Job completed for Megan S. - Emerson, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: May 29, 2025

Location: Emerson, NJ

Solutions provided:

When Megan S. of Emerson noticed water pooling beneath her kitchen cabinets, she discovered her dishwasher had been leaking from a damaged drain hose. The slow leak had gone undetected for several days, saturating the hardwood flooring, toe kicks, and drywall behind the appliance. PDQ Restoration arrived promptly to perform water damage mitigation, beginning with moisture mapping and the removal of water-damaged materials. The kitchen water damage in Emerson required partial removal of cabinetry and baseboards to access and dry the affected areas. The restoration process was fully covered by the homeowner’s insurance policy, allowing for a complete and timely response.

PDQ Restoration’s team in Emerson used commercial dehumidifiers and air movers to dry the subfloor and wall cavities behind the dishwasher. Antimicrobial treatments were applied to prevent microbial growth, and a detailed inspection confirmed that moisture had not spread to adjacent rooms. Technicians repaired the faulty dishwasher connection and ensured all plumbing was secure before reconstruction. The water damage cleanup in Emerson concluded with daily equipment monitoring and moisture level verification to ensure the kitchen was dry and structurally sound. Within several days, Megan’s kitchen was fully stabilized and cleared for rebuild.
