Job completed for Mark D. - South Bound Brook, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: July 12, 2025

Location: South Bound Brook, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Mark D. in South Bound Brook contacted PDQ after discovering a flooded finished basement caused by heavy rainfall overwhelming a nearby storm drain. The basement water intrusion led to significant water damage throughout the fully carpeted lower level, including waterlogged drywall, soaked insulation, and saturated contents. Our emergency response team arrived promptly in South Bound Brook to begin immediate water extraction and moisture mapping of all impacted materials. Crews removed the wet carpet and padding, opened walls to expose hidden moisture, and utilized industrial air movers and dehumidifiers for comprehensive structure drying. Contents were inventoried and relocated for offsite drying and storage while antimicrobial treatment was applied to prevent mold growth.

The water damage restoration in South Bound Brook included thorough inspection for hidden moisture behind built-ins and within the HVAC system. Wet insulation was fully removed, and water-damaged baseboards and trim were discarded as part of the mitigation process. The homeowner’s insurance covered the water damage cleanup, ensuring the restoration process moved forward without financial delay. South Bound Brook residents often face water damage from sump pump failure and groundwater infiltration during storms, making this type of basement flooding common in the area. By the end of the project, our team ensured the South Bound Brook property was fully dried, sanitized, and ready for reconstruction, eliminating the risk of secondary damage from mold or structural decay.
