Job completed for Michael K. - Mount Arlington, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: April 17, 2025

Location: Mount Arlington, NJ

Solutions provided:

Michael contacted PDQ Restoration after discovering a broken pipe had caused severe flooding in the main conference room of his office building in Mount Arlington, NJ. The incident occurred overnight, and by morning, the carpeted floors were soaked, and moisture had begun seeping into the walls and under furniture. Concerned about potential mold growth, structural damage, and disruption to daily operations, Michael needed a fast, reliable solution.

Our team arrived at the Mount Arlington property within the hour to perform an emergency assessment. Standing water was extracted immediately using high-capacity pumps, and our technicians identified damp zones beneath the flooring and within wall cavities. To address the elevated humidity and ensure all wet surfaces were dried efficiently, we deployed commercial-grade dehumidifiers and high-velocity air movers. These systems worked in tandem to remove moisture from the air and restore safe humidity levels throughout the conference room.

To ensure the space was thoroughly cleaned and sanitized, antimicrobial treatments were applied to all surfaces that had come into contact with water. Our technicians wiped down the walls, furniture, and equipment with hospital-grade disinfectants, paying close attention to areas near the sink and adjoining bathroom, where moisture had also spread. We monitored the drying process with moisture meters over several days to confirm the area was fully dry and safe for reoccupancy. The Mount Arlington office staff was kept informed with daily updates and walkthroughs.

PDQ Restoration also assisted Michael with his insurance claim for the water damage restoration. Our detailed documentation and photos supported his claim for swift approval. Thanks to our rapid response and meticulous cleanup, the Mount Arlington office was back in operation in less than a week. The entire space was left clean, dry, and professionally restored—ensuring a healthy environment for employees and clients alike.
