Job completed for Daniel R. - Skillman, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: July 16, 2025

Location: Skillman, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Daniel R. in Skillman, NJ experienced extensive water damage after a pipe burst inside the kitchen ceiling during a cold snap. The sudden rupture sent water cascading down through the ceiling drywall, saturating the cabinetry, lighting fixtures, and hardwood flooring below. PDQ’s emergency water damage restoration team responded immediately in Skillman to begin water extraction and structural drying. Ceiling materials were removed to expose the damaged pipe and access soaked insulation, while containment was set up to control humidity and protect unaffected areas. High-powered air movers and commercial-grade dehumidifiers were deployed to stabilize the environment and dry all water-damaged structural components.

The burst pipe water damage in Skillman required comprehensive documentation for the homeowner's insurance provider, which fully covered the restoration work. Wet insulation was removed and disposed of, while water-damaged drywall, crown molding, and recessed lighting were assessed for safety and replaced where needed. Moisture meters confirmed that the water had spread laterally, prompting extended drying efforts into adjacent rooms and cabinetry. This type of pipe burst in Skillman homes can lead to hidden moisture buildup behind walls and flooring, which our technicians addressed with infrared imaging and daily monitoring. By the end of the project, the Skillman property was fully dried and prepped for reconstruction, ensuring no residual moisture or mold risk remained.
