Job completed for Elena D. - Lodi, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: May 29, 2025

Location: Lodi, NJ

Solutions provided:

When Elena D. noticed water dripping from the ceiling of her living room in Lodi, she immediately shut off the main water supply and contacted PDQ Restoration. A broken pipe in the ceiling between the first and second floors had caused water to saturate the ceiling drywall, insulation, and flooring below. By the time technicians arrived, water had already traveled through light fixtures and down the interior walls, affecting several rooms. PDQ Restoration initiated emergency water extraction and carefully removed ceiling materials to expose the damaged pipe and begin structural drying. This water damage cleanup in Lodi was covered by the homeowner’s insurance policy, which expedited restoration services.

The PDQ Restoration team in Lodi performed moisture mapping to identify hidden damp areas, ensuring that no trapped moisture remained in wall cavities or under flooring. Wet insulation was removed from the ceiling, and commercial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers were installed to dry the structure thoroughly. The team also conducted a preventative mold treatment due to the warm, moist conditions within the ceiling cavity. Water damage mitigation in Lodi included repairs to affected drywall, air quality monitoring, and daily progress checks until the home was fully dry. After several days of controlled drying and inspection, the water-damaged ceiling and walls in Elena’s Lodi home were stabilized and ready for repairs.
