Job completed for Lindsey R. - Hawthorne, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: May 24, 2025

Location: Hawthorne, NJ

Solutions provided:

When Lindsey R. of Hawthorne noticed a damp carpet and water stains forming along the base of her living room wall, she quickly discovered a broken pipe hidden behind the drywall. The pipe had cracked due to age and pressure, allowing water to leak steadily into the wall cavity and flooring. PDQ Restoration responded immediately to assess the water damage and begin mitigation. The living room in Hawthorne required removal of wet drywall, baseboards, and insulation to fully expose and dry the affected structure. This water damage cleanup was covered by Lindsey’s homeowner’s insurance, allowing the restoration to proceed without delay.

PDQ Restoration’s team in Hawthorne used thermal imaging to trace the spread of moisture throughout the living room wall and adjoining floor area. Commercial air movers and dehumidifiers were deployed to dry the subfloor, wall studs, and adjacent carpeted surfaces. Antimicrobial agents were applied to prevent potential mold growth, and the broken pipe was replaced and pressure-tested. Daily monitoring ensured that all structural components were completely dry before reconstruction. Within several days, the water-damaged living room in Hawthorne was stabilized, sanitized, and ready for repairs.
