Job completed for Stephanie W. - Rochelle Park, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: July 21, 2025

Location: Rochelle Park, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Stephanie W. in Rochelle Park, NJ discovered water damage in the ceiling above her attached garage after a pipe in the attic began leaking due to a loose fitting. Over time, the slow leak saturated insulation and ceiling drywall, eventually causing visible staining, bubbling paint, and minor drywall collapse. PDQ’s water damage restoration team responded promptly in Rochelle Park to locate the source of the leak, shut off the water supply, and begin mitigation. Crews removed the damaged ceiling materials to expose wet insulation and framing, then used moisture meters and thermal imaging to assess the extent of water intrusion. Air movers and dehumidifiers were installed in the garage to dry the affected structure efficiently.

The attic pipe leak caused water to migrate through several sections of the ceiling, prompting targeted demolition and antimicrobial application to prevent mold growth. The homeowner’s insurance covered the water damage restoration, including insulation removal and drying of the attic floor and surrounding rafters. This Rochelle Park water damage job emphasized the importance of early leak detection and proper drying of attic and ceiling spaces. Technicians monitored moisture levels daily until the area was fully stabilized and dry. By the end of the project, the Rochelle Park property’s garage and attic spaces were cleared of all water-damaged materials and made ready for reconstruction.
