Job completed for Stephanie P. - Mahwah, NJ - Water Damage

Stephanie contacted PDQ Restoration after her basement in Mahwah, NJ flooded due to a broken sump pump during a severe rainstorm. Water had soaked into the carpet, drywall, and furniture, leaving the basement unusable. Stephanie was particularly concerned about mold growth and needed immediate assistance to mitigate the water damage and restore her basement.

The PDQ Restoration team arrived promptly at Stephanie’s Mahwah, NJ home and began by removing the standing water with high-powered pumps to prevent further saturation of materials. Industrial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers were strategically placed throughout the basement to begin drying the space. Moisture meters were used to identify hidden dampness in the walls, flooring, and insulation.

Damaged drywall and carpeting were carefully removed to eliminate all water-affected materials. Exposed surfaces, including the subfloor and wall studs, were treated with antimicrobial agents to prevent mold and bacterial growth. The team conducted thorough moisture checks throughout the drying process to ensure no lingering dampness remained before proceeding with the restoration.

Over the course of four days, PDQ Restoration worked diligently to restore Stephanie’s basement in Mahwah, NJ. They assisted her in navigating the insurance claims process to ensure the necessary repairs were covered. By the end of the project, the damaged drywall and carpet were replaced, and the basement was restored to a safe, dry, and functional condition. Thanks to PDQ’s swift and professional response, Stephanie could enjoy her basement again with peace of mind.
