Job completed for Jason L. - Glen Rock, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: May 28, 2025

Location: Glen Rock, NJ

Solutions provided:

When Jason L. discovered water pooling in the basement of his Glen Rock home, he quickly traced the source to a burst pipe behind a finished wall. The water had been flowing for several hours, saturating insulation, drywall, and wood framing throughout the lower level. PDQ Restoration responded with emergency water extraction and immediately began removing affected materials to access the saturated structural elements. Due to the extent of water intrusion, the basement walls in Glen Rock had to be completely removed down to the studs to allow for thorough drying. This water damage restoration was covered by the homeowner’s insurance, which allowed for a swift response and complete mitigation.

PDQ Restoration’s water damage team in Glen Rock used moisture meters and infrared imaging to map out the full extent of hidden water saturation. Dehumidifiers and high-velocity air movers were deployed throughout the basement to dry out the exposed framing, subfloor, and wall cavities. Technicians also removed wet insulation and treated structural wood with antimicrobial agents to prevent mold growth. The burst pipe in Glen Rock was repaired, and HVAC discharge lines were inspected to ensure no additional moisture issues existed. After several days of monitoring and adjustments, the basement was completely dried, stabilized, and ready for rebuild without risk of hidden water damage.
