Job completed for Linda K. - Cedar Grove, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: April 17, 2025

Location: Cedar Grove, NJ

Solutions provided:

Linda reached out to PDQ Restoration after discovering her basement in Cedar Grove, NJ had flooded due to a heavy rainstorm that overwhelmed the sump pump. The water quickly spread across the basement, soaking the carpet and leaving the entire area damp and at risk for mold growth. To make matters worse, the staircase leading down to the basement showed signs of water infiltration, raising concerns about structural integrity and contamination.

The PDQ Restoration team arrived promptly, beginning with a thorough inspection of the basement to assess the extent of the water damage. High-powered water extraction equipment was deployed to remove standing water from the carpet, followed by industrial-strength air movers and dehumidifiers to eliminate moisture from the affected surfaces. Understanding the urgency of preventing mold, the team applied antimicrobial treatments to inhibit any potential growth.

To secure the staircase, the team established proper containment measures, sealing off the area to prevent cross-contamination and further damage. Specialized drying equipment was strategically placed to address dampness within the steps and surrounding framework. Throughout the process, moisture readings were consistently taken to ensure that all hidden pockets of humidity were addressed, leaving the basement completely dry and safe for use.

PDQ Restoration’s quick and professional response brought Linda’s basement in Cedar Grove, NJ back to its original condition. With the carpet thoroughly dried and sanitized, and the staircase properly contained and restored, Linda could once again use her space with confidence, knowing that every step had been taken to prevent future issues.
