Job completed for Michelle K. - Sergeantsville, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: July 17, 2025

Location: Sergeantsville, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Michelle K. in Sergeantsville, NJ faced severe water damage after a pipe burst in the ceiling of her living room during a frigid winter morning. The ceiling collapse released gallons of water onto the hardwood floor, saturating area rugs, wall cavities, and upholstered furniture. PDQ’s water damage restoration team arrived quickly in Sergeantsville to perform emergency water extraction and begin structural drying. Technicians removed the collapsed ceiling drywall and extracted water from flooring, then deployed industrial air movers and dehumidifiers to address moisture in hidden spaces. The affected ceiling area was thoroughly inspected, revealing wet insulation and signs of water migration into adjacent rooms.

This ceiling water damage job in Sergeantsville involved removal of soaked insulation and damaged crown molding, followed by antimicrobial treatment to prevent mold growth. The home’s HVAC system was also inspected to ensure no water had entered ductwork in the ceiling cavity. The water damage restoration process in Sergeantsville was fully covered by the homeowner’s insurance, which allowed for seamless coordination of repairs and documentation. Moisture meters and thermal imaging confirmed complete drying before reconstruction planning began. Sergeantsville homes experiencing burst pipe damage benefit from fast mitigation to prevent secondary damage, especially when ceilings collapse and expose structural materials to prolonged moisture.
