Job completed for Allison J. - Rosemont, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: July 19, 2025

Location: Rosemont, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Allison J. in Rosemont, NJ suffered water damage after a pipe burst behind the wall in her kitchen, likely due to freezing temperatures causing the pipe to expand and crack. The concealed leak went unnoticed for several hours, saturating the wall cavity, base cabinets, and hardwood kitchen floor before pooling into adjacent rooms. PDQ’s water damage restoration team was called to the Rosemont property for emergency water extraction and structural drying. Technicians removed the water-damaged base cabinets and opened the drywall to access the source of the leak and assess the extent of the saturation. Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers were installed to dry the subfloor, wall studs, and surrounding materials.

The Rosemont kitchen water damage required removal of wet insulation and detailed moisture mapping to ensure no hidden pockets of water remained behind the cabinetry or walls. Daily monitoring confirmed the drying process was successful, and antimicrobial agents were applied to prevent mold growth in affected areas. The homeowner’s insurance policy covered the water damage restoration, allowing for prompt repairs and rebuild planning. As with many burst pipe incidents in Rosemont, the water migrated quickly beneath flooring and into lower wall sections, making fast response critical. By the end of the project, the Rosemont kitchen was completely dry, sanitized, and cleared for reconstruction.
