Job completed for Denise W. - Flagtown, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: May 18, 2025

Location: Flagtown, NJ

Solutions provided:

Denise W. contacted PDQ after a heavy rainstorm caused her Flagtown home’s basement to flood, bringing in muddy water through a compromised foundation wall. The sudden influx of water not only saturated the entire basement floor but also coated the area with mud and silt, creating a hazardous environment and damaging stored belongings. PDQ’s water damage restoration team arrived promptly in Flagtown to begin emergency water extraction and debris removal. Specialized pumps and vacuums were used to clear the floodwater, followed by shoveling and removal of the mud layer. High-capacity air movers and dehumidifiers were set up to dry out the space and prevent further damage.

Flooded basements in Flagtown often bring with them both water and soil, requiring detailed cleaning and structure drying. In this case, the PDQ team removed affected drywall and insulation along the lower portion of the basement walls, where moisture had wicked upward. Antimicrobial solutions were applied to all hard surfaces to prevent mold and bacteria growth. The foundation breach was identified and referred for structural repair to avoid future storm and flood damage. Since the loss was covered under flood-related insurance, PDQ coordinated directly with the carrier, providing detailed documentation. This Flagtown basement flood cleanup showcases the importance of rapid response and comprehensive restoration in storm-related water damage events.
