Job completed for Mark I. - Cedar Knolls, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: April 26, 2025

Location: Cedar Knolls, NJ

Solutions provided:

Mark contacted PDQ Restoration after a pipe burst in the ceiling of his garage in Cedar Knolls, NJ. The sudden leak caused water to pour down, soaking the ceiling, walls, and stored items in the garage. Concerned about water damage and potential mold growth, Mark reached out for immediate professional assistance to restore his space and prevent further issues.

The PDQ Restoration team arrived promptly and began with a detailed inspection of the garage to assess the full extent of the water damage. High-powered water extraction equipment was used to remove standing water, while industrial-strength air movers and dehumidifiers were strategically placed to dry out moisture from the ceiling, walls, and concrete flooring. To prevent water from spreading to unaffected areas, proper containment measures were established. Heavy-duty plastic sheeting and negative air pressure systems were utilized to isolate the damaged section and prevent cross-contamination.

To eliminate the risk of mold and mildew, antimicrobial treatments were applied to all impacted surfaces, including exposed framing, ceiling materials, and walls. The team also performed moisture readings throughout the drying process to ensure complete moisture removal. Damaged drywall and insulation were safely removed and replaced, restoring the structural integrity of the garage ceiling.
