Foundation problems: Cracks in the foundation or poor drainage around your home can lead to basement flooding.
Weather events: Heavy rains, hurricanes, and snowmelt can overwhelm drainage systems and flood your property.
Signs of Water Damage to Watch For
Sometimes water damage is obvious, like in the case of a flooded basement. Other times, it can be hidden and gradual. Look out for these warning signs:
Stains or discoloration on walls or ceilings
Warped or buckling floors
Peeling paint or wallpaper
A musty or damp odor
Mold growth, especially in corners or hidden spaces
Dripping sounds or unexplained increases in your water bill
Catching water damage early can save you thousands in repairs and prevent more serious issues from developing.
The Water Damage Repair Process
Water damage repair is a multi-step process that requires professional attention for best results. Here’s what typically happens during restoration:
1. Inspection and Damage Assessment
A professional team will assess the extent of the water damage, using moisture meters and infrared cameras to detect hidden water pockets behind walls, floors, and ceilings.
2. Water Removal
The first critical step is water extraction. High-powered pumps and vacuums are used to remove standing water quickly. The longer water sits, the more damage it can cause.
3. Drying and Dehumidification
Even after visible water is removed, moisture remains trapped in materials like wood, drywall, and insulation. Industrial-grade fans and dehumidifiers are used to dry everything thoroughly and prevent mold growth.
4. Cleaning and Sanitizing
Water damage often brings bacteria, especially if the source is contaminated (such as sewage backup or floodwater). Affected surfaces are cleaned and disinfected to ensure a safe, healthy environment.
5. Repair and Restoration
This final stage involves repairing or replacing damaged drywall, flooring, insulation, and structural elements. The goal is to return your property to its pre-damage condition—or better.
Why Professional Help Is Crucial
It may be tempting to handle water damage on your own, especially for smaller leaks, but doing so often leads to overlooked problems. Professional water damage repair teams bring:
Specialized equipment for detection, drying, and sanitation
Expertise in identifying hidden damage
Experience dealing with insurance claims and documentation
Faster recovery and reduced risk of long-term issues like mold or rot
Attempting DIY fixes might save money upfront but can cost more in the long run if problems resurface.
Common Areas Affected by Water Damage
Certain parts of your home are more vulnerable to water damage than others. These include:
Basements: Prone to flooding due to foundation cracks or poor drainage
Kitchens and bathrooms: Frequent exposure to water from sinks, appliances, and pipes
Attics: Susceptible to roof leaks and condensation
Living rooms and bedrooms: Can suffer from pipe bursts or HVAC leaks
Knowing where water damage is most likely to occur can help you perform regular inspections and maintenance.
Mold Growth: A Serious Side Effect
One of the most dangerous outcomes of untreated water damage is mold. Mold can start growing in as little as 24–48 hours and poses serious health risks, especially to people with allergies or respiratory issues. Professional water damage repair includes mold prevention and, if necessary, mold remediation to protect your indoor air quality.
Preventing Future Water Damage
While some causes of water damage are unavoidable, many are preventable with regular maintenance and a proactive approach. Here are some prevention tips:
Inspect your plumbing regularly for signs of wear or leaks.
Clean gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage.
Seal cracks in your foundation and check basement waterproofing systems.
Install a sump pump with a backup battery in flood-prone areas.
Use water leak detectors near appliances and pipes.
Maintain your roof and check for damage after major storms.
A little prevention goes a long way in avoiding costly repairs and property loss.
Working With Insurance
If your water damage is covered by insurance, documenting the damage is crucial. Take clear photos of all affected areas, keep receipts for repairs, and notify your insurer as soon as possible. Many professional repair companies will help you navigate the claims process to ensure a smoother experience.
Conclusion
Water damage can be overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be devastating. With prompt action, professional repair services, and a solid prevention strategy, you can recover from water-related disasters and safeguard your home or business for the future.
Whether you’re dealing with a sudden flood or signs of a slow leak, don’t wait—address water damage as soon as possible to minimize risk, cost, and disruption.

The Ultimate Guide to Water Damage Repair: What Every Property Owner Should Know
Tumblr media
Water damage is one of the most common and costly issues that homeowners and business owners face. From unexpected floods to leaky pipes, water can quickly cause structural damage, lead to mold growth, and disrupt daily life. That’s why acting fast and hiring a professional water damage repair company is critical.
In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about water damage repair—from the causes and warning signs to the restoration process and why working with a trusted team matters.
What Causes Water Damage?
Water damage can happen for a variety of reasons. Some are sudden and obvious, while others develop slowly over time. Common causes include:
Burst or leaking pipes
Heavy rain or storm flooding
Sewage backups
Malfunctioning appliances (dishwashers, washing machines, water heaters)
Roof leaks
Foundation cracks or poor drainage systems
Whether it’s clean water or contaminated wastewater, the longer it sits, the worse the damage becomes. That’s why fast action is so important.
Warning Signs of Water Damage
Sometimes, water damage is obvious—like a soaked carpet or a ceiling that’s caved in. But other times, it can be subtle and hidden behind walls, under floors, or in attics. Here are some common signs to look for:
Discoloration or staining on walls or ceilings
Musty or damp smells
Peeling paint or bubbling drywall
Warped flooring or baseboards
Visible mold growth
Sudden increase in water bills
If you notice any of these signs, contact a water damage repair professional immediately. A quick inspection could prevent thousands of dollars in future repairs.
The Water Damage Repair Process: Step-by-Step
A professional water damage repair company will follow a proven process to ensure your property is fully restored and safe to live or work in again. Here’s what that process typically looks like:
1. Emergency Contact and Inspection
Time is critical in any water damage situation. Most reputable companies offer 24/7 emergency response. After your call, a team will arrive quickly to assess the extent of the damage, identify the water source, and determine the type of water involved (clean, gray, or black).
2. Water Removal and Extraction
Using powerful pumps and vacuums, professionals will extract standing water from the affected areas. The faster the water is removed, the less damage there is to your walls, floors, and possessions.
3. Drying and Dehumidification
Even after water is removed, moisture can remain in walls, floors, and furniture. Industrial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers are used to completely dry the space and prevent mold growth.
4. Cleaning and Sanitization
Contaminated water—especially from sewage backups—requires special cleaning and disinfection. Technicians will sanitize all surfaces, remove odors, and dispose of damaged materials that can’t be salvaged.
5. Restoration and Repairs
The final step is restoring your property to its original condition (or better). This may involve repairing drywall, replacing flooring, painting walls, and installing new fixtures. In severe cases, full reconstruction may be needed.
Why You Should Hire a Professional Water Damage Repair Company
Trying to clean up water damage on your own may seem like a cost-saving option, but it often leads to bigger problems down the line. Here’s why hiring a professional matters:
Expertise and Equipment
Water damage restoration companies have the tools and training to handle the job thoroughly and safely. They know how to detect hidden damage, dry areas completely, and prevent mold and bacteria from taking hold.
Faster Recovery Time
Professionals can restore your property faster than DIY methods, reducing disruption to your life or business.
Insurance Assistance
Experienced repair companies work with insurance providers daily. They can document the damage, provide estimates, and help you get the most out of your coverage.
Mold Prevention
Left untreated, water damage often leads to mold—a serious health hazard. Restoration experts apply antimicrobial treatments and monitor moisture levels to stop mold before it starts.
How Much Does Water Damage Repair Cost?
The cost of water damage repair varies widely depending on:
The extent of the damage
The type of water (clean, gray, or black)
The affected areas (walls, ceilings, floors)
The materials involved (hardwood, carpet, drywall, insulation)
Whether mold remediation or reconstruction is required
On average, homeowners might spend between $1,200 and $5,000 for water damage repairs, though larger or more complex cases can cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is through a professional inspection.
Tips for Preventing Future Water Damage
While you can’t control every potential disaster, you can take steps to reduce your risk:
Inspect plumbing regularly for leaks or corrosion
Clean gutters and downspouts to prevent water buildup
Ensure proper grading around your home’s foundation
Install a sump pump and backflow valve
Shut off the main water valve when leaving for extended periods
Maintain your roof and check for missing or damaged shingles
Use water leak detectors or smart home monitoring systems
Proactive maintenance can save you thousands and give you peace of mind.
Final Thoughts: Don’t Wait—Act Fast
Water damage can escalate quickly, destroying your belongings, weakening your home’s structure, and creating serious health risks from mold and bacteria. The most important thing you can do is act fast and call a trusted water damage repair company.

Mold Remediation Houston: What Houston Residents Should Know About Mold Removal Costs
What to Expect and How Much It Costs
In Houston, mold isn’t just a seasonal concern—it’s a constant threat. With high humidity, regular thunderstorms, and occasional hurricane-related flooding, homes throughout the city are at risk for mold growth year-round. Even a small leak or poorly ventilated area can trigger an infestation that spreads quickly.
That’s why understanding mold remediation in Houston is so important. When mold strikes, time is critical—and so is choosing the right professionals to handle it. And while cost is often a concern, knowing how mold removal costs are calculated can help you plan and budget effectively.
This article breaks down everything homeowners in Houston need to know about the dangers of mold, what remediation really involves, what factors influence pricing, and why local experts like Mold Rescue Houston are the smart choice.
Why Mold Is Dangerous in Houston Homes
Serious Health Risks
Mold produces microscopic spores that travel through the air and enter your lungs. In a humid city like Houston, where mold can grow undetected in hidden spaces, prolonged exposure is common and potentially harmful.
Health effects include:
Chronic coughing, sneezing, or sinus congestion
Eye and skin irritation
Worsening asthma symptoms
Fatigue or respiratory distress
Children, seniors, and people with allergies or compromised immune systems are especially at risk. Indoor mold is not just unpleasant—it’s a serious indoor air quality issue.
Property Damage You Can’t Ignore
Aside from health problems, mold can silently destroy building materials:
Drywall softens and stains
Wood rots and loses structural integrity
Insulation becomes saturated and ineffective
HVAC systems get clogged and circulate spores throughout the home
In areas of Houston prone to flooding or humidity, like Clear Lake, Bellaire, or The Heights, these issues are far too common.
What Mold Remediation Houston Really Means
More Than Just Cleaning
Mold remediation is the professional process of identifying, containing, removing, and preventing mold in residential or commercial spaces. Unlike basic cleaning or spraying bleach, remediation addresses the root cause—moisture—and fully removes contamination.
Step-by-Step Process:
Initial Inspection & Moisture Detection Professionals assess visible mold and use tools like moisture meters and infrared cameras to detect hidden colonies.
Containment Setup Plastic sheeting and negative air pressure systems are installed to isolate affected areas and prevent spores from spreading.
HEPA Air Filtration Commercial-grade air scrubbers run continuously to clean the air of mold particles during the process.
Mold Removal Contaminated materials are carefully removed or treated, including drywall, carpet, or insulation.
Cleaning & Disinfection Remaining surfaces are cleaned with EPA-approved antimicrobial agents to kill any remaining spores.
Drying & Dehumidification Industrial fans and dehumidifiers reduce moisture levels and prevent future mold growth.
Optional Post-Remediation Testing Air samples may be taken to confirm that mold levels have returned to safe thresholds.
Common Misconceptions
“Bleach kills mold.” It only removes surface growth on non-porous materials and doesn’t eliminate spores or treat hidden areas.
“I don’t see mold, so I’m fine.” Mold often grows out of sight—in walls, attics, crawl spaces, and HVAC systems.
“All mold is the same.” Some molds are allergenic, while others, like Stachybotrys chartarum (black mold), can be toxic. Only professionals can identify and manage the difference.
When You Need Mold Help
Warning Signs to Act On
Don’t wait for major damage. Here are signs you may need immediate mold remediation:
Persistent musty odor, especially in enclosed spaces
Visible mold on ceilings, walls, or baseboards
Recent water damage (flooding, burst pipe, roof leak)
Warped or stained drywall
Chronic allergy symptoms that worsen indoors
Discoloration near vents or HVAC registers
High indoor humidity and condensation
🛑 Mold can begin growing within 24–48 hours after moisture exposure. Fast response prevents widespread contamination and reduces overall costs.

What to Do Before & After a Pest Control Treatment
Nobody likes uninvited guests—especially the creepy-crawly kind! Whether it’s ants, cockroaches, or rodents, pests can turn your cosy home into a nightmare. That’s where pest control services treatments come in. But here’s the deal: just calling the exterminator isn’t enough. To make the treatment effective, you need to take some steps before and after the process.
Tumblr media
Before a Pest Control Treatment
Step 1: Identify the Pest Problem
First things first—what kind of pests are invading your space? Roaches? Termites? Rodents? Identifying the enemy helps your exterminator choose the right treatment. If you're unsure, let the professionals inspect your home before scheduling a treatment. Communication is key, so tell them about any specific trouble spots.
Step 2: Clear the Affected Areas
Pest control works best when nothing obstructs the process. Move furniture away from walls, empty kitchen cabinets if dealing with cockroaches, and remove clutter from floors. If you're treating bed bugs, wash and pack away your bedding. The more accessible the space, the more effective the treatment!
Step 3: Ensure Safety for Pets and Kids
Got pets? Kids running around? Make arrangements to keep them away from the treated areas. Many pest control chemicals can be harmful, so it's best to take them elsewhere for a few hours. Fish tanks should be covered, and pet food should be stored away.
Step 4: Seal and Protect Valuables
No one wants chemicals on their food, toothbrushes, or medications. Store pantry items in airtight containers and place essential items like cosmetics, baby toys, and kitchen utensils in sealed bags or cabinets.
Step 5: Ventilation and Accessibility
Ensure the exterminators can access all areas, including attics, basements, and behind large appliances. If needed, open windows for ventilation before they arrive, depending on the type of treatment.
During the Pest Control Treatment
Step 1: Follow Instructions from the Professionals
Exterminators might give you special instructions, like keeping windows shut or avoiding certain areas. Listen carefully and follow their advice for the best results.
Step 2: Leave the Area if Required
Depending on the treatment, you may need to vacate your home for a few hours. Some pesticides require a drying period before it’s safe to return. Make sure to ask how long you should stay away.
After a Pest Control Treatment
Step 1: Wait Before Cleaning
Resist the urge to deep clean immediately! Most treatments need time to work. Avoid mopping or wiping down treated areas for at least 24-48 hours unless advised otherwise. Sweeping and vacuuming can be done lightly but steer clear of direct areas where pesticides were applied.
Step 2: Dispose of Contaminated Items
If the treatment involved bait stations, be cautious while handling them. If you find dead pests, dispose of them properly using gloves. Clean any surfaces where they were found with a mild disinfectant.
Step 3: Monitor for Pest Activity
Don’t expect instant results—pests don’t just vanish overnight! Some treatments may take days or weeks to show full effects. Keep an eye out for dead pests or increased activity. If the problem persists, contact your exterminator for a follow-up visit.
Step 4: Prevent Future Infestations
A little prevention goes a long way! Here’s how to keep your home pest-free:
Seal entry points: Check windows, doors, and cracks where pests might sneak in.
Keep it clean: Regularly wipe down counters, vacuum floors, and take out the trash.
Store food properly: Use sealed containers to keep pests away from your pantry.
Maintain the yard: Trim bushes and keep outdoor areas clean to prevent outdoor pests from coming inside.
Conclusion
Pest control treatments work wonders, but they’re most effective when you prepare your home beforehand and take proper precautions afterward. By following these simple steps, you can make sure those pesky invaders don’t stand a chance. Stay proactive, and your home will remain a pest-free paradise!
