Job completed for Jonathan P. - Oak Ridge, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: May 16, 2025

Location: Oak Ridge, NJ

Solutions provided:

Jonathan P. of Oak Ridge, NJ discovered water pooling in his unfinished basement after a copper supply line developed a slow but steady leak near the ceiling joists. Over time, water dripped onto the concrete slab and soaked into stored boxes, furniture, and personal belongings that had been placed directly on the floor. The leak had gone unnoticed for several days, creating a damp, humid environment and raising concerns about potential mold growth on affected contents. Our Oak Ridge, NJ water damage restoration team responded quickly to mitigate the damage and assess which items could be salvaged.

Upon arrival, we isolated the leaking pipe and performed water extraction from the basement floor. Our Oak Ridge, NJ technicians sorted through the affected contents, moving salvageable items to a dry zone for dehumidification and cleaning, while disposing of unsalvageable, mold-affected materials. Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers were deployed to dry out the structural elements and stored goods. We treated the affected areas with antimicrobial agents to inhibit mold development and documented the damage for the insurance claim, which was approved due to the sudden and accidental nature of the pipe failure. This Oak Ridge, NJ basement water damage cleanup highlights how vulnerable stored contents can be when plumbing leaks go undetected in unfinished spaces.
