Job completed for Emily L. - Andover, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: April 16, 2025

Location: Andover, NJ

Solutions provided:

Emily contacted PDQ Restoration after a burst pipe in the dining room of her Andover, NJ home caused significant water damage. The pipe ruptured during a sudden cold snap, sending water flooding across the hardwood floors before she could shut off the supply. By the time the leak was stopped, large sections of the wood floor were soaked and beginning to warp. Concerned about the damp conditions and the possibility of mold growth, Emily reached out for emergency help.

Our PDQ Restoration team arrived promptly in Andover and began with a full inspection of the water loss. Moisture readings confirmed that the wood flooring and subfloor beneath had absorbed too much water to be salvaged. We carefully removed the damaged hardwood planks to prevent mold growth and allow for proper drying of the underlying materials. Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers were strategically placed throughout the dining room to eliminate lingering humidity and ensure the space was no longer damp.

As the drying process progressed, we applied antimicrobial treatments to the exposed subfloor and lower walls to sanitize the area and eliminate any bacteria introduced by the water. Daily moisture checks helped us track the drying progress and confirm that all affected materials were returning to safe, dry levels. Throughout the project, we worked closely with Emily and her insurance provider to document all damage and restoration efforts, helping streamline her claim and ease the stress of the situation.

In just a few days, Emily’s dining room in Andover, NJ, was dry, clean, and ready for new flooring installation. Thanks to PDQ Restoration’s quick response and thorough work, she avoided more severe moisture damage and mold concerns. Andover homeowners can count on PDQ to handle burst pipes and wet wood floors with expertise and care.
