Job completed for Laura J. - Montclair, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: June 3, 2025

Location: Montclair, NJ

Solutions provided:

When Laura J. of Montclair noticed water pooling around the base of her bathroom toilet, she quickly discovered a slow but steady leak from the toilet's connection flange. The leak had gone unnoticed for several days, saturating the subfloor, baseboards, and nearby cabinetry. PDQ Restoration responded promptly to perform water damage mitigation and prevent the spread of moisture to adjacent rooms. The bathroom water damage in Montclair required removal of vinyl flooring, disconnection of the toilet, and structural drying of the subfloor. The water damage cleanup was fully covered by the homeowner's insurance policy, allowing for immediate and thorough restoration.

PDQ Restoration’s technicians in Montclair used moisture meters to confirm the extent of water intrusion beneath the flooring and into surrounding drywall. Specialized drying equipment, including air movers and dehumidifiers, was set up to dry the affected bathroom structure. After removing all saturated materials, the team applied antimicrobial treatments to prevent mold growth. The leaking toilet connection was repaired, and additional inspections ensured no secondary plumbing issues were present. The water damage restoration process in Montclair concluded with full dehumidification and clearance testing, returning the bathroom to a clean, dry, and safe condition.
