Solutions provided:

Homeowner Brian K. in Lodi, NJ experienced water damage after a leaking bathroom pipe on the first floor caused water to seep into the finished basement below. The leak, originating from a cracked PVC drain line behind the shower wall, had been dripping slowly for several days before signs appeared—staining on the basement ceiling and a musty odor. Water damage from leaking bathroom pipes is a frequent issue in Lodi, especially in older homes with aging plumbing. Our crew responded promptly, and the homeowner’s insurance policy covered the full cost of the water mitigation and structural drying services.

Our water damage restoration team in Lodi, NJ began by cutting out water-stained drywall from the basement ceiling to expose and access the leak source. After repairing the compromised plumbing, we used moisture meters to assess surrounding areas for hidden saturation. Wet insulation was removed, and air movers and dehumidifiers were installed to dry out the ceiling cavity and affected basement flooring. The team treated exposed areas with antimicrobial solution to prevent mold growth, a common concern following bathroom pipe leaks in Lodi homes. All water extraction and drying efforts were documented for insurance claim purposes. Within days, Brian’s basement in Lodi, NJ was fully dried, safe, and ready for repairs.
