Job completed for Jason U. - Denville, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: March 19, 2025

Location: Denville, NJ

Why did the customer contact us?

Jason from Denville, NJ reached out to PDQ Restoration after noticing a persistent musty odor seeping up from the crawl space beneath his home. Concerned that moisture buildup might have caused mold growth, especially after a recent stretch of heavy rain, Jason wanted a professional mold inspection and cleanup before it could spread into his living areas. Knowing the health risks associated with mold spores, he chose PDQ for our quick response and specialized containment techniques.

Solutions provided:

Once on-site in Denville, our team conducted a full mold assessment of the crawl space. We discovered significant mold colonies growing on wooden beams and insulation, due to the elevated humidity and poor ventilation. To prevent the spread of airborne spores into the rest of the home, PDQ set up a sealed containment zone using commercial-grade plastic sheeting and implemented negative air pressure systems with HEPA filters. This allowed us to trap airborne mold spores and maintain clean air throughout the rest of the Denville home.

With containment in place, our technicians began detailed mold remediation by removing contaminated materials and applying EPA-registered antimicrobial treatments to kill and prevent further mold growth. Every surface was scrubbed and vacuumed using HEPA filtration to ensure that even microscopic mold particles were eliminated. To tackle the underlying moisture issue, we recommended installing a vapor barrier and additional dehumidification in the crawl space to keep humidity levels under control long-term.

PDQ Restoration remained in close communication with Jason throughout the process, explaining each step and verifying that the air quality met safety standards before sealing the crawl space again. By the end of the project, his Denville, NJ home was completely mold-free, and his crawl space was dry, clean, and properly sealed. We were glad to help another Denville resident breathe easier with a fully sanitized and protected home environment.
