Job completed for Stacy B. - Morris Plains, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: April 4, 2025

Location: Morris Plains, NJ

Solutions provided:

Stacy contacted PDQ Restoration after discovering extensive water damage in her office suite located in Morris Plains, NJ. A burst pipe behind the sink in the employee breakroom had gone unnoticed over the weekend, leaving the entire carpeted area soaked and the drywall around the kitchenette visibly wet. With rising humidity and the unmistakable smell of damp materials, Stacy knew the moisture issues could quickly escalate into mold if not dealt with swiftly.

The PDQ Restoration team arrived at the Morris Plains location within the hour and began a full moisture inspection using thermal imaging to detect hidden pockets of water behind the walls and under the flooring. Once the affected zones were mapped, our technicians extracted the standing water using high-powered equipment and carefully removed any soaked insulation and damaged drywall. Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers were strategically placed throughout the office to eliminate trapped humidity and ensure that the space was no longer damp or at risk for long-term water damage.

Next, we focused on sanitizing the entire area, especially around the sink and breakroom, using antimicrobial solutions to prevent bacteria and mold from developing. Our team paid close attention to every surface that had come into contact with moisture. As part of our protocol, we also cleaned and sanitized the affected office furniture, including desks and chairs, that had absorbed water during the incident. Throughout the process, we took daily humidity and moisture readings to confirm drying progress, ensuring the office environment was fully restored and safe for employees.

Over the course of four days, the office in Morris Plains, NJ, was dried, cleaned, and restored to its pre-loss condition. PDQ Restoration worked directly with Stacy’s insurance provider to streamline the claims process, minimizing her out-of-pocket expenses. Thanks to our swift response and expertise, her team was able to return to a fully sanitized and dry workspace, with no lingering signs of the water loss. Morris Plains businesses like Stacy’s can count on PDQ to protect their property from the long-term effects of water and moisture damage.
