Job completed for Cheryl N. - Ridgefield Park, NJ - Water Damage

Completion date: July 24, 2025

Location: Ridgefield Park, NJ

Solutions provided:

Homeowner Cheryl N. in Ridgefield Park, NJ experienced sudden water damage after the water intake pipe behind her upstairs toilet burst, flooding the bathroom and spreading into the adjacent hallway. The pressurized water quickly saturated the bathroom floor, hallway carpeting, and soaked into the subfloor and baseboards. PDQ’s water damage restoration team arrived in Ridgefield Park to perform immediate water extraction and assess the extent of the water migration. Technicians removed water-damaged baseboards and opened sections of drywall to dry wall cavities, while high-powered air movers and dehumidifiers were installed to address moisture in flooring and beneath the cabinetry.

This Ridgefield Park water damage incident required detailed moisture mapping to track water intrusion into adjacent rooms and along the ceiling below. Antimicrobial treatments were applied to prevent mold development, and the hallway carpet was pulled back to ensure the subfloor was fully dried. The homeowner’s insurance policy covered the water damage mitigation and restoration services, allowing for efficient repairs and material replacement. Burst toilet supply lines are a common cause of water damage in Ridgefield Park homes, especially when located on upper floors where gravity accelerates water migration. By the end of the project, the Ridgefield Park home was dry, sanitized, and ready for reconstruction without risk of secondary damage.
