Job completed for Jonathan H. - Ringoes, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: July 23, 2025

Location: Ringoes, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Jonathan H. in Ringoes, NJ discovered water damage in the ceiling of his partially finished basement after a supply line began leaking above the storage area. The slow ceiling leak saturated drywall and insulation before dripping onto the floor, damaging both finished and unfinished sections of the basement. PDQ’s water damage restoration team arrived in Ringoes to assess the extent of the water intrusion and begin mitigation. Crews carefully removed the wet ceiling drywall and insulation, then performed content manipulation to protect numerous stored items, boxes, and shelving units from further damage. Industrial dehumidifiers and air movers were set up to dry the exposed structure and prevent mold growth.

The Ringoes basement water damage also required targeted drying beneath carpeted areas and along framed walls that were partially affected by moisture. Daily monitoring confirmed successful moisture reduction, and antimicrobial treatments were applied to sanitize all impacted surfaces. The homeowner’s insurance covered the water damage cleanup and drying, allowing for seamless documentation and repairs. Water leaks in partially finished basements in Ringoes can be especially challenging due to mixed-use spaces and content density, which the restoration team addressed with careful planning and containment. By project completion, the Ringoes property was stabilized, dry, and cleared for ceiling repairs and content restoration.
