Job completed for Kevin D. - Waldwick, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: May 20, 2025

Location: Waldwick, NJ

Solutions provided:

When Kevin D. of Waldwick heard dripping above his kitchen ceiling, he discovered a burst pipe in the floor cavity between the first and second stories. The pipe had failed during a cold snap, saturating ceiling drywall, insulation, and cabinetry before leaking down onto the kitchen floor. PDQ Restoration arrived promptly to assess the damage and begin emergency water extraction and demolition. The water damage in Waldwick required removal of ceiling sections and affected insulation to allow for structural drying. This kitchen water damage restoration was covered by Kevin’s homeowner’s insurance, facilitating a smooth and immediate response.

PDQ Restoration technicians in Waldwick used moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect hidden water saturation throughout the ceiling and upper wall areas. Wet materials were removed, and antimicrobial treatments were applied to prevent mold growth in vulnerable areas. High-powered air movers and dehumidifiers were installed to dry exposed joists, subflooring, and cabinetry interiors. The burst pipe was repaired, and surrounding plumbing inspected to ensure no additional vulnerabilities. After several days of controlled drying and environmental monitoring, the kitchen in Waldwick was declared structurally sound and ready for reconstruction.
