Job completed for Kevin D. - Passaic, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: May 19, 2025

Location: Passaic, NJ

Solutions provided:

Kevin D. of Passaic, NJ experienced significant water damage in his finished basement when a pressurized water supply pipe unexpectedly burst behind a utility wall in early May. The rupture occurred without warning, releasing a steady flow of water that quickly saturated the basement’s carpeting, wallboard, and wood trim. By the time the leak was discovered, multiple rooms were affected, with water seeping beneath baseboards and soaking the carpet padding. Our Passaic, NJ water damage restoration crew arrived promptly to perform emergency water extraction and moisture assessment.

We began the Passaic, NJ cleanup by removing all standing water and pulling up the saturated carpet and padding to allow for efficient structure drying. Industrial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers were deployed to dry out walls, subfloors, and interior cavities. Portions of wet drywall were removed to prevent mold development, and we applied EPA-approved antimicrobial treatments to disinfect the space. The homeowner’s insurance covered the full restoration due to the sudden nature of the pipe failure. This burst pipe job in Passaic, NJ serves as a reminder that even in warmer months, plumbing failures can lead to major basement water damage if not addressed immediately.
