Job completed for Rebecca R. - Livingston, NJ - Water Damage

Rebecca contacted PDQ Restoration after a broken pipe in the finished side of her basement in Livingston, NJ caused significant water damage. The pipe rupture led to water soaking the walls, carpet, and furniture, leaving Rebecca concerned about the potential for mold growth and long-term structural damage. She needed expert help to address the situation quickly and thoroughly.

The PDQ Restoration team arrived promptly at Rebecca’s Livingston, NJ home and began by assessing the extent of the water damage. High-powered pumps were used to extract standing water from the basement, followed by the placement of industrial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers to dry the affected areas. Moisture meters were used to identify hidden dampness in the walls, flooring, and insulation.

To prevent mold and bacterial growth, the team applied antimicrobial treatments to all exposed surfaces. They carefully removed water-damaged drywall and carpeting, ensuring that all saturated materials were replaced. Once the space was completely dry, repairs began, including replacing sections of drywall, repainting, and reinstalling new carpet. Throughout the process, the team conducted regular moisture checks to confirm that the basement was completely dry.

Over four days, PDQ Restoration worked diligently to restore Rebecca’s finished basement in Livingston, NJ. They coordinated directly with her insurance provider to streamline the claims process and reduce her out-of-pocket expenses. By the end of the project, Rebecca’s basement was fully restored to its original condition, providing her peace of mind and a safe, functional living space once again.
