Job completed for Lena S. - Asbury, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: May 14, 2025

Location: Asbury, NJ

Solutions provided:

Lena S., a tenant in an Asbury apartment complex, reported visible mold growth and a persistent musty odor near the entrance of her unit. Upon inspection, PDQ discovered water damage inside the wall cavity caused by a slow leak from a deteriorated exterior seal, which had allowed moisture to accumulate over time. The water intrusion led to damp insulation and drywall saturation, creating ideal conditions for structural mold development. PDQ’s Asbury-based water damage restoration crew initiated immediate containment, removing affected drywall, wet insulation, and baseboards. The wall cavity was then dried using specialized air movers and dehumidifiers to halt further mold growth.

Mold remediation in Asbury apartments requires certified professionals trained in Mold Inspections & Remediation, and PDQ followed strict industry protocols to restore the space. After the water damage was mitigated, the team applied antimicrobial treatments to all exposed surfaces and conducted air scrubbing to remove mold spores. A sample mold test PDF was generated for the property manager to document conditions before and after cleanup. The structural mold contamination was limited to the entrance area, allowing for a focused yet thorough remediation process. Lena’s mold cleanup in Asbury underscores the importance of early detection, especially when hidden water damage compromises apartment wall systems.
