Job completed for Wayne B. - Wycoff, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: May 25, 2025

Location: Wycoff, NJ

Solutions provided:

When Wayne B. discovered a burst pipe had flooded the finished basement of his home in Wyckoff, it was already too late to prevent significant water damage. The pipe, located behind a wall near the laundry area, had ruptured overnight, saturating carpeted floors, drywall, and built-in cabinetry. PDQ Restoration responded promptly, beginning water extraction to prevent further structural deterioration, followed by removal of wet insulation and comprehensive structure drying. Due to the extent of the water saturation, several sections of water-damaged drywall were removed and disposed of. This water damage cleanup in Wyckoff was covered by the homeowner's insurance policy, which helped facilitate a timely and thorough restoration.

The PDQ Restoration team in Wyckoff conducted moisture mapping and utilized commercial-grade dehumidifiers to stabilize the environment. Specialized attention was given to drying the wood floor area near the basement entry, which had begun to cup from water absorption. Technicians implemented HVAC discharge line inspections to rule out secondary leaks and prevent future issues. Throughout the water damage mitigation process in Wyckoff, air scrubbers were used to maintain air quality and reduce the risk of mold growth. The finished basement in Wyckoff was returned to a dry, clean condition after multiple days of monitoring and equipment adjustments, ensuring the home was safe and habitable once again.
