Job completed for Steven J. - Butler, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: April 24, 2025

Location: Butler, NJ

Solutions provided:

Steven reached out to PDQ Restoration after his partially finished basement in Butler, NJ flooded due to a failed sump pump. Heavy rainfall overwhelmed the malfunctioning system, allowing water to pool across the basement floor, soaking the carpeting, drywall, and stored belongings. Concerned about potential water damage and mold growth, Steven knew immediate professional intervention was necessary to restore his space.

The PDQ Restoration team arrived promptly and began with a thorough inspection of the basement to assess the extent of the flooding. High-powered water extraction equipment was deployed to remove standing water from the carpeted areas and concrete flooring. Industrial-strength air movers and dehumidifiers were strategically positioned to dry out the moisture trapped within the walls, baseboards, and subflooring. Regular moisture readings were taken to ensure complete drying of all affected materials.

To prevent mold and mildew growth, antimicrobial treatments were applied to all impacted surfaces, including carpets, drywall, and exposed wood framing. The team also inspected the failed sump pump, identifying the cause of the malfunction and providing recommendations for repair or replacement to prevent future flooding. All damaged materials were safely removed, and a detailed sanitization process was completed to restore the basement to a clean and safe condition.
