    My home has sustained damage to the subfloor due to moisture that was not properly addressed. After the initial visit from the contractor (10/14/24), my husband attempted to follow up, leaving multiple voicemails (10/17&10/18) without response. Our restoration company contacted Mr. ***** last Thursday (10/17/24), discussing the damages and potential costs. Mr. ***** said he would contact his insurance provider on Friday. Sunday evening, I sent an email detailing our concerns and followed up with a phone call Monday, 10/21/24. During our conversation, Mr. ***** admitted he had not contacted his insurance provider. He also requested an invoice, indicating he might prefer to pay out of pocket rather than file a claim. The restoration company then provided the necessary estimate.
    The current state of our home is distressing, considering my child's compromised immune system and respiratory issues. We are experiencing symptoms that may indicate mold growth. We believe Mr. ***** is liable for the damages resulting from inadequate workmanship, specifically the failure to properly dry the subfloor before installing spray foam. A plumber has verified there are no leaks contributing to this moisture issue.
    Mr. ***** has attempted to make contact with us (10/23/24) and offered a settlement of $15,000 to partially repair the damages. We know that he is liable for the damages done to our home. Mr. ***** and his crew did not properly check the moisture before applying the closed cell insulation. When installing the spray foam, Mr. ***** assured us that the moisture level would be need to be below 18%, and if not, he would bring in heat fans to dry out the sub flooring. Upon realizing that there was an issue with the subfloor, we had the floor tested for moisture and the levels throughout our home were above 50%. The majority of our home’s subfloor is rotten due to trapped moisture.

    I purchased an attic fan and installation on October 27th, 2023 for the amount of $1,383.25. The fan was installed but has not functioned since installation. They sent a crew out and they determined that a new thermostat was required and the roofing company that did the installation in their behalf will need to do the repair. Through multiple calls to Koala (Amanda ***** 918-********) I was told that they would have their roofer on site today (11/9/2023) between 10:00 and 12:00 cst. The roofer never showed up and the fan is still not functioning. Amanda ***** is not answering my calls and I have left a message with their answering service but have not heard back.

    We have already worked with Mr. **** and resolved this issue. I did in fact return his calls, and the fan was replaced at no additional cost to him.

    Thank you, Amanda *****
