The gulf by Houston is where all the oil, gas, and chemical refineries are at for Texas.

Be 100% ready to walk away from the deal if any of the problematic drycleaning chemicals come up. 

Just skimming out debris and adjusting chemicals?

The wooden floors were last refinished in 2020 (have all receipts), last tenant move out in 2022 with no issues to the floor (have pictures from move-out inspection),  2023 move out - large parts of the wooden floor are covered in black chemical residue (maybe from cheap rugs?) 

We have a lot of oil field service companies, chemical additives for oil wells, drilling pipe, motor rewinding, dirt contractors, construction/moving equipment, rental equipment, workover rigs, consultants, etc.   

Amongst all sorts of chemicals it also was corrosive enough to dissolve the lead pipes natural passive layer of PbO2 inside the pipes, so lead could leach into the water.

Additionally, efflorescence doesn’t mean there is water actively in the house, but that moisture is pushing ground leached chemicals through the foundation.

Beware that this process is very smelly in a chemically kind of way and you'll probably want to make sure that nobody else is in the house that day.For carpet and granite, I use Carpet Exchange.

I went with Shawn Huss @ Chemical Bank.
