Job completed for Rachel F. - Bloomfield, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: June 2, 2025

Location: Bloomfield, NJ

Solutions provided:

When Rachel F. noticed bubbling paint and a musty odor in the living room of her Bloomfield home, she discovered a burst pipe had been leaking behind the wall for several days. The hidden water intrusion had saturated insulation, drywall, and baseboards, eventually leading to visible mold growth along the lower portion of the living room wall. PDQ Restoration responded immediately to assess the water damage, begin removal of affected materials, and initiate mold remediation. The water damage restoration in Bloomfield involved controlled demolition of the wall and wet insulation, followed by structural drying and microbial treatment. The entire process was covered by the homeowner’s insurance policy, ensuring a complete cleanup without financial delays.

PDQ Restoration’s team in Bloomfield deployed commercial-grade air movers and dehumidifiers to reduce humidity levels and dry the structural framing. Due to active mold growth, a hydroxyl generator was installed to safely deodorize the space and neutralize airborne spores without requiring occupant evacuation. Mold remediation in Bloomfield included HEPA vacuuming, application of antimicrobial agents, and moisture mapping to ensure no residual dampness remained. Technicians conducted daily monitoring to confirm that conditions were safe and stable before beginning reconstruction. Within several days, the living room in Bloomfield was fully remediated, odor-free, and cleared of all water and mold-related damage.
