Job completed for Brian C. - Clifton, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: June 4, 2025

Location: Clifton, NJ

Solutions provided:

When Brian C. of Clifton discovered standing water spreading across his unfinished basement, he traced the source to a burst pipe located next to the washroom area. The pipe had failed overnight, releasing gallons of water that quickly saturated stored contents, concrete flooring, and adjacent walls. PDQ Restoration arrived swiftly to initiate water extraction and set up containment barriers around the affected washroom zone to prevent cross-contamination. The water damage in Clifton required targeted mitigation measures, including contents sorting, moisture mapping, and isolation of the impacted areas. Cleanup and drying services were fully covered by the homeowner’s insurance, streamlining the restoration process.

In Clifton, PDQ Restoration technicians removed wet materials, disinfected affected surfaces, and deployed commercial dehumidifiers and air movers to dry the basement structure. Because the water had migrated into wall cavities and beneath shelving units, containment was crucial to limit the spread of moisture and reduce mold risk. Daily monitoring and humidity checks ensured drying goals were met efficiently. The water damage cleanup also included pipe repair and insulation replacement to prevent future incidents. After thorough structural drying and sanitation, the unfinished basement in Clifton was stabilized and cleared for safe use once again.
