We have a unique opportunity to work with the 2017 Designer House in our area. Each year they take a home and various designers and landscapers are assigned an area transform the house. Tickets are sold for tours (that last a few weeks) when it's complete and proceeds got to local charity. Lots of exposure on a project like this.
We were contacted by one of the designers who is transforming the old root cellar in to a wine cellar. The walls, stairs and floor need to be cleaned to prep the area for her design. Her project will be temporary and the homeowner will not be keeping the area as the wine cellar once the even is over. (Read...they don't want to put money into it)
There has been moisture in the area and the walls show it. The want them cleaned and prepped for the painter. The homeowner "doesn't want to pay" to have anything done, so it will fall on the designer. We are willing to work with the designer as we see the potential for ourselves. But, as you can see from the pictures, the walls are flaking and chipping....(it adds to the character right?)
We plan to require the homeowner and designer to sign off on the fact that we will not be doing any type of remediation and that we recommend they have the area tested for mold prior to us beginning any work and if they choose not to, releasing us from any liability or issues that could occur (we will have written/reviewed by a lawyer).
There are no drains in the area, so we will have to remove any debris and use our tools to remove water from cleaning. Our plan is to "power wash' the walls and use the turbo on the floors.
We aren't looking for perfect. The Rustic look is what they are going for, but it does need to be clean. What products/methods would you recommend for the walls and floor?
Any other precautions or disclaimers we should include?
