Job completed for Gina S. - Layton, NJ - Water Damage

Location: Layton, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Gina S. in Layton, NJ required emergency sewage cleanup and water damage restoration after discovering a leaking toilet base connection in her first-floor bathroom. The wax ring seal had deteriorated, allowing a mixture of clean water and raw sewage to seep under the bathroom tile and into the subfloor. Over time, the leak extended into the crawl space below, creating both structural and biohazard concerns. Sewage-related water damage from faulty toilet connections is a frequent issue in older homes throughout Layton. Thankfully, Gina’s insurance policy covered the sewage removal and water damage mitigation services in full.

Our Layton, NJ team responded quickly, removing the toilet and contaminated flooring to expose all affected materials. The sewage removal process involved extracting black water, sanitizing subflooring, and removing any insulation that had come into contact with contaminated liquid. Industrial air movers and dehumidifiers were used to dry the area thoroughly while air scrubbers addressed airborne contaminants. All biohazard cleanup procedures followed IICRC and OSHA standards for trauma and sewage clean-up in Layton. Once dried and disinfected, we conducted a final inspection to confirm safe moisture levels. Gina’s home in Layton, NJ was left clean, safe, and fully prepared for repairs to the bathroom flooring and fixtures.
