Location: Paramus, NJ

Solutions provided:

Olivia G. of Paramus, NJ contacted us after discovering that her water heater had failed overnight, leaking gallons of water into her fully finished basement. The leak originated from a cracked tank, soaking carpeted floors, drywall, and furniture in multiple rooms. By the time the issue was identified, water had spread beneath the baseboards and into wall cavities, raising concerns of long-term moisture damage and mold growth. Our Paramus, NJ water damage restoration team arrived promptly to assess the saturation levels and begin the emergency water extraction process.

The cleanup in Paramus, NJ began with the removal of all standing water using high-powered extraction equipment, followed by targeted drying of the structure using commercial dehumidifiers and air movers. Wet insulation and drywall were removed where necessary to prevent mold, and moisture mapping was performed to track hidden water migration. The affected area was disinfected to eliminate potential microbial contamination. The homeowner’s insurance policy covered the water damage cleanup, replacement of saturated materials, and water heater failure due to the sudden and accidental nature of the leak. This water damage restoration in Paramus, NJ illustrates how quickly a leaking water heater can devastate a finished basement without immediate professional intervention.
