Job completed for Jordan H. - Far Hills, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: May 17, 2025

Location: Far Hills, NJ

Solutions provided:

Jordan H. encountered extensive water damage in his Far Hills home after a leaking pipe beneath the upstairs bathroom sink slowly released water into the flooring and ceiling below. The leak, hidden within the vanity cabinet, saturated the bathroom subfloor and caused water to seep through to the ceiling of the dining room on the lower level. PDQ’s Far Hills water damage restoration team arrived promptly to perform moisture mapping and begin emergency water extraction. Damaged drywall, wet insulation, and water-soaked wood flooring were removed, and industrial air movers were deployed to initiate thorough structure drying.

Water damage from leaking bathroom pipes is a common issue in Far Hills, especially when the leak extends to floors and ceilings on lower levels. In this case, PDQ technicians carefully removed sections of ceiling drywall to access and dry the hidden cavities and ensure no trapped moisture remained. Wet insulation was replaced, and antimicrobial treatments were applied to prevent mold growth. The hardwood flooring in the bathroom was also evaluated for warping and partially removed for proper drying. As this incident was covered by the homeowner’s insurance, all restoration procedures in the Far Hills home were documented for claim processing. Pipe leaks like this highlight the importance of early detection and fast water mitigation to prevent long-term structural issues.
